A gorgeous colonial house that was last inhabited in 1904, has been converted into a boutique hotel by a young entrepreneur Megha
Agarwal. There are just seven rooms, named after colours that echo British trade and lifestyle in the Colonies from Indigo to Ivory. There
are charming four-poster beds, carved widows, floral balconies and more. But sitting amidst all this prettiness is also a fairly contemporary
restaurant.
The global menu offers a jumble of flavours: you can dip Potato Wedges in Cheese Fondue with Sundried Tomatoes, or have beet-flavoured
Hummus, Honey Glazed Grilled Chicken paired with Bengali mustard and even Grilled Shrimps tossed in a Chocolate Sauce. It is one of
those places that you must visit to breathe in the atmosphere and yet come back having managed a light and cosmopolitan bite.

2. Bohemian
Chef Joy Banerjees restaurant is indeed bohemian both in looks and what it feeds you free spirited in nature. Banerjee uses traditional
Bengali ingredients to craft unconventional dishes, portraying a contemporary take on Bengali food. In each dish, the local ingredients take
centrestage. The new menu at his restaurant includes the likes of Firangee Mutton Roast with Spinach and Coconut Jus, Cauliflower and
Mustard Pudding with Coconut and Darjeeling Chillies, and a Chital Steak in the fish section. A must visit.

3. Peter Cat
We are lucky to arrive slightly early for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and not have to queue up. Peter Cat is one of those Park Street
institutions that continues to thrive commercially too. Step in and you are in another era with waiters wearing turbans and pathan suits that
take you back to Mughalai of the early 20th century. Similar restaurants in Delhis Connaught Place may have lost their sheen, but Peter
Cat, even if fraying, has the best Chelo Kebab Platter served with white rice and cubes of butter on the side, which just makes it irresistible!

4. Caf Pranah
With its Buddhist prayer flags and chic wooden decor, this quaint caf serves health food. It calls itself the citys first health caf and has an
eclectic menu of not just salads but also chaats, burgers and so on all done healthier than their traditional versions, such as the Oatmeal
Papdi Chaat. Other interesting treats include Chickpea Pancakes, Couscous Ensamble, Yoghurt Parfait, etc. You can sip on some Kashmiri
Kahwa or try one of their delicious smoothies called Morning Glory (papaya, lime and almond).
One of the newbies in town as compared to Kolkatas heritage bakeries, Mrs. Magpie resembles an English teahouse. Owned by Pastry Chef
Sohini Basu Behrens, it opened its doors three years back. It is recommended for its sinful desserts and savouries. Whats worth a try?
Quiches, pies, puds and the Cream Cheese Brownies.

6. Jiyo Piyo
Kolkata boy gone national (and hopefully global), Chef Vikramjit Roy of Tian says it is one of those places where nothing is authentic but
everything is absolutely delish. So if you are not looking for something authentic and are alright with turning a blind eye to the ambience,
this could be your fix for comfort food dosa, chole bhature, shakes, et al!

There is something about Flurys that defies logic. No matter the number of times you have been here, no matter how often you decide that
the ice cream soda is not that great, you still land up going to this institution to sit in peace and watch the world go by. It has a hard-to-beat
vintage charm. And there is dignity in their ageing servers that is hard to come by anywhere else. It is a must-visit if you are looking for
scrumptious breakfast.
