Wildflower Hall Restaurant

Himachal Pradesh

LoginSave

This timelessly refined restaurant offers indoor, conservatory and terrace dining, the latter with superlative views towards the distant Himalayan panorama. It's open to nonguests but only with advance reservations (available when hotel occupancy is low).

The top-notch food offers a wide and imaginative spread of flavours: how about balsamic glazed pork belly, Thai massaman curry, walnut-spinach ravioli, parmesan-crust chicken with asparagus and olive couscous or pineapple-and-chilli salmon. And so much more.
