It’s a city that boasts of some of the finest dining options in the county – breakfast included. From super South Indian fair to heart continental cuisine, Bangalore boasts of some of the best breakfast places in town. Here’s our list of the top 6 places you just have to visit this weekend:
Hole In The Wall Cafe
Like the name suggests its a hole in the wall, not so little that its cramped, but cozy and homely. Serving some of the best continental breakfast options in the city – huge portions for very nominal prices – HITWC is a super hit with Bangalore foodies. Their Pulled Pork Burger is to die for, as are their waffles and peanut butter and banana French toast.
May we suggest you get here early on a Sunday morning for a relaxed meal, else be prepared to stand in queue for at least 45 minutes!
