Being a foodie, the very first thing that comes to my mind is the concern for food when travelling. Staying in Jaipur for about three years I came across some of the cafes that were really outstanding where I enjoyed my crazy outings. For that matter, at times I even felt that I am not in Jaipur as the interiors of the new age cafes and restaurants were completely different from what we imagine when thinking about Jaipur (palace windows, royal history, grand architecture, magnificent monuments). And this is the only reason why it used to leave me with just one word and i.e., WOW!
So if you consider yourself as a flashpacker and planning to escape on a trip to Jaipur then it is important to celebrate the culinary brilliance of this bustling yet colourful city. Please allow me to share the best cafes and restaurants in Jaipur that you should visit to get indulged in the brazen gluttony. Let’s get started!

Chai Lovers Please Head To One and Only TAPRI THE TEA HOUSE
So the literal meaning of TAPRI is tea stall which is called by the people of Rajasthan and there couldn’t be any better place than Tapri to have chai. Although there are three Tapris in Jaipur but I went to the Tapri Central in C-Scheme as I wanted to get the experience of sitting on rooftop and sipping tea while getting a complete view of from the top.
