A GASTRONOME’S DELIGHT

Indian, Pan-Asian, Mexican, Continental, Italian, Fusion…

Foodies in Coimbatore are known to travel long distances, if only to sample the best rasamrice or biryani in town. Adding to their sense of adventure is that they don’t have to leave the city to sample the world’s kitchens, be it Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Italian, American or Pan-Asian. But the best food in Kovai is the local finger-licking good South Indian fare: idlis, dosas, utthappam, rice, sambar, rasam and yoghurt either served on a sparkling stainless-steel plate or a banana leaf. And the must-have Madras Filter Coffee which is the best concoction to fill you with vigour and vivre! There is lots more of typical dishes to be savoured... payasam, kootu, koozh, puttu... go on this culinary journey of joy!

Safe & superb Sunday Brunch!

WITH HEARTY WORLD CUISINES, LIVE STATIONS, FUN AND FROLIC AT LATEST RECIPE, LE MERIDIEN

BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

The first hotel in Coimbatore to bring the concept of Sunday Brunch to the city is back in action with all safety measures in place for a fun-filled family outing.

Le Meridien Coimbatore’s Latest Recipe Sunday Brunch has long been a popular Sunday activity for the foodies in town. It’s a wonderful way for you to bond with your loved ones outside with delicious food in different world cuisines to suit everyone’s individual tastes. You can treat your family with plenty of good food, fun and enjoyment in a safe environment. After all these months of staying home indoors, they will love you for the change.

Enjoy hearty fare with Mini Sunday Brunch, authentic world cuisines, many live food counters with fresh sizzling pizzas, dosas, eggs, pastas, Indian breads and more tossed up right before your eyes, buffets with lots to choose from in veg and non-veg and served by masked staff to ensure safety and avoid intermingling of guests.

Sunday Brunch at Latest Recipe starts

from 12 noon and goes on till 3.30pm. More emphasis is now on live stations though the standard buffet format is also there, featuring Continental, Chinese, Thai, Italian and other world cuisines and of course all the favourite dishes of North Indian and South Indian cuisines, for a wholesome and fulfilling experience.

The pizza and pasta stations at the Sunday Brunch are hugely popular with youngsters, along with eggs freshly cooked to your choice, crispy hot dosas, fresh off-thetawa rotis and parathas, appams and more. Apart from these on rotational basis, on some Sundays there are live counters dishing out hot pav bhaji, chaats and many scrumptious Punjabi dishes in veg and non-veg.

Le Meridien is a zero quarantine guests hotel, following 100% safety guidelines and protective measures to ensure an absolutely safe dining experience, with staff well-trained to practise all proper protocol while serving guests.
