one of the prominent cafes ofmgmarg of gangtok, i have been to this place a number of times. but each time i enter their door, i take a deep breath because i have to survive their overpriced mediocre food to enjoy the beautiful view and ambience of the place.
the place is genuinely beautiful. the woodwork, the non-ostentatious furniture, the trinkets, the view from the window, the soft volume at which pop songs keep playing, everything comes together to form a wonderful experience. well spaced out tables with a cake and pastry display counter in the front, you would fall in love with the ambience.
unfortunately, ambience remains the best part of the place. i have had a wide variety of experience with service including a time i waited at the table for 10 minutes during a non busy hour, but no one came to take my order. so i left. other time, the servers were polite and service was fast.
the food and drinks are overpriced. you pay a premium for the view i guess. i would not have complained if the food and drinks were good. they are mediocre. there are much better and cheaper places in gangtok if good food at good price is your priority.
all in all, a beautiful place with mediocre food. try it out for yourself.
