More than just meals, dining here is an experience—a flavorful journey through Coorg’s rich food culture, served with care and authenticity. Whether you’re a foodie or simply someone who enjoys hearty, homemade dishes, book a resort in coorg is sure to impress.

What sets the food apart is its rootedness in tradition. The School Estate takes pride in serving dishes that reflect the essence of Kodava cuisine, a unique regional fare known for its robust flavors, fresh ingredients, and deep cultural significance. From pandi curry (a spicy pork delicacy) to akki roti (rice flatbread) and seasonal vegetable preparations, every dish tells a story. Meals are made using age-old family recipes, and local spices and herbs bring out the distinctive taste of Coorg.

The dining experience is intimate and homely. Rather than a large, impersonal restaurant setup, meals are served in a cozy, shared dining area or sometimes even outdoors if the weather allows. The ambience is relaxed and personal, often giving guests a chance to interact with the hosts or fellow travelers over a shared table. It feels less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.

For those who prefer international or lighter options, the estate offers a good balance. While the spotlight is on local cuisine, you’ll also find continental and pan-Indian choices made with the same attention to freshness and detail. Vegetarian meals are just as flavorful, featuring dishes that highlight Coorg’s love for wild greens, lentils, and local produce.

One of the most memorable moments for many guests is the breakfast spread. Imagine sitting on a veranda with a view of the misty hills, sipping freshly brewed Coorg coffee, and enjoying a mix of local and continental breakfast options—homemade jams, farm-fresh eggs, dosa with chutney, or fluffy pancakes. It’s the perfect way to start your day.

Guests who take an interest in the food often get to chat with the cook or even watch a dish being prepared in the traditional Coorgi way. The estate encourages curiosity and offers a glimpse into how food is not just nourishment here, but a part of the cultural identity.

At The School Estate, every meal is an opportunity to connect—with local flavors, with fellow travelers, and with the land itself. It’s comfort food with a twist of tradition, served in a setting that makes it taste even better.
