Chandigarh, one of the greenest cities in the country, has beautiful views in monsoon. Nothing beats watching the rain while sipping a warm cup of coffee (or tea, if you prefer) and tucking into a delectable meal. While building bylaws prohibit skyscrapers, you can take advantage of the views at restaurants and cafes throughout town that offer cozy, window views.
Here are a few of people's favorite things to do while enjoying beautiful views.
Round the Clock, Hotel Mountview
This 24-hour coffee shop in the Hotel Mountview is well-known for its cold coffee, pav bhaji, and, of course, the view. The uninterrupted views of the green lawns and pool are provided by the seamless glass panes. A good choice for long conversations because the music is always mellow here.
Cloud 9, Hotel Shivalik View
The location of this restaurant on the sixth floor of Hotel Shivalik View is advantageous. On one side, the multi-cuisine restaurant overlooks the cricket stadium, and on the other, Sectors 22 and 17. The buffet is famous, so we recommend you go during lunch hours. The view of the massive roundabout and landscaping is beautiful.
The Upstairs Club
Located in the Welcomhotel Bella Vista in Panchkula, it offers panoramic views of the city and the Shivalik range. The rooftop restaurant and bar, located on the sixth floor, has plenty of seating both outside and inside. Even if you're inside, the view is unaffected. Known for its weekly events and musical performances, its menu features popular favorites from various cuisines. You can also select your own coffee beans for a customized brew.
Elante Courtyard
The Elante Mall is unquestionably a popular hangout during the week. While there are many restaurants within the mall, we prefer the Courtyard here when it's raining outside. The outdoor seating area with umbrellas, English-style benches, and tables are ideal.
Sukhna Lake
It is the most touristy spot in town, but it also serves comfort food and has a beautiful view of the hills and the city's lake. The Sukhna Lake compound's food court is best known for its Channa Bhatura and Masala Dosa. On a rainy day, hot coffee is ideal.
