Superb food and service in an eco-setting with stunningly perfect views of the mountains. I loved the ambience and friendliness of the cafe!

Pathetic food !!!! . Wouldn’t recommend to anyone at all. We ordered pizza,chocolate shake, baked vegetables, garlic bread and some other stuff. I have attached pictures of food below, Just look at the garlic bread and pizza. 4 white breads with butter was served in...the name of garlic bread. About the Pizza, the base was undercooked ready made base. Baked vegetables and shakes were pathetic, we left the food like that, we didn’t even had half of it ! Charging bomb for bad food should be a crime I have never had such bad experience ever. Only the view and location is beautiful. That’s it. Everything else not at all recommended!More

This charming heritage hotel (a homestay) is tucked away among trees and gardens, away from the hustle and bustle of the more commercially-minded properties. The place is lovely, with lawns, flowers (especially gorgeous hydrangeas), towering oaks, deodars, walnuts and more, and quaint wrought iron garden...furniture set in the lawns, with the slope-roofed, stone cottage overlooking it all. Even just for the beauty of the place, this is worth visiting. The menu is not huge, but there's ample choice here. We ended up ordering two soups: pea and mint (with bacon bits, though a vegetarian version is also available) and chicken and noodle, followed by roast chicken (with gravy, fries and sautéed vegetables) and grilled prawns with chilli, garlic, tomatoes and green coriander (served with lightly toasted bread). For afters, we ordered apple crumble and warm chocolate cake, both served with vanilla ice cream; and filter coffee (they don't serve cappuccinos or other machine-made coffees; the filter coffee was good). Overall, the food was good (though there was too much oil in the prawns, and I do wish the toast accompanying the prawns had been more substantial bread - like a roll). This was a little on the expensive side, almost Rs 3,000 for the meal, but the food is good and the surroundings so special, we didn't mind.More

During our recent stay at Abbotsford, we had the opportunity to have a couple of meals at Cafe Chica. The setting is dramatic, al fresco surrounded by the greenery of the estate, against the backdrop of the hills on all sides. The food matches in...quality and taste the expectations one has of the setting itself. We mostly tried the continental offerings and enjoyed all of what we tried. Equally enjoyable were the coffees on offer. If in Nainital, highly recommend visiting Cafe Chica for a meal- the view and the food make for a remarkable experience.More
