Quick answer: Indiranagar’s 100 Feet Road is Bangalore’s undisputed restaurant and pub capital. Top picks: Toit Brewpub (craft beer, best in city), Truffles (burgers and pasta, always packed), Third Wave Coffee Roasters (specialty coffee, 12th Main), The Fatty Bao (Asian tapas), Toast & Tonic (brunch + cocktails), and Arbor Brewing (craft beer, relaxed vibe).

If Bangalore has a food neighbourhood that defines the city’s contemporary dining culture, it is Indiranagar. The area between 100 Feet Road, CMH Road, and 12th Main has more restaurants, cafes, and bars per square kilometre than almost anywhere in South India. Every cuisine, every budget, every vibe — from a quick ₹80 South Indian breakfast at a darshini to a slow Saturday brunch at a specialty coffee roaster or a long Friday evening at a craft brewpub — is available within a 15-minute walk.
I have eaten and drunk my way through most of Indiranagar’s food scene over many years as a Bangalore resident and digital marketer. This guide covers the spots worth your time, with honest notes on what each is genuinely best for.
Best Indiranagar Restaurants Bangalore
1. Toit Brewpub — 100 Feet Road (Bangalore’s Most Iconic Pub)
Toit is the most famous restaurant-bar in Bangalore, full stop. The multi-level brewpub brews its own beers on-site — the Weiss, IPA, Stout, and seasonal specials are genuinely excellent craft beers. But Toit is also exceptional food: the wood-fired pizzas and mutton burger are among the best pub food in the city. The space is always buzzing, the staff are efficient, and the atmosphere is precisely what a great neighbourhood brewpub should feel like.
- Famous for: In-house craft beer (Weiss, IPA, Stout), wood-fired pizza, mutton burger
- Best time to visit: Thursday evenings — lively but shorter queues than weekends
- Average spend: ₹1,200–₹1,800 per person with food and drinks
- Address: 298, 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar
Insider tip: Toit doesn’t take reservations. Arrive before 7 PM on weekends to get a table without waiting. The ground floor bar counter is the best spot for solo visits or couples who want to watch the brewing tanks up close.
2. Truffles — CMH Road (Best Burgers in Bangalore)
Truffles started in a small Indiranagar space and has grown into one of Bangalore’s most consistently popular restaurants. The menu is simple — burgers, pastas, sandwiches, and a few desserts — but the execution is reliable at every visit. The burgers are juicy, the pastas are well-seasoned, and the portions are generous. It gets busy from 7:30 PM onward and the queue forms early, but the wait is generally worth it.
- Famous for: Juicy burgers, creamy pastas, rich desserts — Bangalore’s most popular burger spot
- Average spend: ₹600–₹900 per person
- Locations: CMH Road, Indiranagar (plus Koramangala)
3. Third Wave Coffee Roasters — CMH Road & 12th Main
Third Wave Coffee Roasters has become the defining specialty coffee spot of modern Bangalore. The Indiranagar locations on CMH Road and 12th Main have a pastel-toned, Scandinavian-minimal aesthetic that is unmistakably photogenic. But the coffee is the real reason people come: single-origin pour-overs, espresso drinks made from traceable beans, and a Vietnamese Shakerato that has developed a cult following.
The sustainability ethos is genuine — every coffee is sourced from identified farms, the brewing methods are explained, and the baristas know their craft. It is also a superb remote working cafe, with reliable Wi-Fi and power points at most seats.
- Famous for: Single-origin specialty coffee, Vietnamese Shakerato, artisanal breakfast food
- Best for: Remote work, first dates, specialty coffee appreciation
- Average spend: ₹400–₹700 per person
- Locations: CMH Road and 12th Main, Indiranagar
4. Toast & Tonic — 100 Feet Road (Best Brunch in Indiranagar)
Toast & Tonic has built a reputation as Bangalore’s best brunch destination — the weekend brunch spread covers everything from beautifully assembled avocado toasts to smoked salmon benedicts to Indian-influenced egg dishes with exceptional cocktails. The space is well-designed with exposed brick, greenery, and generous natural light. The cocktail menu is creative and well-made, and the Sunday brunch crowd is the most consistently stylish in the city.
- Famous for: Weekend brunch, creative cocktails, beautifully presented dishes
- Average spend: ₹1,500–₹2,500 per person with cocktails
- Address: 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar
5. The Fatty Bao — 12th Main (Best Asian Food in Bangalore)
The Fatty Bao is an Asian tapas restaurant that has maintained its reputation as one of the best non-Indian dining experiences in Bangalore for years. The menu covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and pan-Asian small plates with genuine attention to authenticity. The ramen bowls, gyoza, and bao buns are particular highlights. Reservation strongly recommended on weekends.
- Famous for: Ramen, gyoza, bao buns, pan-Asian tapas
- Average spend: ₹1,200–₹1,800 per person
- Address: 12th Main, Indiranagar
6. Arbor Brewing Company — 1st Stage (Best Alternative to Toit)
Arbor Brewing Company is the quieter, more relaxed alternative to Toit for craft beer lovers. The Indo-American brewing collaboration produces excellent beers across a wide range of styles, and the taproom is large enough that weekend visits rarely feel as crowded as Toit. The food menu is diverse and good, and the service is noticeably more attentive than at busier Indiranagar venues.
- Famous for: Indo-American craft beers, relaxed atmosphere, diverse food menu
- Average spend: ₹1,000–₹1,500 per person with food and drinks
