If you are looking for a day-out with your furry buddy and some delectable delights, you can explore Blue Bridge, in Ballygunge Place (beside South Point High School). Aesthetically designed with a colour palette dominated by blues and yellows, the café that has ensured that your best friend and you don’t feel too ‘blue’ in the city, emanates an old-world charm. Sansa (the rescued retriever) is the star attraction and sunshine of the place. The staff is well equipped to deal with your four-legged (across breeds and even indies) friends. So, while they take care of your pet, you can sip your coffee and enjoy some me time, like reading a book of your choice from the collection at the café. A wholesome menu and a warm atmosphere are perfect for the Calcutta adda. While an open rooftop is a cherry on the cake, pocket-friendly prices is the other highlight. Snapshots.
“Blue Bridge is about connecting people to different cuisines. The colour blue symbolises the vastness of the sky, to which you can have a view from the rooftop we’ve introduced. We want to cater to people with different tastes across segments and ensure people enjoy scrumptious meals at pocket-friendly prices. With live music and events on the weekends and a safe space for your pets to feel free — we’re embarking on a new journey. Sansa, whom I had rescued as a pup, is adorable and helps other dogs socialise, it’s like therapy,” said owner Nilanjan Banerjee who struck a pose with his rescued dog, Sansa.
Sprawling across an area of 3,000sq ft (including the open-sky rooftop), Blue Bridge café emanates a certain positivity. Spacious and aesthetic, it has movie posters, books, and good music.
