Coastal Karnataka at heart. Planner of group trips.
Blue Ginger, Taj West End
Vietnamese food in a pavilion over a lily pond, under trees that are older than the city's flyovers. Go for dinner when the lamps are lit. Book a table by the water.
Bengaluru Oota Company
Gowda and Mangalorean home food, served in a house in Halasuru. The host explained where every dish came from. Reservation only, at least a day ahead, over WhatsApp. Go hungry; the courses keep coming.
Karavalli, Taj MG Road
The closest you'll get to coastal Karnataka without driving to Mangalore. The fish curry tasted like my grandmother's. Ask for a table in the garden, and order the appam to mop up everything.
