To truly feel like royalty, head to the Bar Palladio in Narain Niwas Palace Hotel. This place is decked up in a regal style with chessboard floors, rich wall murals, carvings and grand stairways. The peacock blue-interiors also feature white Mughal-style carvings, archways and luxurious sofas. The patio has plenty of canopies and serves as a semi-secluded spot for enjoying quiet, candlelit meals under the stars. Start your meal with an Ayurvedic drink or herbal tea and go on to savor Norwegian Smoked Salmon Plate or Vegetable Tempura as appetizer. This is followed by Italian mains and desserts, along with flavorful mocktails. Truly, Bar Palladio is the perfect place for a romantic meal with a royal touch.

Treat yourself to eclectic Rajasthani and Continental cuisine served at Jaipur's Mandawa Haveli restaurant. The interiors of this place may not be not opulent, but this is suitably compensated by the dishes, beautifully prepared and presented onto your table. 'Gattha Gari' (Fried Gram Flour Dumplings), 'Pappad Ki Sabzi' (Fried Poppadums in Curry) and 'Lal Maas Curry' (Red Meat Curry) are a must try among the traditional Rajasthani dishes. Wash these down with a glass of red wine or vodka to complete the delightful course. Also for those who cannot afford the indulgence of a leisurely meal, Mandawa Haveli also offers quick takeout and delivery services for patrons who are always on the go.
In a city where the nightlife options are decidedly inadequate, a place like Riva always comes as a refreshing change. Sleek dark wood interiors accentuated by subtle lighting is out-and-out contemporary; something not oft seen in this rustic city. With perfect music, a drink in hand and panoramic views of Jaipur's skyline, there could not be a better way to live it up. Before heading to Riva's, grab a quick bite at Aqua Grill or Colours. All the in-house restaurants in Park Inn are a class apart, and it looks like each of them has surpassed the other in hospitality.
