Valentino's second kitchen, at Jagatsukh on the Naggar road out of Manali. The menu is the one Kullu cooks — pizza and pasta, lasagne, cannelloni and ravioli, risotto, sizzlers and a full Mexican section, every dish vegetarian, with cheeses made in the village. Sit under the piano-key wall, in the wood-panelled room, or out on the terrace and the rooftop bar, where the glass and the railings look straight down the valley to the Himalayan peaks; there are books on the shelves, music, a fireplace for the cold months and vegan options. The kitchen runs from ten in the morning to nine at night, seven days a week.
