Raintree Restaurant
Raintree
Set in a century-old heritage house, this elegant restaurant serves Kodava and Kerala-style food, with its coconut-milk dessert as the signature.
Opened in 2010 by three friends with deep ties to Coorg, the restaurant occupies a century-old house on Pension Lane, behind the municipal office. The house is said to have once hosted Gandhi. It has indoor and outdoor seating and parking. The menu covers Kodava dishes and pan-Indian fare: pandi curry, pepper fry, ghee-roasted meat, appam with stew, and the signature dessert, Elaneer Payasam, a tender coconut milk pudding. Prices are high for the area and taxes are extra. During peak tourist season, it's best to call ahead for dinner.
