Is it worth saying that in such a huge city, like Chennai, an indispensable number of all sorts of institutions where you can eat and eat a romantic dinner, and quickly snack. Naturally, the most important institutions in the city center, on these numerous narrow streets.
Along the beach Marina Beach, his beloved alleys for walking, cafe a little smaller, but there will be a street food merchants. And in the city there are several McDonald's restaurants (at least 8 in different parts of the city), twice as many KFCs (just as everywhere) and Burgerking next to Guindi Park. In fact, you can not worry at all, where and what to eat in Chennai. But, if it can come in handy, then here is a list of best food institutions in the city (the most expensive we will not consider).
"Peshawri"
(Next to the Semmozhi Poonga Botanical Garden, across the road from the Church of St. Anthony)The restaurant serves Northwestern Indo-Muslim cuisine (Mugolov's kitchen). Yes, this is not the cheapest restaurant in the area, but the service and the situation is just fine!
There are vegetarian options (there are slightly smaller) and options for meatseeds - and so, and so just super. In general, the menu is quite large, it is worth noting. By the way, they eat hands here, and the spoon / fork will not bring until they ask. Another large plus restaurant is that you dine in a rather private atmosphere - not quite in individual cabins, but the tables are partially separated from each other. In general, if some important event is to be needed or just want to dinner in a beautiful setting, you here.
"Annalakshmi Restaurant"
(Bus stop - Ethiraj College, 100 meters from it to the north, opposite Rani Meyammai Hall)Another decent restaurant is quite elegant, not cheap, but not very expensive. Walls are decorated with objects of contemporary art and wood thread - it looks pretty cool! The restaurant is very elegant, with a rich decor and an impeccable atmosphere - here you certainly feel comfortable. The staff is very polite, the service is fast. Book tables better book, but you can try good luck so. Food - South Indian: Soups, Masala Vada (fried pancakes from black Masha and chickpea), different snacks, Papadam (Round lepts from leanching flour), sambar and etc.
Tuscana Pizzeria
(in the south of the city, 200 meters from the Apollo Children's Hospital, bus stop Ikpha)For those who managed to get tired of Indian cuisine, and want to eat something familiar, not particularly spending, you can go to this small cafe. Maintenance is excellent, and the food, especially pizza, is excellent: on a thin dough, literally melts in the mouth. This, again, is not the cheapest cafe, but certainly cheaper than the previous ones. In addition to pizza - various pasta, risotto, etc. As a starter, I recommend Focaccia Al Pallo (Focaccia, i.e. wheat cake, with chicken, mozzarella cheese and mushrooms) and Bruschetta with tomatoes, garlic and basil. By the way, there are also good seafood - soup with shrimps, salad with octopus, squid, shrimps and mussels - your fingers lick!
"SHREE MITHAI"
(Spencer Plaza, 2nd floor)SPENCER PLAZA is how you have already guessed, shopping center on the noisy long street Anna Salai. If you shop there, you will certainly look at this restaurant.
There you can try authentic Indian Chaats (the choice of a variety of Indian snacks) and sweets. Qualitatively and tasty. For many locals "Shree Mithai" - this is why it is worth coming into this shopping center, gradually losing its charm. In addition, there is inexpensive at all.
"Benjarong"
(at Krishnamachari Road, in the southern part of the city, 200 meters north of the bus stop Park Sheraton / Cooperative Bank)That's where it really is worth going. At least in order to contemplate the tapneck process. This is when the cook prepares food on a wide iron frying pan Teppane next to the trapping guests of the restaurant, after which the hot dish immediately falls into the plates. Price average. Food is not very sharp here, which is very nice for those who suffer from forever reproducing Indian cuisine. Plus a great atmosphere - it is not surprising that this small restaurant has a lot of loyal fans!
"BARBEQUE NATION"
(one - 300 meters south of the railway station Kodagakkam and right next to the Panagal Park bus stop, the other - next to the temple of Vadapalani Meriangan and Hotel Bhimaas)This is an amazing place for satisfying dinner with family, especially with children. Beautiful vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies, desserts and a delightful atmosphere. A whole bunch of snacks, and really delicious. The best barbecue restaurant city, probably.
"BOMBAY BRASSERIE"
(on the main road in the area of Handdigar in Adyar)The restaurant for those who do not want to spend greatly for lunch, but at the same time wants the restaurant to look more profitable. Beautiful team of waiters, impressive quality and taste of food, excellent interior. There is a restaurant in an old country house. So, the atmosphere is truly unique - with antique furniture and paintings on the walls. The choice of dishes is huge - it is very difficult to allocate something special (there are vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes). Near the restaurant there is parking, which, however, can be filled in an hour of peak. Ideal for family dinner.
"MURUGAN IDLI SHOP"
(they are in the city at least eight - I will not list addresses)The network of cheap simple restaurants, salvation for the tourist on the budget. I went - this is, in general, steam cakes from black Masha and rice flour, with different additives. They are more often prepared for breakfast, and more often with sauces of chutney and Sabar (these sauces can also be different, up to 5 species). In addition to the way, you can taste a bunch of options for disassembly (pancakes from lenty flour) and others. Unlike some other similar simple institutions in the district, they didn't venture into Chinese and other cuisine, fully focused on what they get to cook very well ."AMARAVATHI RESTAURANT"
(they, if not mistaken, in the city 5 - two, for example, in the Alvaret area)Cheap restaurant of South Indian cuisine. A decent atmosphere, enough space in parking, excellent food. Food, mostly acute; Service fast.
