If you’re a true foodie based in Lahore, you must have heard
of and tried Freddy’s Café, located on the most happening street of the city,
that too numerous times. Now I don’t want to go into lousy details of the
ambiance, the courtesy of the waiters and the service etc. because those are
top notch here. I just want to talk about the food I tried.
We ordered 3 things from the menu on this last trip to the
café, starting with a salad. You must be wondering why. Mainly because I
couldn’t ignore the salad bar as I was passing by to get to my table inside. Sent
my sister to make the salad and she came back with the most tempting things on
the platter. It had chicken and was all saucy. Wouldn’t be fabricated if I said
it was Christmas in my mouth, the moment I took my first bite.

Freddy’s Special Burger was another delight. The bread was
not stuffed with meat, neither it only filled with veggies and minimal meat; it
was just the way I like it, although some carnivorous beasts [no offense please
;)] would disagree.
I also HAD TO try something from the ‘Chef’s Recommended’
menu at Freddy’s Café (I usually do) and my instant pick was Chicken Bonne Femme
of course. Quite obvious that I love French [the language ;) men too I suppose].
Yeah I’ve taken and cleared the first module of the language during my exchange
year in the US and I was one of the favorites of my teacher. :D *nostalgic
here* Alright enough bragging there. Coming back to the chicken! So it came
with amazingly aromatic saffron rice and the cheese stuffing. Was surely a
treat for my buds and I was so full by the end of the meal that I wanted to
have a smoke right away. But since it is a ‘Family Restaurant’ I couldn’t. We
paid the bill and left to smoke outside of course. This wasn’t the best part but
I’m sure they have their reasons.

Now if you think this is a paid review, you’re very wrong. I just really like the place. Will soon be dining there again with friends and family. Those reading this piece, give Freddy’s a try. You won’t be disappointed (hopefully).
