The arrival of summer brings with it a golden delight that reigns supreme across Indian kitchens and hearts – the mango. Juicy refreshing mangoes are here to rescue us from the scorching heat this summer! At Taj Coromandel, Chennai, the team of Chefs led by Area Pastry Chef, Ravi Varma, has created magical treats with the season’s choicest mangoes at La Patisserie and Anise, while the expert bartenders at Chipstead have crafted refreshing mango-inspired cocktails.
At La Patisserie, the city’s iconic Cake Shop & Delicatessen, the mango takes centre stage in an exquisite array of handcrafted desserts and cakes. Sink your spoon into the Fresh Mango Tart, a delicate creation, or indulge in the rich and creamy Mango Baked Cheesecake. For a delightful twist, try the Mango Choux Puff or the Fresh Mango and Mascarpone Pastry, each bite a celebration of flavours. The cakes are no less inviting – from the luscious Fresh Mango Gateaux to the delicious Mango Coconut Cream Cake and the indulgent Mango Red Velvet Cake, there’s a treat for every mango lover.
Anise, the all-day dining restaurant at Taj Coromandel, also joins the celebration with an indulgent spread of mango-inspired desserts. Guests can savour Coconut & Mango Pudding, creamy Mango Leches, delicious Mango Shrikhand, and rich Mango Basundhi. And for those who simply love mangoes, fresh-cut mango served with ice cream makes for the perfect finish. These mango delights are also available at Chipstead, the stylish bar at the hotel, offering the perfect pairing of sweet indulgence and spirited celebration.
Adding to the mango magic, Chipstead introduces a refreshing line-up of mango cocktails that are perfect for summer evenings. Sip on the Tropical Blaze, a bold mix of tequila, mango purée, bell pepper and lime juice; or try the tangy Dry Mango Martini made with gin, dry mango, raw mango purée, more milagai and lime juice. The Raw Mango Mule brings together vodka, raw mango juice, chaat masala and ginger ale, while the Mango Colada blends rum, mango purée, mango juice, rose syrup and fresh cream. For a soothing finish, there’s Pulp of Bliss – a smooth combination of vodka, mango purée, basil leaf and lime juice.
Celebrate summer, celebrate mangoes, in the most delicious way possible with us at Taj Coromandel, Chennai!
