Wikipedia's "Bengaluru (Bangalore) "According to the item" Bengaluru is India's third largest economic city that is making the greatest contribution to Indian software exports, as it is called "Indian Silicon Valley" among the southern Indian cities where IT industry is concentrated.


However, if you enter the alley, it will be like a downtown.



"Talking of India is a cow" is a well-known fact in Japan, but it is due to the idea of ​​Hindu style saint cattle worship. A cow going through the town with cars and motorbikes.


In the item of Hinduism of Wikipedia, "Holy celebrationThere are small items such as "It is described as follows.

Cow is a target of worship in Hindu society. Cows often appear in myths, for example, Shiva's ride is a bull called Nandin. Bulls are used for transportation, transportation and farming even in the real world, cows feed milk and dried cow dung is a valuable fuel. However, what is sanctified is primarily a cow, and buffalo is not subject to worship.

So, when traveling India, about 80% of the population believes in Hinduism, there is rarely a menu of beef in the restaurant. But one day, I wanted to eat beef steaks asexually. That's why I have a steak restaurant reputed as "Bengaluru 1" when I search it!

Immediately, I took a busy bus to MG Road in downtown area.


This is MG Road. Incidentally, MG took the initials of Mahatma Gandhi.


Various shops are lined up ......


I looked around for 30 minutes and found a steak shop for me. Nuke ...


Arrived at "PORTLAND"!


Oops, it is written "STEAKHOUSE" dignifiedly on the signboard. Because it is also written in Japanese, is it a Japanese purveyor? This seems to be expected!


When entering the store ......

When I arrived at the table, the dishes and the knives & forks were carefully lined up.


Then see the menu.


Besides regular vegetarian menu,


A beef menu was prepared. There are 14 kinds of steak menu, price is 350 rupees ~ 600 rupees (595 yen ~ 1020 yen).


When I talk to a restaurant person, there are a lot of religions other than Hinduism in India, and there are also overseas resident in urban areas like Bengaluru, so restaurants that can eat steaks It is surprisingly easy to find.

You can also choose how to bake, sauce, side menu.


Order Chateau Briand called the highest grade steak 350 g (515 rupees: 876 yen) without hesitation! The way to bake is medium and the sauce is pepper garlic. In addition, ordered citrus and vegetable salad (175 rupees: 298 yen), passion fruit fizz (150 rupees: 255 yen).


Wait 10 minutes ......

An appetizer "citrus and vegetable salad" arrived at astonishingly quick. It has been a while since I saw such a delicious salad (crying)


I write citrus, but only mikan is contained. It is a simple salad of lettuce, cucumber and tomato.


Avocado & mayonnaise based dressing is rich, but it does not feel so-called stinky. It is exquisitely involved in the refreshing acidity of the mandarin oranges and complements the taste of vegetables.


Next is "Passion Fruit Fizz", which is a cocktail.


Although Hinduism is not as rigid as Islam, alcohol is said to be "undesirable". Basically, there are many people who do not drink, but it is not so if alcohol is not available in India.

Is it ok to drink such stylish things in India, and also in the status of backpackers ...?

Take a closer look ... ...
