The city has quietly built a whole calendar of food-drinks events that locals actually plan their week around. Right now you have 444 people already signed up for tastings, brunches, walks, and workshops, which tells you everything about how seriously this city takes its plate. At the hotel end of the spectrum, Koox at Novotel Chennai in Nandanam is the familiar favorite. The Sunday Brunch Table there pulls in the “I like my meal with an elevator ride and a good view” crowd. Over at Food Exchange, Royal Kebabs & Biryani Nights lean into what Chennai does best, long tables, big platters, and zero shame about that second serving of rice. These are the food-drinks events in Chennai you book when you want to dress up a little but still eat like you are at a family function. If you care more about stories than star ratings, the Madras Food Walk in Chennai is where the real fun is. You follow a local through streets that do not show up on tourist guides, hit tiny counters and older joints, and get a crash course in why this city is obsessed with its food. It is loud, slightly chaotic, and full of that “I am so glad someone else ordered for me” relief. Exactly the kind of thing locals pretend they are too cool for, then secretly recommend to everyone. Then there is the make-it-yourself side of the scene. Reema's Swad Cooking Classes in Chennai, the Waffle Making Workshop, and the Doughnuts & Bombolini Workshop are for people who want to stop just posting their meals and actually learn how to pull them off. It is hands-on, flour everywhere, questions flying, and you leave with recipes, badly taken phone notes, and at least one new friend. Add in chilled hangouts like Picnic and one-off concepts like Taste of Tamilakam, and you start to see the pattern. The best food-drinks in Chennai are the ones that turn eating into an excuse to meet people. Here is where to start: Picnic Waffle Making Workshop Doughnuts & Bombolini Workshop The Sunday Brunch Table at Koox, Novotel Chennai Nandanam Taste of Tamilakam Royal Kebabs & Biryani Nights at Food Exchange Madras Food Walk: Chennai Reema's Swad Cooking Classes: Chennai ## Food & Drinks Events in Chennai - **Event Name**: Foodpro Chennai 2026 - **Description**: Southern Region is proud to announce the 16th edition of Foodpro 2026, a premier initiative dedicated to the advancement of Food Processing and Food Technology.Foodpro has evolved into a trusted platform connecting - **Interested Audience**: - Count: 24 - Avatar: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLrbFmRq-t0I_wj_Cnhr5J5YcOe7K8Utq4-sLFCwyTHWyOlEPy7=s96-c?sz=200 - Avatar: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLn8bX6Y3JpIuI4KsBqIU9pmgOf2MvQHJVUU03GzRBptckdkg=s96-c?sz=200 - Avatar: https://platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com/platform/profilepic/?asid=1371566699527013&height=100&width=100&ext=1722940396&hash=AbZLz7WWp-Ofuo0n3wYN0X85 - **Date**: Fri Aug 07 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun Aug 09 2026 at 06:00 pm (+05:30) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chennai/foodpro-chennai-2026-tickets/80002905584321 - **Venue**: Chennai Trade Centre - **Banner**: https://cdn-ip.allevents.in/s/rs:fill:500:250/g:sm/sh:100/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4yLmFsbGV2ZW50cy5pbi90aHVtYnMvdGh1bWI2OWEyYzIyZDk2MzI1LmpwZw.avif - **Price**: Free - **Event Name**: Chennai Social and Language Exchange (Make New Friends) ✨ - **Description**: Want to meet new people?
