If you're looking for a spot that checks all the boxes—delicious food & cocktails, and a vibe that perfectly transitions from day to night—Café LakeSide is it.From traditional favourites to comforting, indulgent international fare, you can’t go wrong. The cocktails are a perfect complement.Every corner of the space has been carefully curated, creating a laid-back yet chic atmosphere. A perfect spot to unwind, have a leisurely meal, or even get some work done - the vibe is just right for productivity without feeling sterile.But what truly makes this place special is the staff. Always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, they create an experience that feels personal and warm. The cherry on top is the music. Day or night, one thing is clear: the playlists are as carefully curated as the menu.Whether you’re in the mood for a quick coffee or an afternoon of relaxation, Café LakeSide won’t disappoint. Come for the food, stay for the vibe.

I had a great experience at this cafe! The coffee was rich and smooth, the perfect start to the day. The avocado toast was fresh and tasty. I also tried the aloo poori, which was delicious and comforting, with the perfect balance of spice. The sandwich was hearty and tasty, packed with fresh ingredients. The English tray breakfast was a lovely surprise, with a nice variety of items that were all well-prepared. The food was fresh, and the service was friendly. Highly recommend

This is a very nice eatery located just beside the Nainital Lake. We did boating in front of this cafe as there's one boating point over there and then enjoyed our brunch. We tried soups which were really amazing in the cold weather outside and pastries which were yummy. I personally liked the Belgian Truffle.

A famous and extremely busy cafe on the Nainital Mall road. This place was highly recommended by some of our friends and we weren’t at all disappointed. Although we had to wait a while for the tables to be free it was well …

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lake Side Inn twice in one day, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! During our afternoon visit, we ordered pasta, sandwiches, chai, and spring rolls — all of which were delightful. Each dish was prepared perfectly and bursting with flavor.Our server, Pradeep, truly made our experience exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. His recommendations were spot on, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable.To top it off, the view from the restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. Eating while taking in the lovely scenery was a highlight of our visit.I highly recommend Lake Side Inn for anyone looking for delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere. We certainly enjoyed our time there and can’t wait to return!
