Ahar Restaurant
At night it’s damn near impossible to miss this flashing Christmas tree of a restaurant. During the day it’s marginally more subtle, but even so the bright lights, bright pink interior and bright balloons are obviously of great appeal to the girls of Rangpur as this seems to be the only restaurant in the entire country where female diners outnumber male. The staff proudly announce that they can make ‘anything’, though they mean anything Bangladeshi. Still, the biryani is well worth the trip.

Tajhat Palace
The domineering Tajhat Palace is one of the finest rajbaris in Bangladesh. During the regime of General Ershad (1982–91), the palace was used by the High Court division of Bangladesh’s Supreme Court, but today it houses a small museum stuffed with old manuscripts and bits and bobs from Paharpur and Mahasthangarh.

Boaishaki Restaurant
This place is so popular it’s just silly, but as normal the locals know best. As well as delectable curries there are a few harder to come by dishes such as biryani. If the staff take a shine to you then you might find yourself leaving with a free red rose, and a cha or two better off.
