The best restaurants Uttarakhand

Popular restaurant established in 1968 to feed the mass of pilgrims coming to Haridwar. In a modern and air-conditioned room, they serve good dishes from the south of the country(masala dosa, idly, etc.), and dishes from the north of India, such as the very good chole bathura (chickpea curry with fried bread). Some Chinese recipes, sandwiches and drinks are also on the menu. The menu is quite extensive, it is difficult to make a choice. However, we prefer the original establishment in Rishikesh, the neighbor of Haridwar.

We eat very well and prices are not exaggerated. Dosas dosas are particularly copious and delicious. The best address of the city. On the other hand, the hotel, very noisy, is not up to the height.

One of the oldest restaurants in the city. On the first floor there is a cafe, where snacks and pastries are served. On the upper floors, the tavern, which offers a wide choice of correct dishes but at prices well above average, as well as alcohol, wine and beer. The Indian recipes are excellent, especially those cooked in the tandoor which are the specialty of the place. The setting is resolutely mountainous with woodwork. Sports events broadcast on the screens even give it an Irish pub feel.

This restaurant has a small terrace with a spectacular view of the Lakshman Jhula Bridge and the Trimbakeshwar Temple. It serves breakfasts, Indian dishes, pizzas, lasagne, burgers, falafel, hummus, momos... but also excellent fresh fruit juices. Most of the recipes are made with local organic products. An address where it is good to stroll while watching the comings and goings of passers-by on the bridge.

An institution in Rishikesh! This vegetarian restaurant is famous for its living mascot (we'll let you be surprised) which is enthroned at the entrance of each establishment. South Indian cuisine, North Indian cuisine, Chinese dishes, sandwiches... Three Chotiwala establishments in Rishikesh, two in Swargashram in the street that leads to Ram Jhula, and one in Mun-Ki-Reti that enjoys a nice view on the Parmarth Niketan ashram, located on the other side of the river, the Chotiwala By The Ganges, which is definitely our favorite establishment of the branch!

Four small stalls lined up, close to St. Paul's church in Landour, mainly frequented by students from the nearby Woodstock School. The food is simple, but the place is especially popular with travelers for its friendly atmosphere, the kindness of the shopkeepers and the great view. Sit on the terrace to enjoy the place. You can enjoy snacks(parotha, omelets, sandwiches, maggi noodles), sweet pancakes, and of course hot drinks (different kinds of tea and coffee).

This friendly establishment offers Tibetan specialties( porkmomos, mutton momos, vegetable momos, thugkpa, etc.) as well as Chinese and Thai dishes with great success. The red painted restaurant is spread over two floors and is located near the post office, you can't miss it! An excellent choice for lunch. Some cakes and desserts are also offered, including a very good lemon cheesecake. Feel free to leave your opinion on a paper napkin, as many customers have done before you.

Located on the left bank of the Ganges, at the top of a (very steep) iron staircase, this restaurant attracts a rather young clientele, fond of sweet delicacies. Café Royale has built its reputation on its delicious desserts, but it also serves very good savory food. We tried the best pizza ever tried in India! The long room opens on a terrace overlooking the Ganges. Another nice asset is the very welcoming owner. As everywhere else in Rishikesh, you have to take off your shoes before sitting down.

Of the three cafés lined up in the passage that leads to Laxman Jhula, this one is the nicest. Just look at the crowd that crowds in, the seats are expensive. Meals are taken sitting on the floor, on thick cushions on the large terrace which overlooks the river and offers a superb view of the temple of Sita Ram Dham. The menu offers a choice of salads, pasta, Indian dishes cooked with fresh products. In the evening, musicians often come to put a little atmosphere.

Halfway between a café and a restaurant, this establishment ticks all the boxes. The entrance is elegant and makes you curious to see what is going on inside. The room is very pleasant, the setting original and nice with its large blackboard and school chairs, a varied menu, delicious dishes and a large choice of coffees. If you feel like changing from Indian cuisine, don't hesitate to come here, the pizzas and the burgers (without beef) are delicious. Excellent cakes too. The order is taken at the counter.
