Decor
If an open-to-the-sky with no air conditioning and colourful plastic crockery is comfortable for you, there’s a lot to notice in the decor. The entrance focuses on the self service counter along with a wall of fame jazzed up with Audrey Hepburn from "Breakfast at Tiffany". The interiors looks amazing with chequered floors, swings hanging from metal chains as tables, diced shaped small chairs(be careful not to choose them if you are tall:P), a swing chair in one corner,  framed mirror reflections on the wall, and the lovely faux grape vines hanging from the wooden beamed ceiling.

Experience

It was last Saturday that three of my friends and I met up to have lunch at Bon Appétit café in Hazra. To find the eatery itself was a task as it is located in an unassuming corner of a rather confusing and narrow lane on Hazra road. Added to it was the delay we had due to an untimely drizzle. We had planned on that place not only out of curiosity but also because we had indeed been influenced by the rave ratings about their food. The name being the big draw obviously. But I must say I was disappointed on reaching there, for the place was too small and half of the seats too little for people of even the average height.

 Nonetheless, we decided to stay and placed our orders- self help is the only way there, nobody is going to hand you over even a glass of water. Our annoyance with the place strangely melted away on the arrival of the food. Four of us had ordered four different dishes and the first to be served was corn and mushroom pasta. Absolutely filling, the dish was loaded with rich, flavourful spices that tastes amazing too. There was no lack of generosity on the sprinkling of the mushrooms and corn which undoubtedly added to its taste.

Then came the thick, gooey and cheese-filled to the core herbed chicken crepes with mustard sauce. It was followed by the tastiest dish we had that day- chicken and corn crepes with a tangy sauce that could take your heart away. For spice lovers like us both of them were just too delicious, they were accompanied by potato chips as well to give it a perfect crunch. The fourth dish was a very thin crust salami and chilli pepper pizza which was a little too sour for those with no sour tooth, this one seems a little off  the self  but overall

 I could safely give the food 4.9 out of five. All the inconvenience we had on reaching the place or in its seating arrangement was sufficiently covered up with the wholesome and overtly tasty food!

 We ended our meal with the gorgeous chocolate avalanche which consisted of a hot brownie in the middle surrounded by ice cream all around. All of these costed around Rs 760. Such amazing food at this pocket friendly rate- you couldn't ask for more with regards the culinary experience.
