New Garden-Themed Cafe Brings a Taste of Europe to Chennai

Chennai’s culinary landscape continues to evolve, and the latest addition to the city’s vibrant food scene is Café Noci, a garden-themed cafe offering an immersive dining experience with a European touch. Nestled within the bustling Express Avenue Mall, this serene oasis provides a refreshing retreat for food enthusiasts seeking not just great flavors but also an unforgettable ambience.

A Unique Dining Experience

As themed restaurants gain popularity, Café Noci stands out with its open-roof setup, lush greenery, and tranquil atmosphere. A Buddha statue graces the space, enhancing the cafe’s calming aura, while watercooler sprays help combat Chennai’s humid weather, ensuring a comfortable experience for diners. The brainchild of Balachandar Kothandapani, Avnish Sistla, Shirish, Dinesh Jaganathan, and Suhasini Rajaram, Café Noci aims to bridge the gap in authentic European-style cuisine, particularly in breakfast options.

A Menu Curated for All

According to Chef Mothi, the menu at Café Noci caters to a wide range of preferences, including vegan, healthy, and indulgent choices. “Only a handful of restaurants in the city serve authentic English-style dishes, especially for breakfast. We wanted to fill that void by curating a menu that appeals to both health-conscious patrons and those seeking rich, flavorful dishes,” he explains. To aid mindful dining, the menu also includes calorie counts for each dish.

Beyond its carefully crafted meals, Café Noci has gained attention for its specialty coffee. High-end brews prepared using the renowned La Marzocco machine, handled by expert baristas, offer a premium coffee experience to guests.

A Culinary Delight

The food journey at Café Noci begins with flavorful appetizers such as spicy cheese balls with a crispy outer layer and gooey filling, and well-cooked spicy chicken tenders paired with a tangy dip. For health-conscious diners, the falafel wheat pita pockets provide a guilt-free indulgence packed with fresh ingredients.

The main course options include the delectable mushroom en croûte, featuring a flaky pastry covering, and an array of pasta selections. The basil pesto pasta, topped with creamy burrata cheese, offers a comforting blend of flavors. Adding to the experience, guests receive a parmesan cheese cube with a miniature grater to customize their dish.

Dessert lovers will find Café Noci’s innovative creations irresistible. The baklava cheesecake presents a delightful fusion of flavors, while the caramelized peanut mousse tantalizes the taste buds. For a classic yet indulgent finish, the fudgy brownie remains a crowd favorite.

A New Culinary Destination

With its thoughtfully designed ambience and diverse menu, Café Noci is set to become a go-to spot for Chennai’s food lovers. Whether for a casual brunch or a sophisticated dining experience, this garden-themed cafe promises a blend of European elegance and comforting flavors in the heart of the city.
