The Restaurant, Oberoi Cecil

The restaurant has a colonial feel to it, which adds to the beautiful atmosphere. You’ll enjoy everything about this restaurant, from the cosy tables to the chandelier-lit main hall or private dining room! It serves Pan-Indian and foreign cuisine, including Himachali cuisines from the region. Fish and Chips, Roasted Chicken, Tiramisu, and Baileys Crème Brûlée are all worth trying.

 

Eighteen71 Cookhouse And Bar

This funky-looking café serves delectable Pan Indian and Oriental cuisine as well as live grills in a modern setting. The Nachos Loaded With Cheese, Stir Fried Tofu, Fried Fish With Sambal, and their heady nitrogen cocktails *hic* are all worth trying.

 

Himachali Rasoi

If you’re seeking the actual spirit of Himachal on a plate at extremely inexpensive costs, check out this establishment, which is located near the well-known Baljees Restaurant. The food is served with rice in the centre and a medley of foods around it, and the dishes have truly interesting names. Try one of their Thalis, Sidu, Chana Madra, or Dham.

 

Open Garden Terrace Restaurant

This hidden gem can be found just outside the Hills Edge Restaurant, which offers stunning views over Shimla. It offers an extensive multi-cuisine menu, as well as a live BBQ and a fantastic bar. The Asian and Thai cuisines are particularly good.
