Signature Dishes at Our Café in Jibhi
Siddu – Himachali Specialty
You can't visit our café in Jibhi without trying siddu, the traditional Himachali bread. Made from wheat flour and stuffed with a paste of poppy seeds or walnuts, siddu is steamed for hours until perfectly fluffy. We serve it hot with pure ghee and sometimes with mutton curry for non-vegetarians. This authentic dish offers a taste of centuries-old Himachali culinary tradition.
Fresh Trout from Tirthan River
Our most popular dish! Tirthan River, just 1 km away, is famous for its trout. We source fresh trout and prepare it either grilled with herbs or pan-fried with light spices. The fish is incredibly fresh – sometimes caught the same morning – and offers a delicate, mild flavor that seafood lovers appreciate. This is mountain-to-table dining at its finest.
Himachali Thali
For those wanting to experience authentic regional cuisine, our Himachali Thali is perfect. It includes multiple traditional dishes served in a complete meal – typically featuring madra (chickpea curry in yogurt gravy), kachalu (spiced potatoes), local greens, dal, rice, roti, raita, pickle, and papad. This thali gives you a comprehensive taste of Himachali flavors in one sitting.
Mountain Coffee with Views
Our carefully brewed coffee has earned a reputation among caffeine enthusiasts visiting Jibhi. Whether you prefer filter coffee, cappuccino, or simple black coffee, we take brewing seriously. Pair it with our mountain views for the perfect start to your day.

The ambiance at our café in Jibhi perfectly balances cozy comfort with natural beauty. The interior features warm wooden furnishings, large windows framing valley views, and soft lighting that creates an intimate atmosphere in evenings. During pleasant weather, our outdoor terrace becomes the preferred spot – there's something magical about dining al fresco surrounded by Himalayan peaks.
The café isn't just about food; it's a social space. You'll often find travelers exchanging trek experiences over coffee, remote workers focused on their laptops during quiet mornings, and couples enjoying romantic dinners under the stars. This natural mingling creates a welcoming community feeling that guests appreciate.
