forget about the food.this venue is all about ambience and romance. the sheer location will make the experience of dining enjoyable.this place comes alive after sunset.ideal time to go is just before sunset to watch the vivid colors of the desert sun as it takes its final bow.the lake palace in the foreground shimmering in the lake makes for a grand finale.as the sun dips down the tables are laid and candles put in place.the clear desert sky starts throwing up the twilight colors as the guests start filtering in and to the accompaniment of light musisc the palaces are illuminated.the atmosphere is so romantic that even hardcore romantic buffs can feel numb.
then comes the second part beverages of exotic kind and food bon appetit!!

Favorite Dish: almost everything they serve up is classy.

the poolside is a great place to have a dinner in the evening.consider yourself lucky if you are invited to a wedding dinner.the starlit open skies with the illuminated palaces and the minarets form a grand backdrop.the shimmering pool with ancient trees with a huge canopy with lights sparkling make up for a fairytale evening.the buffet ranges from INR 1200 per person to INR 12000 per person if you are holding it in an exotic location like jagmandir which is on an island inside lake pichola and the guests are taken there with a boat.
celebrity weddings, rich businessmen,corporate parties,stars are a rule here.

Favorite Dish: all indian and conti dishes are made to perfection.

We viewed the palace from a distance at the City Palace, and immediately decided that we HAD to eat dinner there. That evening, we took the launch that leaves from below the City Palace. In the foggy darkness we arrived at the quay servicing the lake palace, and after a stroll around the grounds, were seated in at a corner table with windows of the lake on two sides. The marble palace construction takes over all parts of Jag Niwas Island as far as I could tell. The inside of the restaurant is as detailed in terms of painted and ornamentation as one finds anywhere in India. The meal was extraordinary, but so was the price. We also saw antique sailing vessel depart from the palace into the foggy night. Aboard was a full restaurant and bar for a special party.

well had a nice experience of having an early morning breakfast. the spread was selective not too lavish but good in quality the seating arrangements were excellent. the views from the restaurant overlooking the swimming pool with the aravalli mountains in the background is stupendous. the bright light can be sometimes disconcerting due to the glare. the evening time is magical with the swimming pool lit up and the ambience is very romantic.

Favorite Dish: buffett breakfast

We had tea & scones here while visiting the palace. The variety of cakes & desserts was large and difficult to choose, but we settled for some old fashioned scones. Served with Fresh Cream & Jam. I had a look at the dinner menu - it was extensive , with both vegetarian dishes, and many Mughal meat dishes. I regret not having proper meal here.........the atmosphere and views were great. It overlooks the lake, and service was quietly efficient.

Favorite Dish: Afternoon Chai & Scones

This wonderful open air restuarant is situated on the banks of Lake Pichola. It is part of an hotel,but is heavily frequented by locals & tourists alike. Under huge shady trees, there are wrought-iron tables with comfortable chairs, and birds and squirrels round around, and perch on tables. Views are fantastic, overlooking ghats and the lake. Lunch can stretch on the whole afternoon.....its very relaxed. The service is good, the food is delicious, and the beer is cold.They also have a good wine list.
At night, it comes alive with atmosphere. Candle-lit tables and music add to the exotic atmosphere.On weekend evening also dancing. It is wise to book for an evening meal.
Ambrai can be reached on foot. It is a pleasant 20 minute walk from Lal Ghat,across the bridge.

Favorite Dish: Pokara. Also all the vegetarian dishes were unbeatable.

This restuarant,tucked away in Chandpol, has a deep-blue painted walls, with mirrors & murals, and beautiful plants lining the charming courtyard. Its secluded & cosy. It also has an indoor dining area, which has comfortable seating, and is very tastefully furnished. It has a very relaxed atmophere... and is always crowded with happy travellers. The service was quick & efficient.
For Lunches, its good to sit in the shady courtyard. They serve a good ice cold beer, or anything else that is required. The lunch menu is not as extensive as the dinner menu, but very adequate. Dinner is special, with candles and flowers and beautiful crockery & silver. Its best to book for an evening meal. Because it stays open until a very late hour, most diners can enjoy a meal, listen to the music, and linger over a cocktail afterwards.
We really enjoyed this place......it has a funky feeling, quite unusual compared to other places we had eaten at.

Favorite Dish: The Thali dishes were good, and various vegetarian dishes excellent. And the Tomato Soup was great, if somewhat spicy.

In Udaipur, if you are tired of eating at tourist places, go for a real authentic lunch & Diner experience to the Natraj Hotel. it is about 10 minutes ride with an auto-rickshaw from Lal Ghat. Every rickshaw driver will know it - it is famous under the locals. we went there twice and both times had an incredible tasty thali with 8 different dishes, chapati, papadum, mint sauce, lemon and rice. no tourist goes there and it is real busy at lunchtime. "all-you-can-eat" meaning you get served until you stop signaling for more - for 45 RS per person.
