Flurys

Flurys is a heritage tea room and patisserie at 18 Park Street in central Kolkata, West Bengal, India, dating from 1927. It is one of the best-known institutions on Park Street and a long-standing symbol of the city's Anglo-European café culture. It won best bakery and patisserie at the 2026 EazyDiner Kolkata Foodie Awards, according to the site's research, which confirms that it remains a working bakery rather than a museum piece.

The menu is built around breakfast, tea and baked goods. The English breakfast and the Swiss breakfast are the two set breakfasts most often ordered, and the pastry and cake counter is the other main draw, with afternoon tea served in the traditional style. Visitors who want a classic Kolkata morning typically order a breakfast set and tea, while others take away cakes and pastries from the counter. Cuisine here is English tearoom rather than Bengali, and the appeal lies in the historic setting.

The dining room is bright and old-fashioned, with a tea-room character that has changed little in appearance over decades. The mood is relaxed and genteel, and the noise level is moderate except at weekends, when queues form and the room is busy, particularly on Sunday mornings. Service is polite but can slow during rushes. The beverage programme centres on tea and coffee, which suit the room better than anything else on offer.

Prices of roughly 400 to 1,200 rupees per person make it one of the more affordable heritage visits on Park Street. It is open daily, typically from about 7:30AM to 9:30PM, although timings can change around festivals such as Durga Puja. Reservations are not required, and the queue at weekends is the main variable, so weekday mornings and mid-afternoons are the easiest times. It sits close to Peter Cat, Mocambo and Bar-B-Q, which makes it a natural first stop on a Park Street food walk.
