Beachy Bistro by Jeffrin Jiji George
MSc in Interior Design
Beachy Bistro, designed by Jeffrin Jiji George, the winner of the Best Sustainable Retreat Design Award, ditches the usual “urban eatery” vibe for something chill. Forget scrolling on your phone, they’ve got you dropping your gadgets at a little counter and talking to people.
Designer Brief
You walk in, and you’re on a Greek island, but squarely in all that Bangalore noise. There’s sand underfoot, sea plants, that calm water sounds—It represents nature’s way of decisively counteracting the stress induced by city stimulation. If you’re tired of beige cafés pretending to be “escape spots,” this is the place to be at.
Jeffrin’s got a thing for design—biophilia, smart eco tricks, and everything sustainable: second-life wood, rattan chairs that make you want to curl up in, cool blue-green ceramics, and metals with a salty, aged look. Open layout, loads of air—no stuffy walls closing in. It’s indoors and outdoors marrying each other, and nobody’s getting cold feet.
And they’re not just shouting “eco-friendly” for performance points. We’re talking clever natural ventilation, fancy lighting that doesn’t burn the planet, water recycling, and even those taps that pretend they’re waterfalls but barely use any water. They care—and it shows.
Beachy Bistro isn’t just about munching on overpriced avocado toast. It’s therapy in café form. Jeffrin nails that oddly rare combo: you feel good eating there, and not just because the food’s decent, but because the place pulls you out of the doom-scroll spiral and reminds you what real pause feels like. Sustainability and good vibes can truly get along.
