Idli, biryani, momos… the list of everyday favourite foods can get repetitive, for the lack of a better word. However, some restaurants and cafes in Vizag go to new lengths to introduce fresh and interesting dishes to local foodies. With the city’s food scene being in a slow incline of development, these spots have come to be the only places where you can eat certain rare foods in Visakhapatnam. For those of you who want a break for the ordinary, here’s a helpful list:

1. Sourdough Bread at Breadway

Carb-lovers, ditch your brown and white bread for a change and try Sourdough Bread from Breadway in Ram Nagar! A chemical-free artisanal bakery, Breadway is the only spot where you can place an order for this rare food item in Vizag. This bread, complex and chewy, can be the perfect base for some delicious homemade sandwiches. Do keep in mind that you need to place an order two days in advance!

2. Russian Honey Cake at Maaya

Also known as Medovik, the Russian Honey Cake is a masterpiece of caramelized honey layers and tangy sour cream filling.

3. Crème Brûlée Latte at Bean Board, Visalakshi Nagar

Imagine sipping on the flavors of the classic French Crème Brûlée—rich custard with a crackly caramelized sugar top—but in the form of a latte! This indulgent drink is served only at Bean Board in Visalakshi Nagar, making it a must-try for coffee lovers who enjoy a dessert-like twist to their caffeine fix.

4. Cheese Wheel Pasta at Brew n Cue

Straight from the heart of Northern Italy, Cheese Wheel Pasta (Pasta alla Ruota) is a rare sight in India, let alone Vizag! This luxurious dish involves tossing freshly cooked pasta inside a giant hollowed-out cheese wheel, allowing the cheese to melt and coat the pasta perfectly. You can experience this ultimate cheesy delight exclusively at Brew n Cue in Dwarka Nagar, a continental bistro serving Italian, Mexican, Korean, and Oriental cuisine.

5. Shepherd’s Pie at Upland Bistro

A British and French favorite, Shepherd’s Pie (also known as Cottage Pie or Hachis Parmentier) is a comforting dish of minced meat topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked to golden perfection. If you’re craving this homely, savory classic, Upland Bistro in Waltair Uplands is the only place in Vizag where you’ll find it.

On the food front, Vizag is slowly but surely expanding, bringing global flavors and rare delicacies to town. Whether it’s a warm slice of sourdough bread, a rich Russian dessert, or a luxurious pasta dish, these places in Visakhapatnam are exclusively serving these rare, must-eat foods.
