A chic canteen that captures the atmosphere of 1970s Goanese restaurants with antiques scattered here and there and a menu to discover on a slate. Delicious fish and seafood specialties, but also thalis, classics of the local cuisine... Food lovers will particularly appreciate the chicken vindaloo, a very spicy dish with a subtle smoky taste, to be eaten with chapatis or pav, the goanese bread inherited from the Portuguese.

The setting of this Imperial Hotel restaurant is more reminiscent of an English private club bar than a charming Tuscan village.

The 100% Italian menu offers just-cooked pasta, thin-crusted pizzas, cold cuts from the Botte and some must-try dishes. All absolutely delicious.

It would be a pity to stay in Udaipur without having dinner at Ambrai! Bhaset Singh, the cook of the place, is none other than the former head of the maharaja and his experience allows him some remarkable fantasies. The dishes are meticulously prepared and served quickly. The enchanting setting is ideal for a romantic dinner. In the evening, the tables are lit by candlelight and before your eyes the city is reflected in the lake. We highly recommend Jahagisi Chicken, the unique house specialty. Reservation imperative in high season.

Chased away from Mullackal Road, this popular restaurant has retreated not far away, on the canal side, next to the YMCA. It serves very good thalis, called mealshere. You'll also find a great selection of local fish, both sea and lake. If you like spicy food, try the meen pollichattu, fish cooked in a banana leaf.

An institution in Darjeeling since 1935. A superb establishment on three floors. On the second floor, the restaurant. It offers Indian and international cuisine.

You'll have to climb several flights of stairs to reach the roof of this beautifully appointed little café. Mattresses on the floor covered with colorful drapes, large cushions, low wooden tables and carpets, that's the setting. Prefer the tables at the back which look directly onto the fort. The café offers an impressive menu with no less than 17 ways to prepare chicken! The service is a bit slow and nonchalant, but very nice. And the wifi works perfectly. A good place to rest for a while, on the terrace or in the room.

A well known chain all over India for more than 50 years, and the place even seems to date back to that time! Good simple Indian food at low prices. The waiters wear fan-shaped hats and the walls are decorated with portraits of historical Congress leaders. They serve snacks and real meals. It's a popular spot among locals. Another open-air establishment is located on the waterfront next to the Raheem Residency. However, its opening hours depend on the season and the weather...

The Yogi is a place not to be missed in Mamallapuram.

The place also serves alcohol.

Le Bon Appetit is the most chic restaurant in town. The place has a unique atmosphere and a terrace with a superb view. Let's be clear: the setting is nice but the menu is limited and a bit pretentious. To the Indian dishes, good but not more, prefer the European cuisine(fish & chips, lasagne, pasta, bruschettas, burgers). Forget also the pizzas, which are small and not very filling. For dessert, we highly recommend the delicious chocolate momos. And bon appétit, of course!

Hidden in a maze of alleys, this small Tibetan restaurant offers vegetarian or non-vegetarian ravioli, tingmo (steam-cooked Tibetan bread) or noodles. An interesting alternative!

This restaurant is installed on the roof of the hotel Umaid Bhawan. You can eat there on the terrace, which is very pleasant in the evening when the weather is fine, or at lunchtime in winter. The address is famous for its tandoor cooking, the clay oven in which meat and naans are roasted, which take on delicate smoky notes.

As its name suggests, this restaurant offers quality cuisine inspired by the north of the country. The tandoor is in operation for lunch and dinner (which is rare), which allows you to enjoy a chicken tikka or kebabs for lunch. Some Chinese dishes are also on the menu (especially noodles) and snacks. The setting, if it is impersonal, is nonetheless comfortable. The tables are large and surrounded by benches and the room is air-conditioned. The staff will be able to guide you in your choice if the menu leaves you wondering. A good place.

An address known by gourmets! This establishment opened since 1956, a few meters from Marine Drive, has been delighting lovers of good Indian cuisine for decades. Forget the Western dishes on the menu, and linger on the many Indian specialties. Try the Goan Fish Cur ry, Roast Lamb with mint sauce or the classic Murg Tikka Masala. The décor and service from another time are very pleasant.

Considered by the locals as the best biryani restaurant in town, the tables are crowded at lunchtime. You have to pass through the store selling dates, perfumes and sweets to get to the large room lit by neon lights and cooled by fans.

