Where to Eat in Munnar
Most of Munnar's restaurants sit close together in the town centre, around Munnar Bazaar and Temple Road. That makes it easy to eat in town in the morning and evening and head out to the viewpoints in between.
For Kerala parotta with curry or appam, try East End Restaurant or Rapsy Restaurant. For vegetarian South Indian meals, Saravana Bhavan and SN Restaurant are simple, family-friendly choices.

Tips for Eating in Munnar
- Munnar Bazaar and the town centre have the most choice, from tea stalls to family restaurants.
- Eat before you set out: there are few good places to eat near Top Station, Eravikulam and the lakes, so have a proper breakfast in town.
- Try a Kerala breakfast of appam with stew or puttu and kadala at least once.
- Vegetarians have easy options, with pure vegetarian restaurants in town.
- Dinner is often early in the hills, and some places close by 9–10 pm, so do not leave it too late.
- Expect busy restaurants and slower service on weekends and during school holidays.
- Carry some cash for tea stalls and small eateries.
