A Global Culinary Trail Across Chennai

Chennai's dining scene has been transformed over the last couple of decades. It's a story we've seen with most big metros across India as more Indians travel abroad for work and vacations. More international expats have made Chennai home. The city has become one of South Asia's hubs for healthcare, automobile and electronic manufacturing as well as IT and ITES. Chennai loves its Asian flavours, from Korean to Ramen bowls and Sichuan cuisine, everything is in the mix. But there's more than just Asian plates on offer. 

We Take You On An International Food Journey Across Chennai:

1. Power Breakfast To Kickstart Your Day:

In a city that wakes up earlier than most metros, Pumpkin Tales offers a variety of international breakfast options. Try a Singapore-style Kaya Toast or a classic Egg Benedict (The Royal Benny is our pick) or opt for a healthy option - a Congee Bowl finished with tofu or chicken.
Where: Bheemana Garden Road, Alwarpet

2. Ramen Bowls At The OG Spot:

Chennai's love for Ramen may be a recent phenomenon but it's almost unconditional. Oji Ramen describes itself as a vibrant eatery where the broth is hot and the vibes are cool. The tough part is finding a table at this popular Ramen bar where their Keishoku (Japanese light lunch menu) is a safe bet.

5. Go Japanese At Hokkaido:

Named after Japan's northern-most island and one of the country's most popular culinary hotspots. You have to jostle for tables with Asian expats on the weekend but the wait is well worth it. Their sashimi and sushi rolls are terrific while their lunch platters are perfect for the undecided.
