This cafe is an all rounder in my opinion. Amazing cafe food, the view and the set up is just excellent. I must give you heads up on their exclusivity though, you can’t just land their expecting a table because this place is in high demand amongst locals and tourists. So call in advance and make reservations. Enjoy, because I really did :)

Went looking for Café Diem because we had heard a lot about it. The pasta is made homemade and delicious.The safety measures are meticulous. They sanitise tables and chairs before they let you in. It takes time but very safe and clean.They work only on reservation so they only take 50% capacity for indoor seating. When we went it was raining so the outdoor seating area was closed. Must visit fir pizzas and their desserts.

Beautiful place. Amazing food. Make sure you call and reserve ahead of time. Its usually busy :)

Nice place...very nice food. The ambiance is amazing. Loved d decor. The service was excellent. Must visit place for desserts. Overall experience was superb. Remember to book in advance as thy do not allow walk ins.

Location : Its quite easy to locate, ample parking place available. Nestled away in seclusion with stunning views.Ambiance : Oh boy! Was I taken aback. Just mind blowing. Have been to umpteen no of cafes / restaurants, but nothing even comes close to this. Even the walk to the entrance is just so beautiful. The place was so refreshing on the eyes & it just shows how much care, thought process & work was involved to give us such an experience. From the furniture to the walls, to the cutlery + water bottle + even the cloth, had a special touch to it. And trust me, am not one for ambiance. I care only about the food, but this was the affect this place had on me. We were seated inside, as it was raining outside so could not get the amazing view but nevertheless mind-blowing.Food : The main highlight. We started off with tomato soup & on the recommendation of the owner, Mrs. Radhika we tried the Pumpkin soup as well! Just too good. If there is any place I would pumpkin soup again, its here & here only. Post soup we had the cheese garlic bread & falafel platter. The garlic bread was spendid, the bread fresh & soft. The main course, we left it on them itself to give us the best, so we were served a Mediterranean pizza & ravioli pasta if I remember correctly! The sun dried tomatoes on the pizza & olive sauce in the pasta, these two just made the already perfect food even better! Deserts we had the pomegranate cheese cake (It couldnt be more softer) and ice cream(something related to sandesh & jaggery), just awesome. The closing of this spectacular meal had to be done with piping hot filter coffee in the cold weather!Cost : Its a bit, slight bit on a higher side. A meal for four of us costed over 3k, but again trust me it was totally worth it. For the food, the experience & ambince offered it was worth every ruppee spent. They made us feel at home, spoke to us, made us comfortable & gave us an amazing experience.Overall, anyone visiting Ooty / Conoor I would highly recommend this place! Just go here & you wont be disappointed.P.S : Do book an appointment please well in advance.Sorry for the photos, didnt want to waste much time of this experience over the phone :)

Excellent place. Awesome food. What a view. Amazing. Must visit this place.

Beautiful views, good food & great staff.

It was a cosy , well decorated cafe ,sitting amongst lush greens.The view was spectacular.You have to call and book in advance.The cafe is a high end ,serving some really great dishes.For college students it might be a bit expensive.Also this cafe as a whole with its food is an experience. You have to keep an open mind and not compare it with fast food taste.The dishes are healthy, well proportioned and flavourful,and they have a great array of desserts.Its easy to find and has a picturesque route.We had fettuccine pasta ,- greatEgg salad sandwich - goodCafe diem platter - amazingMusroom pizza (ala funghi ) - bestGreat place for vegetarians as well.

Excellent location. Very good menu, good service. The Nilgiris are fortunate to have such an eatery.

Lunch today was spent at Cafe Diem, this sunny thurs afternoon. An experience i highly recommend, not just for its excellent cuisine but also for its amazing view. Its owner Radhika, and her Chef, joined us for awhile, and talked about how they are constantly innovating and adding to their menu.Their 10 table cafe sits under a beautiful open air tent with the Nilgiri hills stetching out in front of one.Our menu today was:Velvety mushroom soupPoached pear goat cheese salad with a chilli maple syrup dressingThai red curry with jasmine riceVanilla bean panacottaTrials :Potato cannelloni with broccoli and cheddar stuffingMini Beetroot tacos on a bed of guacomole with goat cheese stuffing and sour creamThe mini beetroot tacos are delicious!

