Alfresco
Kolkata’s alfresco dining scene has quietly redefined how the city eats, trading enclosed banquet halls for breezy terraces, leafy courtyards and riverside decks where the humid air mingles with the sizzle of hilsa on cast-iron pans; from heritage club gardens serving Anglo-Indian chops to rooftop microbreweries infusing craft ales with gondhoraj lime, these open-air restaurants merge Bengal’s seasonal ingredients with panoramic views of the Hooghly, proving that India’s culinary capital tastes even better under a canopy of monsoon clouds or fairy-lit winter skies.
