A stone's throw away from the hallowed Eden Garden is Peerless Inn, a hotel that leaves the traveller in Calcutta with a truly memorable taste of Bengali culture.

It's not uncommon to find office-goers and hungry shoppers strolling into the Peerless Inn for a bite all through the day. The hotel has three restaurants, a pastry shop and a bar. Bichitra offers the best of European, Indian and Chinese fare at this restaurant. A live band plays here and will belt out any Hindi number you ask for. At Aaheli, you can savor the flavors of authentic Bengali cuisine. The dessert here is a must-try. Nishidin, the coffee shop, has a delightful buffet. You can indulge your sweet tooth at the Pastry Shop - from almond chocolate to sugar free cakes, this one has it all! Plus, great cocktails put the pep back into the weary Calcutta tourist at Lahari.
