A morning at City Palace means courtyards, museum galleries and a lot of walking. By the time you come out, lunch is the next decision, and the easiest choice is a restaurant near City Palace Jaipur that keeps you inside the walled city.
How do you pick a restaurant near City Palace Jaipur?
Choose a place you can reach without a long auto ride, that seats your whole group together, and that serves food your family eats. For a vegetarian family, a pure veg kitchen removes the need to check every dish. For a first visit, a set thali saves the time spent reading a long menu.
Opening hours matter too. Some old city places shut between lunch and dinner, so confirm hours if you plan a late meal.
Is there a pure veg restaurant near City Palace?

It is on the first floor above All Rajasthan Shilp Gram Udyog, Rajamal Ka Talab Road, Gangori Bazaar, Jaipur 302002. Check the walking route on a map from the palace gate you leave by.
The restaurant is open every day from 10 AM to 11 PM, so a lunch that runs late is not a problem.
