The 11 best French restaurants and bistros in Kolkata (Calcutta) (2024)

A beautiful cafe cum store where crafted potteries n stuff is the main attraction. Located near gariahaat this place gives a completely different vibe that you would surely love. Was here with my sisters and in the end, all I can say is Sunday was well spent. The food is very good quality & quantity wise. The beverages rock. Services & hospitality are good too. They also have a cute store where you get real handmade stuff and end up purchasing cute earrings.

I've been visiting this amazing cafe since 2019, and trust me, it has been a revelation since then. The food, the ambience, the kind behaviour of the staff and management have always been superb.I love how the culinary department always keeps on experimenting and inventing new dishes with a touch of Bengal in it.Although many have raised a point regarding the high food pricing, which I do believe is debatable, I believe experiencing premium quality food like this definitely is worth the time and money.Overall, Sienna is a place worth visiting, and also a massive Kudos to them for getting featured in Condé Nast Traveler's List of India's Top 50 restaurants. As a Calcuttan, it's definitely worth feeling proud about.

The ambiance is on point. The effort to be eco conscious is visible and implemented. The staff are conversational, the MUSIC thank god is relevant in terms of being contemporary yet subtle. The food portions are excellent, sharing plates is advised, everything on the menu sounds great! The store has great clothes and home ware and little things you can pick up. Definitely on places to go in Kolkata.

Keywords- cozy, overpriced, satisfactory food and services.Pictures would come good but not mouthwatering food.Very fancy place with not so experienced staff but does the job.Vetki fish fry and chips is the only recommendation, actually it’s the best fry I have ever had.other foods and drinks that we tried are just not even good, keeping the amounts in mind, those drinks and foods are basically 50-60₹ out side.

All I can say is this place is perfect for your Instagram.. You can get some really cool pictures to showcase your profile along with some good food..Though I found the food a little bit overpriced..But overall the ambience won my heart and the staffs are well behaved and courteous..

Sienna is one of the classy & sophisticated cafes of Kolkata. It started as a 'Store' but during the lockdown period it has developed itself into a cafe as well. You'll mainly get different sorts of hand crafted items here. It is situated at Hindustan Park, but you can access it from the Rashbehari Avenue side (opposite lane to Basanti Devi College) and from the Golpark side (before the end of Gariahat Flyover).The food items were phenomenal and absolutely unique. Mainly they serve fusion items! Each and every item was blended with two or more completely different cuisines, which I found very interesting. We ordered Gyoza, Gnocii ar Bonolokkhi Ghee, Macher Dimer XO Rice ( made from Radhatilok Chal), Tonkotsu Ramen & Pauruti Creme Brulee.They have indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to try very unique or experimental fusion food then this is the right place. It's a bit expensive cafe but your experience will be worthy.

Hands down one of the best store-and-cafes in the country, run by a great team of talented, curious and professional individuals–Sienna stands out for its distinctness on all fronts. Excellent curation, fantastic products from Shantiniketan, genuinely local with a global outlook. The food is great, and they even get the smaller things correct (gives a sense of their immaculate attention to detail).While there is no shortage of cafes in the city, Sienna's distinctness stands out due to their uncompromising focus on what they stand for, which reflects clearly in everything they offer. I frequently visit the cafe whenever I'm in the city and love to visit their Jodhpur Park branch, which is also quite inviting and cosy. Highly recommended, Sienna has many fans for the reasons stated above; consider booking a table if you plan to visit.If you're an Art Deco architecture fan, do take a walk around the neighbourhood to see some beautiful buildings after a meal at the cafe :)

Sienna was at the top of my bucket list during my last visit to “amarbhalobasharshohor”. And it turned out to be a prized experience, in ways I never expected.I went there without any company….and I regret it…for not getting to taste more things that a companion would have ordered.But because I was a solo diner, I got served in their “Baranda” (verandah) which elevated my experience surprisingly to the next level.I was met by a waiting staff (sadly can’t remember his name) who was unassumingly knowledgeable about the menu and patiently helped me when I became a damsel in distress unable to choose what I should try from their bazaar specials.I ordered:- Deshi Dim’er raviolo with black truffle and peyanj koli: The best raviolo I’ve eaten so far- Pot roast with maangsho’r jhol inspired sauce served w/ Yorkshire pudding: Yes…Yorkshire pudding in a Barandah…i teared up and I kid you not.The price point might come across a little expensive to some. But is worth every penny spent…and is unlike the many pretentious low quality neighbouring cafés.Concluding: A place I will never mind returning to, again and again.

