Mumbai, India

Best cocktails in the city, bar none. The Satin, Muslin, and the Banarasi are all excellent, and the interior courtyard is gorgeous.

Casual all-day spot with unexpectedly great, complex cocktails. The food menu is all over (Chinese, Indian, Italian) but also good.

Lively Italian restaurant with handmade pastas and pizza. It's usually booked out at least a few days in advance, so plan ahead.

Stylish cocktail bar in Bandra that almost as much like a contemporary art gallery as it does a cocktail bar. Specializes in palomas, as you might guess.

Best coffee in the city, with beans sourced from all over the country. Open relatively late (20:00) with a lot of seating space and good wifi, but with limited power outlets.
