With the growing number of folks getting hooked to motorcycling & cycling, motorcycle/bicycle ride for breakfast over the weekend has become ‘The Weekend Thing to do’ than laze around or meet up for a brunch in the city.
For me, the perfect ride has always been the one that ends with good food!! Presenting the 5 best South-Indian breakfast getaways from my beloved city.
