Best 3 Places in Darjeeling to Eat



Best 3 places in Darjeeling to eat:

Darjeeling is a tiny city lying over the lap of Himalaya, handcrafted by the British Government. The place still carries away the old colonial fragrance in her paths and alleys. Old colonial architecture, black cobble stoney lanes can bring you back in 19th century India. Though the city is enlightened with technology and modernism, few restaurants and hotels are best to serve you with typical English warmth. I am going to put some places that will astound you:


Glenary's:

Glenery's is a vintage restaurant holding onto the heart of Darjeeling mall. From drinks to the bakery, here has a large variety of Indian and continental food items. Live music is also performed here from 8pm.

  • Every bakery items are mesmerizing like chicken cheese pie, red velvet cake, blueberry cake, etc.
  • Do not forget to taste their pizza and steaks.

Keventer's Darjeeling was founded in 1911 and the charm here is still the same. From Darjeeling mall, Keventer's is 5 to 7 min walking away. This place attracts tourists for its exotic English breakfast. You can stimulate your day with Darjeeling tea and steaming breakfast while observing the beauty of Kanchanjangha.

Pocket Pinch:

500 for two people. Alcohol is not served here.


Hot Stimulating Cafe:

If you are looking for homely hospitality and lip-smacking local food under the safe roof then this is your place. This place is a little distant from the urban cacophony located in Lebong Cart Road, Richmond Hill.
Must Hop:

  • The old proprietor couple serve Homemade  Beer 'Tongba' in bamboo glass 5pm which is worth trying.
  • Fried momos and chowmein are the absolute delicacies here.

Footnote:


Momos
  • HSC is a small tinned-roof cafe so if you are looking for something fancy then it is not your cup of tea.
  • They do not serve Tongba before 5pm so adjust your schedule accordingly.
  • There is a direct path to reach here through the hill, use the help of the local people otherwise 'Google lady' will kill your time.

Pocket Pinch:

300 rupees for two people
