Agra Restaurants

  1. Bellevue

    Although the more casual of the two restaurants in Amar Vilas, Bellevue is all class and a fine place to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast buffet (US$20 for two people) or lunch with a Taj view through the large windows.

  2. Dasaprakash

    Highly recommended by locals for consistently good South Indian veg food, Dasaprakash whips up spectacular thalis, dosas and a few token continental dishes. The dessert sundaes are tempting but pricey. Comfortable booth seating and screens make for intimate dining.

    Beloved of tour groups, Only has character and the food is good, if a little pricey.

There's live music in the evening in season (November to March).