This beautiful hidden gem, located on the Coonoor- Kotagiri road is truly sensational both in terms of ambience as well as the quality of food. In my opinion this along with the hygiene and the friendly staff makes this place a must see when visiting coonoor or kotagiri. The patio offers a stunning view for the perfect instagram photo. I would definetly reccomend checking this place out.

I would say my experience was pathetic at this place. The most overrated place I have ever been to. Last time when we went there, they said that they are jam-packed and theres no room for more bookings but finally when we got a table there, it was all vacant. Secondly, the guy who takes order keeps on standing on the head and one becomes really conscious and has to order in a hurry. This time when we went there, it was 11 A.M and again they had this tantrum of being jam-packed, which was a white lie. Again the cafe was all vacant. The serviettes were dirty with something spilled over them, the cafe mocha was served in a cup which was stained due to the spillage. The food is overpriced as per the quality and taste. Overall I had a terrible experience.

Cafe with a view is an understatement for this place. Please call and reserve a table in advance or they will turn you away because theres limited seating capacity. Food is delicious, view is stunning, must visit place if youre in the Nilgiris, bit far from ooty, but totally worth the trip.

Amazing pizzas.The entrance itself is through a magical green land. The vibe is so peaceful...Do visit...you will fall in love!

Had lunch here, we were 4 paxPleasant and cosy environment. Great service and great host. She personally attended to the guests.Vegetarian continental food at its Best.... Try the lasagna... SUPERB.Compliments to the chef, the staff and the host.

Cafe Diem is one of the few places that I feel completely safe during this pandemic. Radhika and her team take the upmost precaution to ensure everyones safety, including staff with proper PPE, a hand sanitizing station, temperature checks, and the enforcement of everyone wearing masks. As someone who lives in Coonoor, I get upset by the idea of tourists thinking they are somehow above these rules. And now, the menu: the food is absolutely incredible. As a lifelong vegetarian, this is one of the few places in the country where I can get both a veg meal and a Western one. While I love Indian food from across the country, my palette enjoys the subtleness of European/North America cuisine once in a while. Of particular note: The Cafe Diem salads and the cheesecake are the best you will eat ever, anywhere. Highly recommended!

Cafe diem is a complete experience. Set at the back of a beautiful house and garden. Food is exquisite and worth every buck.

The spot is an Absolute treasure, not only for its location but how beautifully it has been put together by the host Radhika. The personalisation comes through even in the food, be it the mains (loved the Pizzas), the desserts or the coffee. A must visit!

A lovely lil café with a breathtaking view nestled in lovely corner of Coonoor.This place has it all- the most amazing management and staff, the best food around for miles, and a view to die for.One can spend hours just taking in the ambience, and enjoying the perfect environment.In terms of food, the sour dough pizza is downright amazing. And the desserts just make it impossible to choose just one.They sometimes also have specials, which are a must try.A quick note, it might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance, specially if coming in a group.Overall, its truly special place, and Id love to be able to visit again, and again, and again.

Beautiful ambience, a perfect place to dine with your loved ones on a chilly rainy day... .very surprised to find a fine dining place in Coonoor hidden inside the beautiful woods.. just like the ones that one can find in the Europe..

Today wonderful yummy Food journey 😋( BBQ PIZZA) nice Team work nilgiris Beast Quality ingredients so please try.

First of all, the place is BEAUTIFUL! Its adjacent to the owners residence, which is beautiful in itself. The ambience, service, taste, everything is superb. One may find the prices to be on the higher side, but its all worth it. The falafel platter, Mediterranean pizza and the cheesecake, all are scrumptious. The customer service is excellent. They even served slices of their new BBQ sauce pizza, free of cost. The cheesecake is to die for! The owner, Radhika came in for a little chat, which adds to the overall experience and customer satisfaction. In a nutshell, you can visit Coonoor even for just this one place and you wont be disappointed. ❤️🍰🍕

Their Mediterranean pizza was awesome😊👌The outside seating and the view from there was heavenly😍. Super ice creams🍨 I recommend this cafe whole heartedly😊

A cafe/small restaurant that serves exceptional vegetarian food. The seating views outside are brilliant provided the weather conditions are condusive. The restaurant sources all ingredients locally and kicks up a brilliant menu. Reservations are recommended as the place is small and gets fills up quickly. Service is quick and once again, the food is out of the world.

