CHOPSTICKS
Read moreLocated on the Mall, a restaurant that enjoys enormous popularity with tourists. The setting is modern and pleasant. And with good reason: the food is very good, the dishes are hearty and the service is fast. Success stories include mutton momos and Chinese chicken recipes. Dishes are made with organic ingredients, but may sometimes contain MSG (monosodium glutamate), so don't hesitate to specify if you don't want it on your plate. A beer or wine can be served with your meal.
KALIMPONG RESTAURANT
Read moreThe restaurant Kalimpong is a small family establishment not to be missed! Small room, few tables, we are a little tight but there is a comforting human warmth. Smiling reception and fast service. The menu is limited, which is usually a good sign. It offers Tibetan specialties made with fresh products: vegetarian momos, mutton, chicken or pork, various noodles, thukpas, thentuk, chili pork (excellent chili pork)... Everything is delicious! A warmly recommended address.
COMMON GROUND CAFE
Read moreA warm place not to be missed. The setting is very pleasant with wooden furniture; you can choose to sit on a sofa, cross-legged or simply on a chair on the small terrace. The cuisine offered is original and delicious (including Tibetan, Chinese and Taiwanese dishes). Several fresh cakes and pastries are also proposed. Very large choice of teas, excellent coffee in the percolator, fresh fruit juices... A quiet place to rest, far from the traffic and horns
SNOW LION HOTEL & RESTAURANT
Read moreOne of the best Tibetan restaurants in the city; the vegetable and cheese kothay is great! It is frequented by monks, locals and volunteers from NGOs working in McLeod Ganj. An interesting initiative: you can fill your empty water bottle for 5 Rs and thus reduce the impact of plastic bottles on the environment. This family-run establishment, which has been open for years, also offers decent rooms at affordable prices.
THE LAZY DOG
Read moreZen atmosphere in this quality bar-resto. The owner is Indian, but not from the area. Nice decoration, varied menu, healthy and original cooking (there is even sushi!) and very fresh products. Try a house cocktail, like the Flamingo made with cranberry, lemonade, pineapple and lemon juice, a shake and a smoothie. Recommended dishes include veggie or chicken bibimbap, soups or one of the breakfast options. On sunny days, sit outside; the view of the river and mountains is stunning. Live music in the evening.
LUNG TA JAPANESE RESTAURANT
Read moreLung Ta has been around for years, and is still going strong thanks to its original philosophy: serving authentic Japanese vegetarian dishes. Every day of the week, a different complete menu is offered: miso soup, sushi, soy steak, vegetable croquettes, coleslaw, fried tofu and steamed rice are all featured in these " special sets ". Excellent cuisine and meticulous presentation. The place also boasts a pleasant terrace. A well-deserved success.
45 THE CENTRAL
Read moreOn the second floor of a building on Mall Road, this small restaurant with midnight blue velvet benches offers a long room. On the menu, a mix of international and Indian cuisine. Sandwiches, pizzas or burgers served with crispy fries are served alongside vegetarian kebabs and chicken tikka. However, we recommend the Indian specialties, which are much more successful. On the other hand, the portions are a bit small. The result is quite appreciable and the atmosphere is nice. Just like the service.
