We co-cordially invite you for an experiential tour of ‘Food & Beverage’ outletito join us in celebrating our inaugural Culinary Competition.
Kindly consider this as an official invitation for the ‘Hyatt Culinary Challenge’.
An initiative conducted by Hyatt hotels to engage with people who are passionate about cooking.
The passionate foodie in me was very delighted to find the above email invitation last week. This was followed by a telephonic invitation too and I found myself with some other Bloggers and Social Media influencers in Hyatt Regency Kolkata.
This was my second visit to Hyatt Regency Kolkata and unlike my first visit that was for a Software Conference, I got to spend more time this time.
We got to experience the Hyatt hospitality. The close-knit team made us feel very comfortable as they took us around for the experiential tour. We observed that apart from great food, Hyatt Regency Kolkata has aesthetic interiors. Needless to say, we went click-happy!
It was amazing to find 80 labels of wine with the wine cellar on display!
I loved the Bakery section with so many pastries, cakes, fresh bread etc.

Hyatt Regency Kolkata has three main restaurants-
- La Cucina
- Guchhi
- Waterside Cafe
We started with the La Cucina, the only authentic Italian restaurant of Kolkata. It had won the Indo Italian Chamber Award. Delicacies like Pizza with Parma ham, Caesar salad bar, warm potato salad and plenty more are available in the Buffet.
We saw the Black Truffle, a mushroom native to France. Dogs are used to sniff and identify it. At Rs 17,000 a Kilo, Truffle is pretty expensive.
Waterside Cafe is the All Day Dining Restaurant that is open for 24 hours, with menus that are varied.
Hyatt Regency Kolkata has a cool display. I liked this one with so many musical instruments and show -pieces.

Hyatt Regency Kolkata's Indian Restaurant, Guchhi, is a la carte. A sumptuous range of Indian food where the menu offers many dishes like Mutton Rezala & Makai Mutter Malai.
Guchhi |
Guchhi has been named after a mushroom of the same name.

We got to sample a starter made of Guchhi & the famous specialty- Guchhi Dal.
The aroma and taste was distinct.
The Veg & Non-Veg starters were too good as was the main course.
