baker street, the french delicacy concept store inpondicherryisn’t popular namesake. the place actually delivers some stellar baked goods that is world class, if not fabulously french.
the menu of this indoor cafe is a mix of french sweet and savoury goodies, ranging from baguette sandwiches, croissants, eclairs, macaroons, burgers, pizza, quiche, and much more.
i was overwhelmed with the items on display and could not decide what to have and what not to.
after much thought, i decided to pack a creamy chicken baguette sandwich, some decadent chocolate eclairs, a mixed bag of french macaroons, to go. we reached chennai that evening and reserved these for our dinner.
the chicken baguette sandwich was a deliciously made creamy chicken generously spread on the mini baguette slice, with some lettuce for crunch. it was absolutely delicious, with the hard baguette competing with the superbly well made creamy chicken chunks, a must try.
the chocolate eclair was a decadence in every bite, creamy, chocolatey, slightly eggy, but a marvellous dessert, another must try.
the macaroons were okay, a decent version, probably i expected a little more than what wifey makes at home.
we duck pick up some jabs with interesting combinations like apple cinnamon, again a must recommend to pick up a few.
what was not so pleasant was the non-french cafe ambience, the crowd and the staff, who were doing too many things than focusing on one customer at a time.
overall #apjprecommends baker street heavily as a must visit inpondicherry
definitely coming back to try their wide menu in both savoury and decadent desserts, and you must too
