Always a good time here. The food is amazing and there is a place to sit outside. If you love cats then you'll love it because they have domestic cats who are very friendly. The BBQ beef burger is one of the best I've had in the city. You can also pick up any drink you like from the counters and go with your food. Good parking for both two and 4 wheelers. Peaceful place.

Absolutely recommended. ( Must visit at least once if you love continental/western cuisine) Atmosphere : They have really done this place up very well, I don't know what is the best part, the garden in the middle, or the French housing style of pondi or the restaurant cat . Apart from the mosquito problem outdoors ( which really is a shame) , this place is gorgeous. Food: I ordered stake and a barbeque pizza and banana crepe with two drinks , it was very very good , I have had better but this comes close. Service : Its professional ( although I would prefer if they ask what type of cooking the steak needs to be in from the customer) Cost : Its slightly on the higher side but its worth it , absolutely must visit place. Bonus : There is a bakery attached which has high quality and tasty food and lot of imported packaged foods, like a mini Amma Nana store.

Tryst cafe offers some of the most fabulous french cuisines in the city. Their mouth cruchy french fries to yummiest of pastas and sweetest of desserts are must try. The environment offers both indoor and outdoor options which is warm and welcoming. Must visittt and recommended.

One of the best cafes I've visited recently. Every single dish we ordered was perfect. The cafe is very close to Neeelangarai beach on ecr road. Offers decent parking space and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We preferred indoor seating since the outdoor seating area was a bit smelly. Ordered egg Benedict, french toast, couple of vegetarian dishes and some croissants. The cafe has a bakery next to it and you can also get some very fresh breads and croissants. The total bill for five people was 2400.

Fantastic place to have really good food. All the items we ordered tasted great. The seating was very comfortable. We have a 4 yo. She enjoyed waffles, sausages and eggs. Egg sliders, chicken ham omelette were amazing. We went for breakfast. It was early in the morning but the service was on time and commendable. The food was worth the price we paid. The bakery next to the cafe also has a lot of baked options and exported food items.

We had a snack at this evening (30 Aug 2024), ordered Cinnamon French Toast, Pesto Chicken Subway and Grilled Panner Sandwich, it was simply tasted good. Single subway (any veg or non veg) would be more than sufficient for a one person With maple syrup and cream, French toast tasted good! Bill was ₹1030 which I feel worth for the Food served, their service and not forgetting to mention about the Ambiance.

Walked in "by chance" and loved it except the fact that they did not have tea on their menu (agreed it is a cafe but when you have older parents who want to avoid coffee, it helps to have tea).. that being said, our experience was great. Service was wonderful and food brought out hot. Loved the beef quiche. They accept credit cards. Visited again in July 2025 and pleased to say this is one of our preferred hang outs. Pleasant service , great food and calm ambience.

Breakfast catchups here are exotic! The food they serve is delectable and the service is simply too good. We loved the openness of the cafe to do minor tweaks in our food orders - this makes my experience even better. Must visit for the delicious pastries in the cafe nearby. We did have omelets, sautéed vegetables and paneer burji pav. But all I have is a pic of the hot chocolate we had ! 😅

Tryst is one of the best bread makers in town. They have many tasty items, more than what you see in the pictures. The food is always fresh and the service is good. There is a small dine-in area in the shop, and a nice café next door where you can enjoy more. The only drawback is that the entry is not wheelchair-friendly. Overall, a great place for fresh bread and snacks

We recently visited this café and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a lovely place to sit back and enjoy a good meal. Of everything we tried, the dessert we chose (Mango Cheesecake) turned out to be our absolute favourite. Smooth, creamy, and almost pudding-like in texture. It was such a treat and left us thoroughly satisfied. Overall, the place has a great vibe, attentive service, and food that leaves a lasting impression. Definitely worth visiting again.
