So if you are planning to take your bike (after all Ladakh is the ultimate biking destination), Ladakh can be extremely adventurous.

Best Food Places in Leh

The town offers a good variety of the Tibetan cuisine, so that’s a must try. Head to The Tibetan Kitchen & the Lamayuru Restaurant for delicacies like Thukpa, Shabakley, Momos, & more. Try the Yak Cheese, a local delicacy which is rare & delicious.

Other restaurants I recommend are- Chopsticks for its Chinese, Bon Appetit for its ambience & food, Neha Snacks for north-Indian dishes & sweets, Gesmos for a pizza or burger, & La Piazzetta for avergae to good Italian food. If you’re up foor a good Punjabi meal, the restaurant in Leh is great. Seriously.

I’ll give you one great advice. In my 45 days in Ladakh, I only found a couple of nice places to dine at. The food is always between average and pretty-good, but considering how limited the resources are over there, you should feel lucky to even find Italian in Leh!
