Moonrakers
Like it or not, you’ll likely end up here at some stage; it’s the sort of place that magnetises travellers. Probably because it’s a three-storey resto-bar complex that dominates the backpacker-ghetto streetscape. Food is OK, ambience is better and beer is enjoyable from the top-floor verandah.

Le Yogi
This is probably the best Western food in town. The steaks, pastas and pizzas are genuine and tasty (if small), service is stellar, and the airy dining area, with wooden accents, flickering candlelight and billowing fabrics, is romantic as all get out.

Freshly ‘N Hot
Yes, the name makes no sense, and we’re not sure it’s some cute misspelling either, considering the guys who run this open-air cafe have so many other Western standards down. Especially the ice coffee: hands down the best in town.

Siesta
On the shaded and breezy rooftop of Sri Murugan Guest House, this tapas restaurant offers - among other things - authentic Spanish omelette, patatas bravas (fried potatoes in a spicy sauce), garlic mushrooms and paella.

Village Inn Restaurant
Tucked away off the main strip, there's cane furniture, a couple of tables on the veranda and Indian classical music playing in the background, with inexpensive seafood, steaks (order in advance) and, surprisingly, Scotch eggs.

The Nautilus seems perpetually buzzing with every traveller you’ve ever met talking about how much they loved/hated/got-ripped-off-in Goa/Varanasi/Hampi/Cochi while eating eggs on toast and drinking smoothies.

Palais Croisette
On the roof of Hotel Ramakrishna, the Palais manages very nice pasta (put it this way: it came recommended by an Italian traveller) and similarly good fresh seafood.
