2 Best Restaurants in Pushkar, Rajasthan

This four-story, family-run restaurant is a good choice for continental cuisine (think veggie burgers and Israeli salads) as well as Indian classics, with spice levels suited to the Western palate; the pizzas and pastas are popular, too. It's also a good place for breakfast, as it usually stocks a few pastries from a nearby bakery, makes paranthas (potato-stuffed flatbreads) that are fresh and not too oily. The café also serves "real" filter coffee. For views of Pushkar and the surrounding desert, sit on the rooftop terrace.

This spacious lake-view restaurant with white brick walls has a mix of regular and low tables (with ground seating on mattresses), vintage curios scattered about, and a small religious shrine in one corner. It is a popular evening hangout for locals and tourists, who come for freshly made vegetarian fare, both Indian and international, although the latter (pizzas, sandwiches, and pancakes) is more in demand.
