Mandalay is a wide variety of restaurants, good or bad, often with products entering a restaurant with the nearest farms and fields surrounding the city. Mandalay is like a "intersection" of Food crops of Shanov, Burmesers, Chinese, Hindus, and all this with an admixture of the West. It is not surprising that the city can offer excellent options.
Breakfast
Wonderful if breakfast is provided in your hotel - stay in the city will be much easier. In general, Mandalay desires to sleep pretty early, but also early he wakes up, so you will find it without much difficulty, where to eat in the morning. Tea and small cafes are full of local residents already from 6 am, when the food is fresh and hot.
Be sure that the entrance to the cafe "MIN MAHAR CAFE" It will be fascinated by parked by bikes even earlier than the clock is trying 6 in the morning. In this place you can try all kinds of noodles, rice with different sauces, Indian naan cake, traditional soups or fried bread, which is called ja-quid. These small restaurants in the city are only three: at the corner of the 38th and 82nd streets and the 23rd and 86th streets, as well as on 26 streets between the 88th and 89th streets (such indigestive names in the city) .
SHWE PYI MOE CAFE - This is a tea, which opens its doors about 05:00. By the way, it is a cafe at the first stop of the transfer miniva of Golden Myanmar Air (that is, next to Sedona Hotel on the 66th Street, between the 26th and 27th streets). In this cafe, it is possible to have a very solid breakfast, however, there is no guarantee that after 9 am for you there will be something good. So, come there early to try the thick coconut noodles and delicious Rich Mohinga soup. Also in this restaurant, indian cuisine and breakfasts in the form of potato curry and pellet Naan are prepared.
Markets
Most markets in Mandalay do not offer a large number of trays with local fast food. However, on Night market Shan Located on the 34th Street (between the 77th and 76th streets), is famous for its small number of food shops (naturally, rather poorly looking), where you can eat hot tofu with noodles and dumpings and at night (but not too late).
Shan restaurants
Schans are the people of Myanmar, childlike lazzains (however, they also inhabit a partially territory of China, Thailand and Laos). In Mandala, you can look into the restaurant of their traditional cuisine and taste it. For example, in the West of the city - these restaurants there are most. Sometimes the Shanskaya cuisine is described as the best local Burma food: food is sharp (but not all dishes), and as a rule, less fat, than traditional Burmese dishes. To taste these exists, go to the area between the 23rd and 84th street. "Lashio Lay Shan" (No. 69, 23rd Street; between 83 and 84 streets) - one of the restaurants of the Shanskoye Kitchen "Lashio" in Myanmar. On the restaurant showcase will see ready-made dozens of types of curry, dishes from vegetables and meat, which can be eaten with rice and side dishes. Prices in this network are low, and the quality of food is satisfactory.
"Golden Shan" (84 Street, between 22 and 23 streets) is a fantastic place for a hungry tourist. For about 4000 kyat, you will get everything you can wish: a surprisingly delicious buffet with all sorts of Shanskoye dishes. Tired foreign travelers are often returned for the second and third portion!
Indian restaurants
Indian food - Hit in Mandalay. Maranina very likes to local residents, and like the local residents - it is very decently prepared there.

For very little money, you get curry, several different garnings and rice. Another place for Indian cuisine, which can be recommended - Street Cafe "NAY CAFE" . There is a cafe directly opposite the Unity Hotel (at the corner of the 27th and 82th streets). By the way, it is interesting how practically a deserted "naked" district turns closest to the evening of the tables and crowding around these tables of people who came to reinforce Curry and, for example, branch brains, which are served with extremely popular and surprisingly delicious Capati bread.
Western cuisine
"Hunter's Cafe and Bar" (No. 167, 27 Street, between 80 and 81 Streets) offers the best parmesan chicken and the most raw hamburgers in Burma. For 4-5,000 kyatov, you will be fashionable with a dish of European cuisine, and the portions are impressive.

Here you will find hamburgers, pasta, seafood and steaks. And still liquor, beer and complex cocktails. The restaurant is a bit expensive, but it is ideal for those who managed to tire from local cuisine.
Night life
Mandalay, as I noted above, wakes up early, and nightlife there is rather poor. Most places close by 23:00, but you can still find a couple of breakfasts and barbecue restaurants in the vicinity of the city. That to the pubs - then this, for example, Rainbow (Angle of 23 and 84a) is almost the only one in these parts (at least not far from a number of budget hotels and guest houses in that area). Excellent such beer, with a TV, where sport events often show. Since the barbecue is so-so, it is possible before being filled with beer, go into one of the three Shan restaurants located 50 meters from this pub.
"Diamond Plaza" Also concentrated next to you several beer and tea, beer stations and tea, which linen 77th Street. In this place, the locals are very liked to hang out, which for the tourist interested is very useful. These places are as very comfortable for Relax after a short visit to the Night Market Shang or after watching the movie in the cinema inside the shopping center. If none of these institutions are impressed, go to "Beer King" In half the quarter north of "Diamond Plaza", opposite the Internet cafe (if it still will work). Beer King (next to the 77th ST, between the 32th and 33rd streets) is the only beer, where you can recommend at the same time and eat, because food there is quite high quality and prepared very well.