This restaurant offers a superb view on the Ganges and on the astronomical observatory of the palace built by the raja of Amber. The traditional North Indian cuisine is honored and the dishes are very copious. On the other hand, the prices are quite high (you pay for the place) and the service can sometimes be a bit dry. For the anecdote, the restaurant has this name because during the monsoon fresh water dolphins (the susu) used to come regularly to swim in the waters of the Ganges, but only during the monsoon.

It is the first of the restaurants on the road leading to the bridge and the fort, its menu is more or less the same as that of its colleagues, with a delicious eggplant curry. The owner is adorable and cooks especially for sensitive palates by subtly dosing the spices. From the terrace, you can appreciate the animation that reigns at the crossroads, especially in the evening, when the pilgrims come in mass to the temple located on the other side of the road. The place is a bit touristy but still very pleasant.

This address is known by the locals for its sweet delicacies, but the cookie store is also next to a large restaurant where they serve spicy vegetarian specialties. The principle is that of fast food. You have to go to the cashier and order your meal, then present your ticket to a waiter behind the counter. Once your tray is full, you just have to find a free seat, which can be complicated on weekend nights.

Founded in 1871, it is the most welcoming place for those who arrive in the city. Discreet stained glass windows remind us of the identity of the place. Chinese, continental and Indian cuisine. Fresh fruit juice at any time of the day. Many customers sit down for a cold draught beer despite the prohibitive prices... The place is often crowded and it is not rare to have to wait for a table. Moreover, the service is very nonchalant, to say the least. Leopold relies more on its notoriety than on the quality of its cuisine.

The most popular establishment in Munnar among backpackers, serving good chicken biryanis , fish curries, excellent Kerala parothas, as well as international dishes, spicy or not, according to your convenience. On the menu you will find some dishes like chatchouka, Sri Lankan kothus, salads, burgers... The decor is sober and the atmosphere not really warm, however the owner is friendly. It is certainly not great gastronomy but the Rapsy is a good choice in this price range.

This is a charming restaurant where you can enjoy good Italian cuisine. Whether you sit inside on cushions, amidst colorful drapes and traditional handicrafts, or on the outdoor terrace, you will be seduced by the enchanting setting. At night, you have a front row seat to the illuminated fort. You'll love what you have on your plate: lasagna, pasta, salads, soups, pizzas cooked over a wood fire. And not to spoil anything, the welcome is warm. Like a taste of Italy...

Founded in 1932, Cafe Mondegar is one of the oldest cafes in the city. It was the first to have a jukebox in Bombay! Since 1990, the walls are decorated by the famous Goan artist, Mario Miranda. His drawings representing scenes of life are famous in the whole country. The place is nice and you can eat there at any time. There is a large choice of snacks and dishes from all over the world. One room is air-conditioned, the other is not. The youth and the artists of the city meet here to chat over a coffee or a beer.

Another establishment that has moved! Unfortunately, the charm and intimacy of the first place have disappeared. The restaurant is now located on Othavadai Street with a room in the backyard and a smaller room on the first floor.

With a small terrace, this restaurant offers a nice view of the bazaar from the cramped room on the second floor. On the roof, a vast space overlooks the whole city and a part of the sacred lake. The address is well known to travelers on a tight budget, many of whom come to Pushkar. They come here to have their meals or simply to rest during the day to taste a homemade lassi. They serve Indian dishes, but also pizzas and salads... The food is more than correct.

Recent initiatives include the introduction of a new Sizzlers line and a few price changes. The wait is sometimes a bit long, but the game is worth it: the shares are gargantuan.

This establishment, which was renovated in 2021, is a classic. The large terrace on the waterfront is particularly pleasant and is crowded as soon as the sun goes down. There is also an air-conditioned room upstairs. On the menu are many Kerala specialties, including excellent fish, shrimp and crab dishes, but also some North Indian recipes such as the inevitable biriyani. Various chicken dishes are also available. Beer and wine available. Reservations are recommended in the evening.

This is a good idea to leave for dinner in the very calm Jaïpur. In a reconstituted setting, this rajasthani village delights with its atmosphere, but also by its typical (very spicy) thalis. Dance, puppet and music shows, camel or elephant rides, every evening from until.

Clafouti is a nice place to start the day! This bakery serves good croissants, pastries and raisin rolls. The breakfasts are good and cheap. The menu is similar to the other restaurants, with some Thai dishes added, but it is very popular. Excellent specialties cooked in the tandoor. You can sip a beer or a fresh fruit juice on the floor, while admiring the open sea. The service is fast and pleasant, and the prices are lower than in neighboring establishments.
