There’s a special thing about Kolkata- the City of Joy. 7 out of 10 people are foodies here, and like to explore different cafes, or restaurants to experience new flavours!
The main reason behind this lies in the city’s diverse food culture. Right from the streetside Phuchkas and Papri Chats to cafes, and grand fine diners that serve multi-cuisine dishes, Kolkata’s culinary options are remarkably diverse!
And when it comes to multi-cuisine restaurants and cafes in Kolkata, the first place that I think of is Park Street! As a food-lover myself, I’ve explored an array of culinary options. However, Park Street is incredibly special, and close to my heart, not because of the iconic establishments, but the vibrant ambience, and unique charm that permeates the whole street!
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I am a passionate gastronome and food blogger based in Kolkata, and today I’ll help you find some of the best restaurants in Park Street, Kolkata where you can indulge in an immersive culinary experience!
Some Must-Try Restaurants in Park Street, Kolkata
Before I start listing out the options, let me tell you something. I’ve not included those iconic establishments in this list of mine! Because firstly, everyone knows about them, so there’s no point in highlighting those options.
And secondly, I wanted to share some of my personal favourite places, so that you get to know what new places to try in Park Street!
Pa Pa Ya
If you’re a fan of Asian cuisine, Pa Pa Ya Modern Asian Bistro is one of the must-visit places! The place is well-known to revolutionise and contemporise Asian cuisines using molecular gastronomy– a modern culinary technique. A menu that includes the finest Asian delicacies, tagged along with your favourite drinks, is sure to add up and create an immersive dining experience to tantalize your palate!
AB’s- Absolute Barbecues
Have you heard of ‘tabletop grilling?’ It’s an interesting concept where each table consists of a built-in grill. You will be served your favourite choice of meat, seafood, or vegetables on skewers. The interesting part- you have to grill your own dish. It’s a contemporary form of self-service, in a new way!
From lip-smacking kebabs to soulful plates of seafood, and refreshing mocktails to complement every dish, AB’s can offer you the most unique and satisfying experience where you can be the chef of your own table!
The Street
What if you’re in a light-snacking mood, and want to visit the best cafe in Kolkata to satisfy your palate?
Well, nothing surpasses the street-style menu of The Street, a unit of The Park Hotels, Kolkata. From the famous papri chaat to kababs, hot dogs, and a range of other fried delicacies, enjoy your favourite dishes along with your favourite drink, and experience Kolkata’s street-food culture with a contemporary twist at the best cafe in Park Street, Kolkata.
Ping’s Cafe Orient
Another place for the best Pan-Asian delicacies, Ping’s Cafe Orient is all about presenting a symphony of flavours to your palate in a casual dining ambience.
Explore a variety of the most delectable sushi, salads, and desserts here! What’s best is that the restaurant has enough space to accommodate large groups. So, you can easily plan a team lunch, or book a table to treat your friends group here! The soothing music, paired with the relaxed ambience, and mouth-watering dishes makes it one of the best places for lunch in Kolkata.
Zen
Finally, it’s time to appreciate the finer things in life! I truly believe that you must try fine dining sometimes just to experience and appreciate culinary arts!
Zen, a unit of The Park Hotels, Kolkata, is hands down one of the best fine-dining restaurants in Kolkata that lets you experience food artistry at its finest! With a minimalistic decor exuding an elegant atmosphere, their specialty lies in authentically sourced ingredients imported from their region of origin. Each of the dishes served here are treat to the eyes, and the palate, and can effectively take your dining experience to the next level!
Wrapping It Up
As a passionate food blogger with my roots planted firmly in the City of Joy, I’m very much proud to be a part of the diverse culinary culture that makes Kolkata a global sensation! Although the iconic restaurants of Park Street like Mocambo, Peter Cat, Barbeque Nation, or Flurys are worth visiting, I aim to focus on the often-overlooked places that offer equally diverse and delectable cuisines for the discerning palate!
