Fishermen's cove

The best place in Chennai for food and a weekend chill out off the hectic city. Fishermen's cove is part of the Taj hotel group, which is recognized for their excellent service.

I have personally experienced their outstanding service in several occasion, where they organized entry tickets to events, which were sold out for a long time. THANK YOU.

Fishco (abbreviation for insiders), which offers a variety of facilities and restaurants, is a hang out place for expats on the weekends. Especially their brunch on Sundays in their main restaurant is full of foreigner, who enjoy the great mix of Indian and continental food and friendly atmosphere with their families. As this place is getting crowded it is advisable to make a reservation 24 hours before.

A unique scenery served with continental food provides the "Upper Deck" restaurant. They do Sunday brunch as well, which is more expensive, but you have fresh sea food in the open air close to the sea.

On Friday evenings the Fishco does barbeques at the beach mainly with seafood and steaks and while enjoying the dinner you can have your feet relaxed in the sand.

My kids love their air conditioned tent, where they can play with toys and games. Unfortunately the selection is rather old, used and poor for my taste, but still it is a weekend highlight for them.

In addition they offer a spa, fitness club, beach and a swimming pool, but they are very particular about non hotel guests NOT using their facilities. To overcome this burden they offer a membership for which all the facilities can be used even for non hotel guests.

In the near past they started to overprice their services and a regular brunch comes for around 20 USD and with seafood around 35 USD, which is unbeaten in Chennai.

But still... a phantastic place to hang out on a Sunday evening with your families.
