Dyu Art Cafe

Bringing art, food and beverages under one roof in a beautiful, old bungalow, the Dyu Art Cafe is just as perfect for those lazy afternoons. Renovated to include an upper floor with similar seating, the cafe boasts of an open courtyard, greenery, cemented seats, gabled roof and oxide flooring, much like an old, Kerala-style house. Whether you want to sit back with a book or have a long conversation over cups of coffee, the relaxed ambience is ideal. What’s more, plenty of artworks (by city-based as well as foreign artists exhibited free of charge) all around to gawk at or a shelf of books to pick from while you tuck into the food.

Dyu Art Café looks like an old fashioned Chettinad style house with open courtyard, balcony seating under tiled roofs, spacious built-in benches and loads of greenery inside. The café looks like a modest somber old house from the outside, but as you step in you are welcomed by a large gallery showcasing paintings and caricatures by various artists.
