OM Freedom Cafe:

Located in the heart of Rishikesh, this café rests on the upper floor of an apartment complex. The city offers breathtaking views from most vantage points, but if there is one place mostly preferred by tourists who are on a budget – away from fancy establishments where they have to be dressed up for lunch – it’s this café.

Ira’s Kitchen and Tea Room:

Some say that in this corner of the world there exist places that give meaning to one’s life. Further, others claim that these places are more than just scenic locations but rather a cultural expression of the people living in these homesteads.

There is no mention of whether it is the view that never gets spoiled by any other building or if it is about the taste of food served at Ira’s kitchen and tea room but what we find truly impressive is how it manages to evoke your creative spirit every time you have some of their delectable menus in hand!

A Tavola Con Te:

This restaurant will take your taste buds on a tour of Italy like never before.
