Restaurants
Located across the road from the Emperor Hotel is the Hadaya Restaurant which has a range of coffees and juices as well as pastries. If you want cafe type food then this is a good choice.
Another option is the Three Five Restaurant which is two doors down from the Emperor Hotel and is a large Chinese restaurant which has a wide variety of dishes between USD 1-2. They also have free Wi-Fi.
Street Food
If you are keen to try the local food then the Morning Market which is located across the river is a good choice and you will find Burmese vendors selling fresh produce in the form of fruit and vegetables. The market also has some stalls selling snacks and simple noodle dishes.
Another good spot for breakfast is the Mote Hin Khar Soup Stand in front of Shwemawdaw Paya which is just a simple stall that sells delicious mote hin khar soup for under USD 1. You can also try the street food stands next to the local Clock Tower which sell dishes like curries and soups and also serve plenty of cold beer and make a good choice if you are looking for something to eat in the evening.
