Chapter 2, the retro dine den in Mani Square, is soaking in the festive spirit of Oktoberfest — a festival held in Munich, Germany, during autumn — with traditional German delicacies, offers on beer and Bavarian folk music. While one of the main features of the festival is drinking endless mugs of beer, Chapter 2 is set to host the festival, in association with Mercedes-Benz, with a focus on food.
“We wanted to give Calcuttans a taste of scrumptious German food with music and beer. Everything from flavoured versions of bubbling mugs and some meaty delights, we promise to take you on a gastronomic journey,” said Shiladitya Chaudhary and Debaditya Chaudhury, partners, Chapter 2.
