From toddy-inspired cocktails to fig-stuffed dhoklis, this new restaurant delivers an immersive dining experience
-
IF YOU'RE SOMEONE who believes that food is poetry kissed by flame, then Chennai's newest culinary destination, Firo, is sure to stir your senses. Nestled in the heart of the city, where the lounge bar The Velveteen Rabbit was, this stylish restaurant and cocktail bar offers more than just a meal, but a warm embrace in every bite.
When we visited earlier this week for a tasting, we were still nursing a cold. But the warmth of the welcome from owner Ashish Thadani, quickly lifted our spirits. Soon after, Tanya, who has curated a cocktail menu replete with intriguing stories in a glass, introduced us to the restaurant's distinctive beverage philosophy.
At our request, she brought over a toddy-inspired creation that was "not-so-toddy." The first sip of the warm concoction was just what we needed. It soothed our throats and primed our palates for the culinary journey ahead.
