Welcome to your weekend edit, curating the best of what to do, see and of course, EAT, in Bombay. From must-visit art exhibits to a blink-and-you’ll-miss it pop-up by Bomra’s – here’s all that’s keeping us busy this coming weekend.
Modus Operandi II | In Situ: An Artist Studio
Where: Chemould Prescott Gallery
What: An exhibition of 21 gallery artists who have unpacked their studio, curating a selection of their practice at the institutional Chemould Prescott Gallery in Fort.
Showcasing iconic names from Atul and Anju Dodiya to Tanuja Rane and Bijoy Jain/ Studio Mumbai – the exhibit spotlights different modes and mediums of creating art, whilst highlighting the spectrum of sensibilities and inspirations drawn by contemporary artists. It’s also a perfect opportunity for collectors – whether amateur or seasoned- to expand their repertoire of contemporary works at relatively accessible prices.

Save The Tiger
Where: TAO Art Gallery
What: Curated by Kalpana Shah and Fawad Tamkanat at Worli’s iconoclast sea-facing Tao Gallery, this unique exhibit brings together over 80 sculptors and painters who have crafted masks celebrating the inimitable power and beauty of The Tiger. Look out for photographs by Rajesh Khanna, Urvi Piramal and father-daughter duo, Raj and Isheta Salgaocar too.

Bomra’s at O Pedro
Where: O Pedro, BKC
When: July 27 & 28
What: Two Kitchens, One Table
Legendary Chef Bawmra is bringing his sun-drenched menu to Bombay this weekend. If you know, you know the high-level pleasures at Bomra’s – a bucket-list visit in Goa, for its nostalgic take on Burmese cuisine, harking back to Bawmra’s childhood in Rangoon. Expect all his textbook classics at a collaborative dinner with O Pedro, from Good Ol’ Khowsuey to the textured play on ‘La-Pay-Toe,’ ballasted by a steady flow of cocktails. Tom Yum Iced Tea anyone?

Top Pick for Brunch This Week
Where: Cecconi’s Juhu
Why: The Sunday Feast at Cecconi’s is an effortlessly breezy affair, soundtracked in equal measure by the soulful jazz melodies of a live band, as by the soothing sounds of the waves gently crashing over Juhu Beach.
There’s a cocktail cart in rotation and all your favourite Italian dishes and desserts to choose from, served up with Cecconi’s characteristic charm. Of course a parade of people-watching isn’t amiss either, given the see-and-be-seen quality of this haute hangout!
