Local cuisine
Two dishes carry the city’s name, and both are worth the trip on their own.
What to eat
The four things to try first
Mysore Masala Dosa
Thin, crisp, spread inside with red chutney and folded over potato. A breakfast institution.
Mysore Pak
A dense ghee-and-gram-flour sweet created in the palace kitchen. Sold fresh across the old city.
Traditional meals
The full South Indian plated meal remains the standard midday lunch.
Street food
Idli, vada and biryani from evening stalls, especially around the market and the station.