I feel this place is both overhyped and overpriced. The ham and cheese sandwich was so dry and even the bacon pasta didn't taste good. The peach lime iced tea was really good. On weekends you've to wait for a table. It's good for a one-time visit and the store is really nice with a good collection of souvenirs. But in terms of food think there are plenty of better and budget friendly options nearby.

Sienna Store and Cafe was in my bucket list for a long time and so visited this place few months back.Visited this cafe on a Sunday, so there was a huge crowd and line and required to wait for 45mints to get a table.Tried their weekend special ramen bowl and coffee.Ramen bowl was tasty and soup was soothing.The place is overall aesthetic and photogenic but not that spacious.

Sienna has the vibes, the food and the charm. Upon arriving, it was a little hectic with trying to get a table. The hostess was moving around a lot, on calls, dealing with delivery orders and dealing with customers. But eventually we were able to get a table and we weren’t disappointed with the food at all. We ordered the duck leg confit, Xmas roast with pork belly and honey glazed ham and the makha sondesh. All dishes were absolutely delicious. It felt warm, cozy and like I was enjoying a home cooked meal from grandma. I can’t say much negative about this place except that it does take quite a while for the food to be served. BUT the positive side of that is it is WORTH THE WAIT. I can’t take off any points for that, the food alone is simply that good.

This is legit a world class culinary experience on par with many Michelin restaurants globally. Highlighting traditional Bengali flavors with an ultra-modern twist, Auroni Mookerjee has managed to perfect not only an amazing postmodern take on what fusion cooking is, but also keeping his eye on the flavors and textures that make this probashi Bengali's heart and palate happy.

We went there by seeing their previous menu which we found interesting but they have changed their menu and we felt really disappointed. And also the taste of the food we ordered were average.

One of the most quality cafes have found in kolkata. This is a cafe cum boutique store. Their rustic chic appearance would catch your eyes for sure.Totally blown by their ambience and food definitely. They have variety and each item is made with care.

This place holds a special charm. I went there with my mother for a delightful dinner, and both of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thanks to the incredibly friendly staff and the warm, familial ambiance. Now, let's talk about the food.The mushroom, parmesan, and Gobhindobog black rice risotto was among the best I've ever tasted. It easily rivals the finest risottos served in any trattorias in New York City. The roasted pumpkin soup was hearty, and the avocado toast was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of pumpkin seeds and arugula. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we're looking forward to returning with more family and friends.

Visited in Nov 2023Had to visit Sienna during my trip to Kol since they were ranked the #5 restaurant in India by Conde Nast Traveller. Overall I felt that this is a very good cafe (good food, decent service, nice vibe) but #5 in India may be a stretch. The dumplings were really nice and I’d recommend folks to def try that out. I also liked the pork belly noodle bowl. The drinks menu is also pretty exhaustive and the coffee was decent.Would definitely recommend folks to visit this chic cafe as the vibe and food is pretty good, but temper your expectations if you’ve had meals at the other top 50 places in the CN Traveller list.

There are not enough words to articulate how impressive Sienna is in the Kolkata food scene. You can tell they really mean business, and so much care and attention goes into the place. One of my two favorite restaurants in the country (the other being Bombay Canteen). The menus (that change weekly as well as the regular menu) are meticulous, thoughtful, intelligent fusion with the freshest of ingredients and executed with flawless technique. Have never had a mediocre meal here, always exceptional, always surprising.

Fabulous is the first word that came to my mind when I let my taste buds enjoy the food on offer here. It takes enormous amount of skill, loads and loads of imagination, unwavering courage and above all an unmeasurable amount of love for the craft of cooking to come up with this end result. They overhaul the whole menu twice every week, as claimed by the nice guy who served us. I had seen the chef Koyel Roynandi in one of the popular youtube channel's show. Now I am of the opinion she must be celebrated.In addition I used their stable wifi connection and power connectivity to get a half days office work done from there without any hindrance (apart from the distraction cause by the enormously impressive food off course 😀)

Nice small and cosy place. Has a small variety item boutique store at the front and a special café at the back. This review is about the cafe which is quite different. It’s not big capacity cafe, is a tiny one but the food will make you come again. Very differently curated menu which has a weekly changing menu along with a constant menu. The weekly menu is very innovative and the chef’s mastery is evident in it. The service is fast as well. You can spend good time here with some very differently crafted food. Please visit to enjoy it, you won’t be disappointed for sure.Personal reco: Must try Risotto with black rice mushroom and add on chicken.
