A good English breakfast is about more than eggs and toast. It's the kind of meal that encourages you to slow down, linger over another cup of coffee, and ease into the day. Across Chennai, cafés and hotel dining rooms are serving everything from full fry-ups to Eggs Benedict, making the city a surprisingly good place for anyone craving a classic English breakfast.
