Bombay Palace
One of the oldest Indian restaurants in town, now in new snazzy premises close to the Pepsi Forum. The midday buffet (around C$9 Monday to Thursday, around C$10 Friday to Sunday) is a good chance to try its excellent curries and tandoori specialties. Legions of fans include Bill and Hillary Clinton - check out the photos in the foyer.

Gandhi
Gandhi's has a core of loyal fans who come here for classics like Tandoori chicken and the extensive curry menu with adventurous fare like malaya , a curry of pineapple, lychees and cream. The starched white tablecloths, ochre walls are simple and understated. Appetizers like pakoras or vegetable samosas are finely spiced, and faves such as tandoori duck, butter chicken and lamb korahi practically melt in your mouth. This place is a gem.

Isakaya
One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in town. The decor is fairly simple but the fish is frighteningly fresh - the owner, Shige Minagawa, is known for hand-picking his seafood and preparing it in classic Japanese fashion. Daily specials such as lobster sashimi, tuna belly or yellowtail are listed on the chalkboard by the kitchen. Reservations are essential.

Jardin De Jade
The chaotic, loud, free-for-all known as the Jardin de Jade buffet should be a must on your list if only to see it in action. Vegetarian, sushi, dumplings, fish, chicken, ribs, soups, desserts, salads, pizzas...the list literally goes on forever. To see it in its full elbow-bumping glory, try weekdays, when locals, business people and students battle it out over the stir-fry. One of the best deals in town. Price varies depending on day and time.

Tampopo
Plateau locals love this cozy place for its aromatic Vietnamese soups and filling noodle dishes with flank steak, grilled pork and rice vermicelli. Take a seat at one of three low tables with bamboo matting, or at the long wavy counter with a view of the open kitchen.
