Start your day at Kingstar Bakery, a local favorite for breakfast pastries, cakes, and savory pies. This bakery has been in business for over 50 years and uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients in their products. Try their famous apple pie or the spicy chicken puff, and wash it down with a cup of steaming hot chai tea.
For lunch, head to Hotel Junior Kuppanna, a popular local restaurant with a wide variety of South Indian dishes. Must-tries include the prawn biryani, chicken pepper fry, and the mutton keema balls. Portions are generous, so come hungry and leave satisfied!
In the evening, check out Jai Hind Mess, a tiny hole-in-the-wall joint that serves some of the best street food in town. Try the spicy egg bonda, masala vada, and the chicken 65. The prices are very reasonable, so you can eat to your heart's content!
If you're in the mood for something different, start your second day with a breakfast at Shinkow's Chinese Restaurant. This restaurant has been around since 1965 and still serves some of the best Chinese food in town. Try the steaming hot momos, the vegetable spring rolls, and the chicken chow mein.
For lunch, head to Willy's Coffee Pub, a cozy café with a great atmosphere. They serve a variety of sandwiches, pizzas, and burgers, but the main draw is their coffee and desserts. Try their tiramisu, brownies, and blueberry cheesecake along with a cup of their signature cappuccino.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to Doddabetta Peak and Pykara Lake for some scenic views and boating. If you have less time, you can skip Jai Hind Mess and choose some of the local street food vendors instead. Don't forget to try the local specialties, such as Ooty varkey and homemade chocolates.
