For local food, look for dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi and ker sangri on the menu, and stop at a sweet shop for ghevar.

Tips for Eating in Bharatpur

  • The old town around Lohagarh Fort has pure-vegetarian restaurants, sweet shops and street snacks.

  • Bharatpur is a small town, so many restaurants close earlier than in big cities. Plan dinner in good time.
