Croissant among top 5 'best breakfasts' in the world: Best Delhi-NCR reccos to relish the French delicacy!
Nothing like a hot, flaky croissant — sprinkled with almonds, doused in chocolate, stuffed with cold cuts and greens, dripping in butter...just go grab a bite!
As it goes with their very exciting, globe-trotting monthly lists, Taste Atlas recently put out a meticulously-ranked list of the 'top 50 best breakfasts' in the world. The Turkish Kahvalti topped the list with its warm spread of flavours. India too, featured not once but a total of thrice on the list — with the Marathi Misal coming in at the 18th spot, the versatile paratha coming in at the 23rd spot and punch-packing Punjabi chole bhature ranking at the 32nd spot.
A rather familiar warm and toasty treat however, finished at spot 5 — the croissant! French in origin but honestly a culturally-reinforced global food group, these are the top spots across Delhi-NCR (as curated by the Paper Board Delhi) serving up the best croissants. Warm or cold, sweet or savoury, classic or overloaded, there's always something for everyone.
