Ecstacy of Gold - The Ennio Morricone of French Pastry !

When you first walk in through the Automated Glass doors of this Classy dessert parlour, You experience the same Elation as a person who stumbles upon a Gold Mine! Because this Elegant Sleek Manor is Indeed a Phenomenal catch in Chennai! A Place so Ostentatious, that it makes most Palates feel out of Place, even in the finest of Attire. It is too good to be true.
There can only be a handful of diners that can match or even be compared to its level of Flamboyance! (Except maybe, for Souza Lobo, which as i have stated earlier, is a Class Apart, a Prized Jewel in the Restaurant World). Ecstacy, however, is in a  Sparkling League of its own and does give it fine competition in an Emphatic duel, Trading swords for dishes and matching blow for blow, dessert for dessert! Ecstacy and Souza Lobo may well be two of the finest eat outs I have ever visited as far as my sweet tooth is concerned. But they are both Unique and Exquisite in their own way, and fun as it seems, it would be Unfair to compare the two.
Ecstacy brings to Chennai, the finest creations of French Pastry Kingpin Mickael Besse! This Celebrity Chef's masterpieces work wonders on your palate the same way that Legendary Italian Composer Ennio Morricones music soothes your ears, and the Great Michaelangelo's Paintings calm your eyes! I remember first dining at Ecstacy when it first opened for a Free tasting but at 14, I was too young to appreciate its value. Today, Ecstacy is the Favourite Haunt of the Dashing and Classy, eager for a taste of French pastry making at it's very best. Flak, a slice of dainty chocolate pastry served with the richest chocolate ice cream to ever touch my palate, compliments the flavour of the cake with a little moisture. The Belgian Hot Chocolate is Rich and delicious, like Willy Wonka's River of Chocolate and the Ghana half cooked is a Fondue to Die for! Prepare yourself for an Exotic Explosion of Sweet Savoury flavours swimming in your mouth because Ecstacy is exactly what Dreams are made of! Cheers :D

Tasty Jones - Revisited and Tastier than Ever!

The Big Boy Burger is Better than Ever! No Longer called the George BinLaden for Obvious reasons, It is double the delight and as good as it can get. Coupled with their pepper fries, sausages and their Special secret sauce ( A light creamy whisked variation of mayonnaise), Tasty Jones, An Outlet of the Pupil group of Restaurants is The Place to Go for any one in Chennai and it definitely gives the Acclaimed Bangalore Burgers a run for their Money! Cheers :D

Tuscana Pizzeria - "When Chennai meets Venice"

Few Restaurants manage to bring out that Rustic Authenticity in their food and manner, the way that Tuscana does. Easily one of the Top favourite and Hottest Eat outs in the City, Tuscana would make even the Sicilian Mafia swell with Pride. There is a Rustic Charm to their food, the creations of World Famous New Zealand Chef Willie! Coupled with a Cosy homely ambiance, Tuscana is without doubt the Perfect Pad for your Dates and Dinners. I was first taken to Tuscana by two of my closest friends, Nithin and Rizam, Food lovers who promised me that I wouldn't be dissapointed. We ordered the Pepperoni and Chicken Pizza! However, the crowning glory for me which defined a Good restaurant from a Great one is when the waiter realised that he had given us a wrong sized Pizza and gave us another smaller Pizza on the House! Talk about Service par Excellence! The Pepperoni Pizza was a Wood Fire Masterpiece, carefully crafted, more by an artist than a chef. Topped with generous amounts of pepperoni and cheeze powder, It is a Tribute to Italy's favourite Meal, A Symbol of their Culture and Cuisine and a Delight for Pizza Lovers! The Staff are Friendly and the Experience is Amazing, However, with the Ultimate Price being paid by your Wallet, that looks a lot slimmer than you, before you first walked in  :P The Prices are expensive....But Like they say....There are Somethings that Money Can't Buy! and Perfect Bliss is one of them! This Chennai Diner gives you just that! Sayonara Mamacita!

Souza Lobo's - Its Sucrose Overdose in Dessert Heaven!

Comfort Food for a Good cause, Souza Lobo's is like Home Away from Home! It is a Class Apart from the Rest and serves up some of the best delicacies I have ever tasted! Standing on the Golden Shores of Calangooti Beach, Souza Lobo's is the Perfect Retreat for beach lovers, Frolicking in the Sun to enjoy some favourite Goan delicacies as well as Finish their meal on a High with their Classic Home made desserts. Souza Lobos is One of a Kind. We Ordered their Calamari Butter Garlic, and were Blown Away! I must have had 15 Plates of Calamari in Restaurants all over Goa but I can say without any Doubt that Souza Lobo stirred up a storm in my stomach! We Also ordered Goan Sausage masala which was quite different but quintessential of Goan Cuisine! Do not Miss out on an opportunity to go Parasailing, because Calangooti Beach is one of the best beaches for Water Sports in Goa! Like Brittos, The Beachside Ambiance is Breath taking but Astonishingly, It is not nearly as Good as their Alpine Chocolate Cake! The Black bottom chocolate mousse is also Amazing! As the Blue Ocean kisses the setting Orange Sun, It is the perfect diner to enjoy a Serene meal in a city created by God himself, and a Restaurant that even the Almighty would be Proud to dine at! Dont Miss this for anything in the World!

Brittos on Baga - "Smitten by The Sea"

My First Trip to Goa was preceded by Expectations of the Highest Level. Never before had I anticipated a trip so much and I was in Sheer Disbelief that after hearing People Rave about how Insanely Beautiful Goa is, for months, I was finally about to experience Paradise for myself! A few words about Goa... It is a tribute to Nature, A Cultural and Natural Paradise.....In other words, Heaven on Earth in every sense of being! A trip to Goa is Surreal and will blow your mind away! But apart from the Beaches and its Majestic Grandeur,  There was another reason I loved Goa. Its Magnificent FOOOOD! Goa is the Ultimate Foodie Destination with Menus that Dreams are made of ! And like my good friend Varun likes to remind me...I turned into a Mean Food Machine! Consuming Plate after Plate of Calamari and Nutella Pancakes and Achieving Legendary food feats, otherwise only observed on Man vs Food!....Readers Beware.....and Do Prepare for Epic Meal Time!

Brittos is a Symbol of Excellence! It portrays King sized food making at its Best! Brittos brings out the warmth and spirit of the Lovely People of Goa in their dishes. Their Portions are large and the beachside ambiance is to Die for. We ordered a Sea food Platter and a Non veg Platter and the mere sight of it was enough to give Varun a Foo-gasm! :P We were served with the most incredibly delicious, colourful, and mouth watering variety of every kind of marine animal you can imagine! Their Stuffed crab, mussels and prawn cocktail was special and left us with a craving that none have managed to sattisfy till date! A Must Visit if you happen to go to Goa! Cheers :D
