Gourmet Feasts

If you are the non-veg foodie, the best option for breakfast and snacks is Keventer's. It has its own piggery, so the pork products including cheese, bacon, pork and ham are the must-haves here. Sweet-lovers should not miss out on Glenary's for its most sinful chocolate rolls, pastries cinnamon buns, croissants, quiches and jam tarts - all home-made! SuperSoft Ice-Cream Parlour has the creamiest handmade ice-creams and light snacks. Or walk down to Stardust, which serves the best hot chocolate in the world and an amazing vegetable stew. Also, check out the food stalls at the Lower Bazaar, which sell everything from chowmein to momos. Dekevas has the most amazing offering of thukpa, momos and the most heavenly chilli chutney! For vegetarians, the best option would be at Jain Jaika Restaurant at Laden La Road or at Darjeeling Planter's Club. You can also dine at some of the hotels, even if you aren't staying there. Just remember to make a prior reservation. For some of the most heavenly tea, head out Nathumulls at Laden La Road, which has all possible varieties.
