Earl's Secret
A glasshouse restaurant in the King's Cliff hotel overlooking the valley, one of Ooty's top-rated dinner choices.
Set in the hilltop heritage mansion King's Cliff on Havelock Road, the glass conservatory overlooks the valley and is a popular choice for date-night dinners and Sunday brunch. The menu spans Continental, Italian, Indian and Asian cuisines. Frequently recommended dishes include chicken rolls, roast lamb, Southeast Asian-style sambal prawns and apple pie. Tripadvisor lists about 1,200 reviews with a 4.5 rating. Book ahead on weekends. The platform lists about INR 1,200–1,650 for two, but some reviewers say a single main can cost INR 600–900, so actual spending may be higher.
