Mysuru Reccos You Need To Bookmark
Tanvi Gaikwad took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her list of recommendations in Mysuru. The X user spent the weekend exploring the pretty city with a friend and she wanted to share a guide for those looking to visit the city. A three-hour drive away from Bengaluru, Mysuru is a city known for the opulent Mysuru Palace, which still houses the royal family. This well-planned city has over time seen a rise in alfresco cafes and patisseries.

Roambay is a cosy hostel in Mysuru where you can get a bed starting at₹ 1,272/night in a 6-bed dorm. This 100-year-old property has a beautiful blend of Indian and British architecture.
2. OG Vinayak Mylari dosa
I always thought a dosa could only be so good, but this one took it to the next level. 🍛
You can enjoy it by waiting in line for breakfast or have it in the evening if you prefer to avoid the wait. pic.twitter.com/3LNviJy9Ir— Tanvi Gaikwad (@tanvigaikwad_9) August 18, 2024
A visit to Mysuru would be futile without tucking into a plate of piping hot Mylari Dosa. the soft dosa topped with white butter is a treat for the senses.
3. Mysore Palace
Although the experience has become commercialized and the historical context isn’t fully conveyed through the palace’s interior displays, the stunning architecture is definitely worth seeing. 🏰 pic.twitter.com/Rkd9bcOPKx

Sapa Bakery is a German Bakery that prides itself on its freshly baked doughnuts and cakes. Pair their bakes with a piping hot cup of coffee.
6. The Old House
If you want a break from the delicious South Indian food, try this place for the best Italian food in town. It’s all veg but worth it! 🍕 pic.twitter.com/RkeNiLVvdp
