Terrasinne is a wonderful place to spend a day and be served by people who care for you. It is a Multicuisine Restaurant located at F C road, Pune (near Tukaram Paduka chowk)
Once you are seated, a young girl comes and explains to you how the restaurant functions.
All orders are to be placed with sign language and the menu card has an easy to understand prompt for it.
The food takes some time to come but that is understandable as it is freshly made. The ambiance and the staff put you at ease and that helps you to relax.
The reverse triangle sign of Terrasinne is an Alchemy sign which means 'Earth' (Terra) and Sinne means World Cuisines.
This is one dignified platform for many - 14 disabilities like, blind, deaf, down syndrome, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, deaf and autistic spectrum, epilepsy..... (just a few to mention)
The founder, Dr. Sonam Kapse ensures that the kitchen does not use preservatives, additives or unhealthy ingredients. Terrasinne has collaborated with 200 plus farmers which encourages the propaganda of farm-to-table food.
Some of the photos I clicked while a food photo shoot was going on.
I heard that group discounts on party bookings are available. I feel more people should patronize the place as it is a win win situation. The joy and happiness you see on their faces is worth it.
I made a short two minute video of them in action.
Before leaving we had Filter coffee and cold coffee from Trelish, and that is something I would personally recommend for the coffee fans.
I like their tip box and I presume the tip is shared by all.
On one side
they had these huge windows with some good old chairs and tables. (I am told
that most of the old furniture is still maintained and in use here) It does take
you back by a quarter century and how restaurants were in those days.
On the other
side we have a view of the bustling Spui square and the customers sitting out
who like to take in the street view while having their food.
I liked the
elegant décor of the bar.
I was always
curious about the traditional Dutch food. As it was noon, I opted for a
traditional Dutch lunch, which comprised of fresh Pomodori tomato soup, a slice
of bread with Russian salad and another slice with veal croquette. It may not look much on the plate, but less is more as it was really filling. Loved those pickled gherkin.
My friend
Martin said that it was too early for him to have lunch and settled for cheese
cake and Latte coffee.
The one who
served us was quick on his feet and always had a smile on his face. I also
noticed that he greeted and chatted with most of the customers, which indicated
that most of them were regulars here.
The good
food and the efficient service explains why it is a bustling place.
Like the
collection of papers they have for the customers. Noticed some English papers
too (respect for all customers)
While
stepping out I saw this pedal bus, a good idea to generate power while you sip
beer.
Those who
visit the Begijnhof cannot miss this place as it is just four steps away.
