BelleBarcelone in BelleBombay! Trendy Mumbai!

Trendy and bohemian at the same time, Mumbai or Bombay won’t leave you indifferent. Always buzzing and noisy, this cosmopolitan city is rich with colors and culture. The perfect blend between North and South of India, Bombayites are hardworking, modern people that love to shop, eat and enjoy. Let me take you to my favorite places in SoBo, south Bombay, filled with chic restaurants, cozy corners, high fashion boutiques and street shopping.The soul of Mumbai lies in the casual “street” food but you also have many trendy places.
