8) Bungalow Boutiques and Cafes (Chennai) –

Bungalow Boutiques and Cafes are very contrasting to the hyper busy city of Chennai. These places score a 6/10 on the Trendometer. People visit these joints to chill out, sit back, relax and talk their hearts out. A few places here where you can be you, especially if you like casual dressing, are - Ode Gallery Cafe at Neelankarai, Kipling and Shiraz Cafe on East Coast Road, Amethyst at Royapettah and Anokhi's Eco Cafe on Chamiers Road. The best part is the warmth that people get in these places despite appearances. So, this kind of heat is always welcome. These places are primarily populated by casual shoppers, people returning home from offices and weekend lovers. Though these joints are majorly used for eating and talking, still, the crowd keeps on visiting. The apparels of these places are the rage with the people of Chennai. Happily Unmarried and Chumbak are the favourite brands of the localites. Kipling sells handmade furniture to the busy—bodies of Chennai. The only entity that draws attention away from the cafes and boutiques of Chennai are its beaches. An evening for a couple for a couple comes quite cheap for only 800 to 900. So, grab your travelling kits and make for these serene places.
