While Gokarna tends to cater to international tastes, you can concentrate wholly on relishing local flavours in Karwar. Like much of the Konkan coast, Karwar’s cuisine too infuses spices, coconuts, kokum, and local ingredients into its preparations. For the seafood lover, especially, Karwar is paradise. Don’t forget to visit Hotel Amrut — an institution here — for their fish thalis that come loaded with flavours. Their fish fry and their Prawn Ghee Roast too are stellar.
Swetha Lunch Home too is an icon around here. The humble restaurant is known for its Crab Masala apart from the Prawn Rawa Fry and the Mussels Sukka. Of course, you have to wash it all down with tumblers of their Solkadhi. If you are on a budget, then, try Parvathi Fish Land. Their fish curry rice, mackerel fry, and crab sukka will leave you with a big smile on your face.
