Make no mistake, while the city boulevards and avenues are lined with delightfully bright flowering trees, the large green parks are a sight to sooth the soul, Chandigarh still retains the epicurean love of all the good things in life.
Like food. The city’s cafes are not only the most picturesque, they also rustle up some real gastronomic delights. Instaworthy, right?

The hotel also hosts one of the best multi cuisine restaurants in Chandigarh.
- The Willow Cafe – If it’s tea, it has to be at this pretty English cafe with its pastel upholstery and soft flowers, the terrace garden and wooden tables.
