Every city has its food clichés — and the gap between the tourist-trail restaurant and the place where chefs actually eat is wide. We've kept this list to the latter: restaurants we'd book for a birthday, recommend to a vegetarian guest, or send a client to between meetings.
Top restaurants in Vadodara take reservations 2–4 weeks ahead for prime weekend slots. Lunch is almost always easier than dinner. Most kitchens close between 3 PM and 7 PM; the late-night exceptions are noted below.
