From historic forts to ancient caves, pristine beaches, there is nothing that Dapoli doesn't have. No wonder why this relatively unexplored site is now an emerging tourist hotspot, especially for the weekend destination travellers. 

Restaurants and Local Food in Dapoli

The local cuisine here is that of Malvani food known for it's spicy food of curries and fries.
Being close to the Konkan side and Goa, little of Konkani Cuisine has also seeped in, thus you can find konkani styled fresh sea-food and Kokum Juice which is a refreshing drink to have during summers. Solkadhi-rice with fresh sea-food is a famous local meal.
