Pergola

Dining out in Chennai has a unique edge over all other metropolitan cities. It’s stunning coastal line and a breezy cool weather makes al fresco dining a whole lot fun. Combine that with a mixed view of tall skyscrapers and old-fashioned southern abodes to get a breath-taking picture. Al fresco dining is much sought after by the locals who like to take advantage of the coastal weather constantly. Judging by the demand, many restauranteurs tapped into the market by launching various outdoor restaurants and pubs.
