Manali Tehsil, Himachal Pradesh Food Guide: 10 Italian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Manali

April 8, 2020 Vergie Nakamoto

Discover Restaurants offering the best Italian food in Manali, Manali Tehsil, Himachal Pradesh. In Hinduism, Manu was said to have survived a great flood that destroyed the rest of the world. He then recreated mankind in this Kullu Valley town. What a rush, huh? No wonder the towering peaks and verdant terrain of Manali attracts adventure travelers, with heli-skiing, hiking, mountaineering and river rafting the favored active pursuits. Come down from your endorphin high by breathing deeply at the four-story, wooden Hidimba Devi Temple, which sits in the middle of a nearby deciduous forest, or take a medicinal soak in the hot springs burbling from the ground a 30-minute walk from town.

Tasty dishes made with good quality ingredients.I tried the musaka and it had nothing to do with a Greek musaka but was delicious anyway. It was a really small portion though, specially if compared to other dishes they have (biryany portions are huge).

Reviewed By JayavijayanRavi

Access to this place is through a narrow suspended bridge, which is tough. Good food. Motorcycle-theme based restaurant is well-designed. Even the flooring is asphalted with lane markings. Now, we are ready to check out as already informed the attendant. Not a soul is seen in the property, which is left unguarded. We are the only people in this property now. Phones are either switched off or not reachable. Our time is wasted while we are starved. We are not able to pay our bills and quit. Very bad experience. Perhaps, this is the special treatment meted out to us, the senior citizens. I am reducing the rating to a single star as I can't give anything below.

We reached Drifter's cafe quite early in the morning straight after our long journey from Delhi. The cafe wasn't open yet and the staff was still cleaning, but looking at our tired faces and heavy backpacks, they offered us to sit in the cafe, kept our luggage in their office and served us a quick tea. We spent around 3 hour there and had a great time. The owner & staff was very polite and friendly. The food was delicious and the music they played was amazing.Thanks alot ReetkaurWe are happy to help you to make most of you holidays, we are Glad that you loved our hospitality and sure to meet you soon againRegardsGarima

I had the tortelloni (lamb ragu inside, accompanied by light tomato sauce and thick sheared pieces of cheese and some leafy basil), which was easily the best western pasta dish this reviewer ever had in India. Service was professional, with bar menu on offer (cocktails, mocktails, etc.), which makes it feel very much like a western restaurant (but with Indian dishes on offer too). Note that if you are looking for both the restaurant AND the hotel, there are TWO Johnson establishments (right next to each other but divided by a garden / lot wall; walk out the lobby of each for 20 meters and you will be in the other place), each with its own restaurant. This Bar & Restaurant is with the Johnson LODGE. The Cafe is with the Johnson HOTEL. The hotels have separate concierges / receptions.Dear Guest, Thank-you for taking time to share your comments with us and for choosing us.We are very pleased to know that you appreciated professionalism of staff and enjoyed your culinary experience.We look forward to welcoming you again soon !!
