Thin, piping hot and crunchy, French Fries are an ideal snack to while away time in front of the idiot box, get over a breakup, celebrate weight loss or simply cater to midnight hunger pangs. Off late some restaurants have decided to gourmet up itsu00a0mundane avatar. u00a0On top of our list are the Herby fries at Olive Bar and Kitchen at Bandra, which serves hot fries sprinkled with a helping of Parmesan cheese and served with a smattering of chive leaves.u00a0Cheese-fries pairing seems to be a favourite combination for chefs in the city.

Our search for hand-cut fries ended at the rooftop restaurant at Marine Drive with Rosemary-infused French fries at Dome, InterContinental where the fries were slender, golden-yellow and dusted with rosemary shreds and salt.u00a0
