This blog is an absolute food guide on Mysore where I am covering my experiences on best and popular fine-dines, budget restaurants and sweet shops where you can try some delicious dishes while in Mysore.

1. The Original Vinayak Mylari

This is one of the legendary restaurants in Mysore where you will get best breakfast in Mysore. This 80 years old and one of the best South Indian restaurants in Mysore has a compact sitting space with very ordinary décor and serving style but the food they serve is lip-smacking. They only serve a few dishes like very soft and fluffy idlis, dosas served with sago masala, homemade butter and coconut chutney and the pumpkin halwa soaked in pure ghee. The prices are also very pocket-friendly.

If you are looking for some really tasty Mysore Masala Dosa then, you should visit this place.

3. Hanumantha Mess

This place is a simple and classic mess kind-of restaurant which serves non-vegetarian dishes of chicken and mutton. Their chicken and mutton pulao with gravy and raita are the bestsellers. The prices of their dishes vary from 120 bucks to 200 bucks which is very reasonable and the taste is also very classic and scrumptious. They serve dishes in an eco-friendly way which I liked the most. The offer easy sitting arrangement, prompt service and nice ambience.

4. Hotel RRR

One of the best family restaurants in Mysore is the Hotel RRR. They serve classic Andhra-style vegetarian and non-vegetarian food in banana leaf. Their menu is also simple but the food is good. Though I personally feel that the quantity they serve is very less as per the price yet I liked the service and ambience of this place. Their Andhra-style chicken chilly is a must try. If you are a vegan, than, you can try their vegetarian meals also.

Mysore visit without tasting Mysore Pak is incomplete and you can taste some bona fide Mysore Pak in the Mysore famous sweet shop Guru Sweet Mart. This is a small sweet shop in Devaraja Market which always remains crowded with customers and you have to stand in queue to buy sweets here.
