Eating in Honavar

Honavar's food is coastal cooking at its most honest: coconut and the morning's catch. The fish thali is the lunchtime staple, the highway is famous for tuppa (ghee) dosa and gudbud sundaes finish the day.

Vegetarians are well served too, from Mari Bhattara's ghee dosa and goli baje to the set-menu lunches at the 1929 Diner. See our guide to what to eat in Honavar.
