Ambrai
At water level, looking across to Lake Palace Hotel and Lal Ghat, Ambrai feels like a French park, with its wrought-iron chairs and dusty ground. The food at this scenic restaurant is nothing to rave about, but after a couple of sunset drinks, the mattar rajputana will do the trick.

Bawarchi Restaurant
A jumping local thali joint where you can eat well and be merry for not a lot of money.
-
Berry's
An icy cool restaurant with an impressive brass front door. Berry is a better bet in the evening, when the trade is busy and the white-tablecloth service comes to the fore. The cooking is classy veg and nonveg, with the usual Indian trade plus great burgers.
-
Café Edelweiss
The Savage Garden crowd have got the café set covered with this little piece of Europe that appeals to both homesick and discerning travellers. The cake tray turns over fast, and it's tough to get a seat. The coffee is superb.
-
Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel
This is a delightful, peaceful restaurant with wonderful lake views, and particularly good fish dishes and biryani (steamed rice with meat or vegies). It's wise to book ahead in the evening. Breakfast is average.
-
Lake Palace Hotel
This Udaipur institution will never live up to its hype, but where else can you eat in such surrounds? A sumptuous buffet dinner is offered along with house wine. Reservations are mandatory, and you've got to iron your shirt.

-
Maxim's Café

Savage Garden
This place, near Chandpol, is still doing it right. It's unusually atmospheric, with deep-blue walls, bowls of flowers, and tables in alcoves or in a pleasant courtyard. The starters are sublime - try the stuffed pappadam rolls. The bar is slick, and the service slicker.
-
Shilpi Restaurant
Next to Shilpgram, this is a pleasantly open restaurant serving the usual range of cuisines. It also has a pool with a small entry fee.
-
Sunrise

Trident Hilton
The service and multicuisine buffet at this slick top-end hotel are worth the short trek out here.

Whistling Teal
A brilliant restaurant with superlative curries and exemplary service. Set in a putting-green-perfect garden, the Whistling Teal has walls covered with grainy photos, and you can drink cocktails in saddles at the bar. The jazz soundtrack is classy, and the coffee menu extensive.
