For a community that takes its food as seriously as its politics, Bengalis need to start their day on the right note with a hearty breakfast. When we are not doing adda (discussion) over cha (tea) and football, we are exploring cafes across the city and starting our day right with a piquant English breakfast. Today we are looking at all the best places to grab an English breakfast in Kolkata.
Boasting of a rich culinary history, Kolkata’s history and love affair with food is laced with an amalgam of cultures and cuisines.

From century-old cafes to new ones, here are all the places serving English breakfast in Kolkata.
