Avoid the city traffic by starting out early and make sure to have a little something before leaving, because the next stop shall be Jaipur! Since you will probably be hungry by the time you reach, we have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at Jal Mahal, The Trident located just a few miles from the National Highway. You can enjoy the serene beauty of Jal Mahal (the historic palace and the restaurant) situated opposite the hotel.

Start out in the evening with first stop at Rawat Mishthan Bhandar located 15 minutes away from Diggi Palace, for evening snacks. It is one of those places that believes in the power of good food and while they offer no frills they sure make some fabulous kachoris. We recommend packing some pyaaz kachoris (and mirchi pakora, only if you have a very good chilli tolerance) to gorge on while sightseeing.
Located opposite Polovictory Cinema, Station Road, Sindhi Camp, Jaipur.
Grandeur at its Best at Suvarna Mahal, Taj Rambagh Palace
Suvarna Mahal at the Taj Rambagh Palace
End the day with a grand dinner at Suvarna Mahal, Taj Rambagh Palace. Breathing luxury and royalty, the majestic ambience is sure to send you in a trance. Backed up by equally delicious food, the lal maas and kacche ghost ki biryani are must have here. Ideal to explore the cuisine in Rajasthan while sipping on tipples, Suvarna Mahal showcases everything special about this historic city.

In case you are in mood to skip a day at the convention, head over to Steam at Taj Rambagh Palace for an unrivalled brunch. Opt for seating inside the train, so you can enjoy the ambience as much as food. If you are headed here for a late dinner, the romantic seating outside will woo you over. Their menu is #DSSCVerified so feel free to eat your heart out, but we have a special preference for the pizzas.
