The best restaurants Mcleod Ganj - Dharamsala

The 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.

A 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

A cosy place for breakfast. You can choose to sit on cushions in the room on the second floor, at a table or out in the sun on the terrace. The place smells of fresh coffee and freshly baked pastries. Savoury and sweet snacks (salads, quiches, cakes, etc.) and also excellent breakfasts on offer, fresh fruit juices, vegan vegetarian recipes, gluten-free... And, best of all, homemade croissants and pains au chocolat! Warmly recommended.

One 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.

Very close to the main square, this restaurant has a pleasant and elegant setting appreciated by all: locals, Indian and foreign travelers, international volunteer groups... The menu is quite extensive and offers the inevitable Tibetan specialties (momos, thukpas, mutton shabaklays, tingmo, etc.), North Indian dishes and some Western recipes. Nothing very stunning but the food is correct and the portions are copious. The service is prompt and friendly. Friendly and sometimes noisy atmosphere.

Located on 4 floors on the main square, you can't miss this must-see address in McLeod Ganj. The atmosphere is quite pleasant, even if the rooms are often full and the rooftop terrace is crowded. The menu is very extensive, with Indian, Tibetan and Chinese specialties, pizzas, salads, European dishes... The food is good but without surprise. You can enjoy your meal with a beer or a bottle of wine.

Lung 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.

This café is the perfect place to come and relax at any time. The menu offers a wide choice of drinks: lassis, teas, coffees, hot or cold depending on the season. But you should also come here to taste the delicious himachali thali which gathers 3 dishes of choice prepared during weddings or festivals, as well as two vegetables, dal and bread. Some more westernized suggestions will also delight the delicate palates (sandwiches, soups...). We like the cosy atmosphere, the rough wooden tables and the pictures of the local flora that decorate the walls.
