darjeeling is my favorite summer getaway and it's never truly complete without a visit to glenary's and keventers!
glenary's is a three storied eatery located at chauk bazaar, darjeeling. there is a beautiful cafe cum bakery in the basement and ground floor. the first floor consists of a luxurious dining area that has both indoor and outdoor seating.
i have visited this place many times and of the many things i've tried my favorite are-
1. chocolate tart------ recommended! a perfectly baked tart with a lovely smell of butter, coated with chocolate and filled with the smoothest chocolate ganache!
they cost rs.50 each.
i wish i could find these in kolkata too! 😭❤️
2. chocolate roll----- a crispy wafer roll, filled with whipped cream and coated in chocolate.
3. croissant------ recommended!! the softest, fluffiest croissants i've ever had, made with ample quantities if butter.
4. paris brest----- choux pastry with a filling of smooth coffee cream! tastes quite good.
5. cheese pie------ not the best one i've had but tastes good nonetheless.
6. apple pie----- it tastes best when warm.
7. sausage and bacon pizza----- recommended! they put generous quantities of cheese, sausage and bacon on top. one is enough for 2-3 people.
cost for two: rs.300-400
this bakery was established during the british colonial days and the ambience here gives you a feel of the yesteryears. the iconic red telephone booth stands in the middle of the hall,
; an antique coin register, small coffee tables add to the beauty. the staff is polite but the service is a bit slow as this place is usually very busy throughout the day.
this place is etched as a part of my memories of darjeeling and i can't wait to go back and indulge in more of this amazing food. 💞
