Incredibly Rude Owner Jan 19, 2012
Cafe Noir Vittal Mallya Road | 37 reviews
Some people have been raving about the desserts at this place, so I guess it wasn't surprising that I found myself here. What was surprising though was that we left without eating anything.
It was a Sunday evening and the place was packed. They gave us a table on the side which was fine but they refused to give us a third chair. When the third member of our party arrived, they gave us a high bar stool which made it akward for conversation and, more importantly, made it nearly impossible for the person sitting on the bar stool to eat. I could understand of all this. They didn't have any... read more -

The Cupcake Company Alwarpet | 8 reviews
Sugar, sugar, sugar: Sometimes its all I can think about. And as part of my sugar jaunt I visited The Cupcake Company. The place is quite pretty with muted interiors and the white flowers were a nice touch. It's primarily a take away place with just one table.
The Death by Chocolate was a huge hit with us. The cupcake was soft and moist, the texture great and the chocolate wasn't excessive. I also had a bite of Nia's red velvet which I quite liked. It was no Hummingbird Bakery but it would do.
The Plain Jane was decent enough. Nothing I would order again but I had no complain... read more -

Vintage Bank Ekkaduthangal | 2 reviews
For pictures, and more reviews, visit my blog!
The theme of Vintage Bank is elegant, old-world luxury and the decor amply reflects that. Lush, cushioned chairs, wooden ceilings and a heavy air of opulence dominate this place.
They have a wide selection of wines and if you are undecided on which ones to order, I suggest you ask their super helpful sommeliers or take the wine flight option (At Rs. 1000, I think the wine flight is a great VFM option). The wine flight option comes with three wines and a selection of cheeses. I chose the red wine option while YJ and Nipsy picked... read more -

Mylai Karpagambal Mess Mylapore | 21 reviews

Walk into this place and you will immediately be accosted by a pantheon of well adorned gods and goddesses staring sternly at you. Every single space on the wall sports life sized pictures of the almighty. Now I know that this mess is right behind the temple and all but I found the decor a little disconcerting.
Quickly I decided to pay my allegiance to the gastronomical gods and placed a rather large breakfast order.
The Special Vadai (Rs.18) was wonderful. Piping hot served with a no-nonsense sambar and chutney and oh... read more -

Fruit Shop on Greams Road Besant Nagar | 14 reviews
For more reviews, pictures and menus visit my blog!
For the umpteenth time, I am trying to eat healthy (they do say 37th time is a charm, right?). As part of this venture, I'm going to take you to Fruit Shop on Greams Road. Contrary to it's name, the shop is not (just) on Greams Road. If you have spent any amount of time in the city you must have noticed the bright yellow boards dotting various locations across the city. This review is largely based on my experiences at the Beasant Nagar branch.
The shop itself is a bit bizarre: slightly run down and filled with black & white... read more -
