Start your foodie adventure by heading to Coorg Cuisine, a place that serves authentic Kodava cuisine. The restaurant prepares dishes using traditional cooking methods and uses only locally grown ingredients to create flavors unique to Coorg. Here, you can indulge in the signature Bamboo Shoot Curry, Pandi Curry (pork curry), and Akki Roti (rice roti). The restaurant is a perfect place to start your gastronomic journey in Coorg.
You can't visit Coorg without trying the famous coffee it has to offer. Begin your second day in Mercara with a visit to the local coffee roastery and cafe. The enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee will intensify your senses. You can either try Coorg's locally grown and roasted coffee beans, or you can order a cup of coffee to enjoy in the beautiful garden. The best part is that you can also take some freshly roasted coffee beans to savor the taste of Coorg's coffee back home.
If you have an extra day in Coorg, our recommendations are:
- Visit the plantations of Coorg and learn about the coffee plantation process.
- Indulge in a cooking class learning Kodava cuisine and mastering the recipes.
If you only have one day in Coorg, we suggest only exploring one of our recommendations above, depending on your preference. You can also consider taking a short tour of local spice plantations and orchards that grow oranges and apples and take a walk in the picturesque surroundings.
