Parfait 3 - Velachery

One of a kind in Chennai

There are not many american breakfast places i know in Chennai, this place is a real surprise. But it is still small time in Velachery, it wud have been more successful in nungambakkam or besant nagar.

Eggs made to order (esp the sunny side up) are great and reminds you of the breakfast places like iHop or Waffle house in the US. But the ambiance is ofcourse not so, its a typical coffee day kinda indian atmosphere. Service is great. They got bakery stuff and pastries in addition. The variety of icecreams can be increased. The mango smoothie is a must try. The burger and sandwiches are good too. No complains. The best part is they do door delivery u jus need to give em a call! The rates are reasonable.

Ambiance - 4/5

Food - 4/5

Service - 4/5

Price - 300 to 350 per couple (if u order drinks too, psst non-alcoholic!)

Will i go back there? - All the time.. i cant think of another choice wen i miss Waffle House!

JC Cafe - Nungambakkam

Surprise to the taste buds!

To be honest, I was a little skeptical when i entered this new cafe named 'Jesus Christ' with religious affiliation written all over it. The place looks like a house, calm and empty from the outside, you'll never know there's a cafe unless through word of mouth.

So I walk in reluctantly into this 'house', through the couches and tables, with bibles and missionary books lying around and a tv with gospel music playing ofcourse. Talk about feelin at home, you can just laze around in the couches here, don expect the 'remote' to be urs tho. The menu seemed unexpectedly vast with sandwiches, pastas, lasagna, desserts, juices, and combos of these.

The service is very good, with the waiter even remembering your name, its next to eating at a friend's. But I am not convinced until i taste the bread! and u wud never think that 'food' would be the usp of such a place. But hell it is! The first bite of french fries changed my entire perception. It's the best fries i ve had in years, esp. in India. The veggie sandwich had perfect mayanoise in it to gratify my tongue. The cheese on the lasagna has a lingering taste to it that tickles your tongue for more.

The combo offer was a little confusing tho. It could be more lunch-friendly. Anyways, it has a soup/juice, an entree, fries/bread, juice/icecream. Although, we were a little filled by then already, we made a good decision to order for the speghetti! It was simply perfect! No kidding, but even the strawberry icecream had an extra flavor to it! The juice glasses could've been a bit bigger. As for the price, its not too expensive, totally worth whatever it is.

Ambiance - 4/5

Food - 5/5

Service - 4.5/5

Price - Say 200 to 250 per couple? its a good deal if u take the combo..

Will i go back? - Sure wen i want to grab a bite and have some lone time
