Breakfast & Cereals
Mornings at the Pantry begin as they have since 1962: granola turned by hand in copper pans, oats milled slow, honey drawn from a single valley. Here are the first-light essentials — preserves of Ratnagiri alphonso, eggs from heritage flocks, loaves still warm from the night bake — gathered for tables that take breakfast seriously.

Pantry Notes
From the buyer's ledger.
The Night Bake
Our bakers fire the deck ovens at three, so the miche reaches the Colaba counter still ticking with warmth. Anything unsold by noon goes to the staff table — we would rather bake short than sell stale.
Keeping Honey
Saffron honey will crystallise through a Mumbai monsoon's swings of temperature; this is character, not fault. Stand the jar in warm water to loosen it, and never let it near the refrigerator.
On Pairing
Spoon the alphonso conserve over thick curd rather than toast — Ratnagiri's perfume favours something cool and plain. A few threads of the Pampore honey finish a bowl of porridge better than sugar ever has.
