Cafe JC's

Sector 10, Chandigarh
Cafe JC's has been the Sector 10 regular's answer to "let's just go somewhere easy" for years, and it still delivers on that.

It is reliable and nobody here is going to ask you to move your dog off the patio chair leg.Editor’s Tip: Don’t let your furry companion miss out on the feast. Cafe JC’s has a dedicated pet menu with treats like Vegetable Stew and Chicken Stew, so make sure you order them their own little meal while you dig into yours.Vibe Check: Dedicated Pet Menu, Insta-Worthy Ambiance, Dedicated Gluten-Free Menu, Frequent Shooting Location, All-Day Breakfast PlattersWhat To Order: London Bridge Fried Fish, Hunan Style Prawn, Apple Crumble
