Plate Stories
Every Dish Has A Story
Explore our continental offerings through the lens of their origins, ingredients, and the conversations they inspire.
Chicken Ala Kiev
A French classic, perfected over generations
Born in the imperial kitchens of 19th-century France, refined through Russian aristocracy, and reborn at Cafe Courtyard. Our Chicken Ala Kiev is more than a dish — it is edible history.
Continental Brunch Platter
The best of Europe, served on one plate
Sunday brunch is a continental institution. From Parisian sidewalk cafés to Viennese coffeehouses, the leisurely late-morning meal has always been about more than food — it is about time, and how we choose to spend it.
Handmade Pappardelle
Tuscany on a plate, made fresh every morning
Inspired by a summer in Tuscany, our handmade pasta program brings the soul of Italian countryside cooking to Kolkata. Each ribbon of pappardelle is cut by hand, each ragu simmers for six hours.
Continental Seafood Grill
The coast of Normandy, reimagined in Kolkata
The seafood traditions of Normandy — butter, herbs, and the freshest catch — have always been about celebrating what the sea provides. Our grill brings that reverence to Kolkata, with fish sourced daily from local markets.
Seasonal Risotto
What the season brings, we celebrate
Risotto is a canvas, and the seasons are our palette. In monsoon, wild mushrooms. In winter, butternut squash and sage. In summer, fresh peas and mint. Each version tells the story of a particular moment in time.
Viennese Melange
The coffee that built an empire of ideas
In Vienna, the Melange is not just coffee — it is a way of life. Served with a glass of water and a newspaper, it marks the beginning of a slow, thoughtful morning. At Cafe Courtyard, we bring that Viennese ritual to Kolkata.
Classic Tiramisu
Pick me up, in the most delicious way
Tiramisu means 'pick me up' in Italian, and that is exactly what it does. Born in the Veneto region, this dessert has traveled the world, but its essence remains unchanged — coffee, mascarpone, and a little bit of magic.
Chocolate Fondant
A molten river of dark chocolate perfection
The Chocolate Fondant is a test of precision. Sixty seconds too long in the oven, and it is just a chocolate cake. Sixty seconds too short, and it collapses. In that perfect window, it becomes something transcendent.
