"The chefs pop out to say hello. This vibe carries across to the neighboring lanes, where an ever-growing list of cafés includes Flurys, which sits inside a turn-of-the-century home with curved balconies, bright pink khorkhoris, and a Parisian-style terrace to become one of the most photographed corners in the neighborhood."
"This iconic Park Street tearoom and bakery was established in 1927 by Swiss expats Joseph and Freida Flury and their compatriot Quinto Cinzio Trinca. It has become one of Kolkata’s most iconic eateries and continues to do brisk business with heritage platters of baked beans on toast and English breakfast. Flurys has expanded its menu over the years, but the original items, marked on the menu, are still the best. Come Christmas, the place is swamped with patrons who queue up for the bakery’s rich, spiced plum cakes. Other must-trys are the inimitable chicken patties (flaky domes of puff pastry packed with minced meat stuffing) and strawberry cubes (crumby sponge layered with buttercream beneath a sugary crust of pink strawberry icing)." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
"A long-running Park Street tea room dating back to 1927 that blends a sleeker, updated menu with enduring traditional pastries and breakfasts; must-tries include decadent chocolate rum balls, almond cube pastries, and light-as-air milk bread used for eggs, toast and sandwiches. The spot produces its own tea blends, is popular enough that patrons often take pastries overseas for homesick relatives, and a window seat is recommended for tea and people-watching on busy Park Street." - SilverKris
