Wine & Dine

Mysuru has a strong coffee-drinking culture and a good enough range of cuisines to keep you satiated.

Local Bites

Mysuru has a fascinating history of dishes, so loved that they’ve become synonymous with the city. The famous Mysore pak, first made for a king who had grown tired of the usual sweet fare, is best bought from the 8 Guru Sweet Mart on Sayyaji Rao Road. Don’t be fooled by the size of 9 Vinayaka Mylari, for this tiny eatery on Nazarbad Main Road packs a punch with the softest of Mysore dosas. Get banana buns, aka Mangalore buns, from Hotel Sri Durga Bhavan in Gokulam, or head to Nalpak ( nalpak.in) for some Mysore bonda (deep-fried potato dumplings). Famous for its quick-moving South Indian breakfast platters, Cafe Aramane ( cafearamane-vegetarainrestaurant.business.site) is also known for serving a different speciality dosa every day of the week.
