Although I have a soft spot for Koramangala, this map takes you though the highs and lows of daily life in several parts of Bangalore. Some quick bites for lunch, and others are places for a very special first date or a staycation. I’m not originally from Bangalore, but my first trip left a memorable impression and I go back every chance I get.

The flavors are bold and deep, just like the people.

As more and more startups and tech talent flock to the city, more and more Bangalore restaurants and bars open. Boasting everything from traditional South Indian fare, to gaadi-walas, to micro breweries, to western gastro-pubs.

Sink your teeth in to this delectable and constantly evolving food scene (and take a break to see some historic sites along the way.)
