At These Best Restaurants In Mylapore You’re Sure To Find Something For Everyone In The Family
When in Chennai, Mylapore should be your one stop tourist destination. This area is one of the oldest residential parts of the city and is home to various religious places as well. The Kapaleeswarar Temple, Ramakrishna Math, Santhome Basilica and Luz Church are all in this area. Mylapore is brewing with historical importance, but it is also filled with restaurants where you can rest your weary feet after a walking tour of the area.
While street food is very popular in Mylapore, it’s not exactly what you might be looking for during the summer or the monsoons. To get out of the sun and enjoy some air-conditioning, we’ve got a list of restaurants you should visit.
Tovo Infusions
There’s Tovo. It’s a daily meat feast where you can decide between a full chicken or a quarter chicken, covered in spicy or non-spicy sauce of your choosing. And they’ve also got burgers which look as good as they taste.
Kaidi Kitchen
If you’re vegetarian, then Kaidi Kitchen is perfect. It’s one of the many themed restaurants in the city, but this one is styled after a prison, serving all kinds of cuisines. You can choose to sit inside a prison cell during your meal and be waited on staff dressed in prison costumes. It’s food and a show!
