Lonely Planet review for Glenary’s
This elegant restaurant atop the famous bakery and cafe receives mainly rave reviews: of note are the continental sizzlers, Chinese dishes, tandoori specials and the highly recommended veg gratin (especially if you’re off spicy food). We’ve heard a few grumbles that it’s coasting on its reputation, but most people love it.

mountainsentinel recommends this,
A scintillating crown jewel to the Queen of Hills, this luncheonette dating back to colonial times, reminiscent of a surreal old-world English decorum, is in a class of its own. Very rich. Very original. Even something as ubiquitous as bread is sacrosanct here, by virtue of its enticing aroma and also by virtue of the fact that Glenary's used to provide it for free to the 'Missionaries of Charity'.
The meat pie (in the baker shop) is a must try along with the exquisite chocolates and cookies (manufactured inhouse and sold by weight). The sitting area is set against a serene, almost divine, backdrop of Mother Nature in full crowning glory with the fresh mountain air playing the mischievous elf, soothing travel weary adventurers and inducing a state of inner calm.
Below the eatery is a classic exemplar of a London pub- "The Buzz", with reasonably priced drinks and smiling table assistants in traditional Gurkha attire. The USP is the band music (mostly local bands, performing both Western and traditional songs). All in all a great place to hang out in. Period. A lasting impression will be the ramification of this experience!Good for: atmosphere, food, Solo Travellers
