La Bella View Restaurant

Our restaurant is located near the Om Hotel over by Laxman Jhula in Rishikesh. We’re tucked away in the Pauri Garhwal side of things. It’s a beautiful area, though it gets very crowded with tourists and pilgrims during the season. We’ve been here for a while, just running this small kitchen. We don't have a big corporate team, just a few of us who live nearby and work here every day. The view is nice, which is why we picked this spot, even if the walk up can be a bit much for some. We keep the place simple. The tables are basic and the menu is mostly things we know how to cook well. Sometimes the power goes out, but that’s just how it is in the hills. We handle the cleaning and the shopping ourselves, often going down to the main market for fresh stuff. We don’t spend money on fancy ads. People usually find us while they are walking around the Laxman Jhula area. It’s a lot of work, especially when it’s hot, but we like being part of the community here. We aren't trying to be the biggest place in Rishikesh. We just want to keep the kitchen running and serve whoever walks through the door. It is a quiet life when the tourists aren't around.
