The Best Restaurants in Udaipur



Udaipur is arguably the most romantic city in Rajasthan and is incredibly popular when it comes to visitors, but in our opinion, Udaipur is a slow burn when it comes to food. You need time and patience to find the right places to eat here or you can just take our recommendations, which range from simple, soulful family-cooked meals to special intimate evenings in some really stunning locations. Things like a hands-on cooking and dining session with a noble family at Deolia House - one of the finest homes in Rajasthan for a proper culinary experience - give you genuine insight into regional ingredients and a chance to learn forgotten recipes from a master home chef. We also arrange private dining on the terraces at the charming Jagat Niwas Palace, overlooking Lake Pichola, or a table at the beautiful Sheesh Mahal Restaurant at The Leela Palace. We have it all covered for our clients.

Here are some of the most unique and special dining experiences in Udaipur that we've put together exclusively for our guests this season:

  • Private venue dining at the iconic Lake Palace, where chefs present menus inspired by Udaipur's legendary love stories, accompanied by live Rajput classical music and a personalised setup with views of the City Palace and Lake Pichola.
  • A curated cocktail hour, where a skilled mixologist creates bespoke cocktails tailored to your tastes, along with a private chef preparing a customised grill menu. This is followed by a Champagne breakfast overlooking Lake Pichola, featuring regional-inspired dishes like vibrant fruits, rose-infused teas, and cardamom-honey delicacies—all set up in the privacy of your pool villa at The Leela Palace. 
  • A masterclass with a Marwari home chef, learning about traditional vegetarian desserts and the symbolic use of spices. Guests create and take home their own handmade Rajasthani sweets.
