23 Restaurants Serving The Best Seafood In Bengaluru

Bengaluru has its own share of restaurants and pubs serving the best of food. What we find to be the perfect main course or appetizer or even a bowl of soup includes fresh seafood cooked delicately and to perfection. There are plenty of restaurants trying to serve the best of this variety but some fail to meet our expectations. 

These are the few restaurants which actually met or exceeded our expectation of how seafood should be prepared and served.  Take a look at the nest seafood in Bengaluru.

Mussels Rawa Fried at The Fisherman’s Wharf, Sarjapur Road

The Fisherman’s Wharf is known for their ambiance and decor of a seaside resort but they should be known more for their seafood preparation, especially the Mussels Rawa Fry. The mussels are coated with rawa and deep fried making it a crispy compliment to your drinks.

Although seafood soup is usually an extreme hit or miss at restaurants, Banjara makes the perfect bowl of soup for all the seafood lovers. We always go for the Tom Yum soup but the Calamari Egg Drop was a big hit the first time we ordered it. Perfectly flavoured with a hint of lemon and coriander leaves, it brings out the unique taste of the squid and egg.