Can there be a more personal and better dining experience? Id say itd be rareThe food was good, the ambience and interior was awesome, the staff was extraordinary.Getting there might a little task in itself but you would find it worth anyway.

, The new enclosure on the terrace , has added a whole new space, with a close-up of the fantastic view ,!unfortunately, the weather played spoilsport! Food was excellent, always.

This is a very pretty place to sit and have a meal or a coffee. The service is also warm and friendly. Its only vegetarian though and also offers gluten free foods. The cuisine has a bit of fusion stuff going on which could be a hit or a miss. We ordered the fig and cheese pizza with chili oil that felt too sweet . The desert was nice. Overall, choose well and you can spend a pleasant hour or two there.

Having amazing food with the scenic view of the nilgiris is a treat.The service was good, the food was excellent, the ambience was very good.Must try their tiramusu and BBQ pizza.

Poor hospitality and trying to create too much hype. We had booked our table at 4 PM but reached the cafe at 3:30PM. They made us to wait outside saying there is no vacant table. Even for using the restroom their staff had to call the manager get permission to send us inside before our Appointment. But when we went inside the cafe was literally empty with only one table occupied.Too much of hype not worth dining there. Very expensive and very less quantity. They don’t even provide tax bill after charging Rs 400 - 600 per dish.

When my friend asked me to visit Café Diem a vegetarian restaurant, I was not too keen to go. I am a daily meat eater and I was nit excited by this recommendation. However, my friends who had also heard about it and checked on Instagram convinced me to go with them. Thank God I went !The food was delicious and full of flavours. The salads were extra ordinary and the desserts are amazing. We had the savoury spinach tart, pizza, lasagna and ice creams. The chocolate mousse was too good. If I get veg food like this every day I wouldn’t miss being a carnivore.

Lovely café, great food and happy service staff. We enjoyed a soup, an onion tart, a sandwich and risotto, rounding it all up with a lemon tart, and enjoyed them all. Make sure to call ahead to make a reservation and ask for a table on the open patio!

Nestled inside Camelot Heights & then a pathway leading to the cafe through a private property which feels like an ultimate retirement home of the individual who had well planned a dream house is this cozy cafeThe cafe offers French & Italian cuisine and the best part is is a purely vegetarian placeYou should book in advance as you it might be difficult to find yourselves a table as there are limited seatsThe food is good but I felt it was little expensive for the quantity they served, but still I would recommend visiting this place for the ambience and the experience and also for a getaway from your usual cafeAmple parking space & a perfect place to find privacy

It’s bit expensive, however if you are on vacation this is a place must visit! It’s a beautiful place with nice view.Ratatouille pizza is my favourite and too yum! Go for it ❤️

Awesome food,great taste and very well managed and helpful staff with excellent service....

Quaint, picturesque, cosy settings. Excellent food. Warm service. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Loved the quaint cafe tucked in between the mountains. Beautifully decorated and kept with a plant paradise with great ambience and tastefully chosen interiors.Vegan options were there but the servers could be more aware and helpful for the price we pay. Wouldve loved some vegan milk options to go with coffee / hot chocolate in that cold weather.We had everything that was vegan on the menu, pizza, bruschetta, falafel platter, thai red curry, fig and walnut cake. Everything was great tasting.

Great location, excellent food and service. I recommend This Cafe....😍

Quality of the food was very good. Only let down is couple of vegan items in the menu were not available. The ambience was very good .

Yummiest food handcrafted with loads of love. The entire staff including the owner are very warm and you feel you are a guest in their house! Dont miss anything on the menu! To top it all, the place is beautifully done with each & every detailing taken care of!

The place has a lovely ambience and its a good getaway from the bustly tourist season.. The calm and vintage atmosphere really makes a difference in your eating experience.. There is a lot of work put in the decor and food.. It is worth trying.. I am a little disappointed thats it only veg.. But its worth trying and visiting...

A beautiful place to visit in Coonoor. Probably the best food in town! The ambience is so peaceful. And the food - its way too good. The mushroom tart is a must try here. The pizza and soups are also really good. The service is as good as the food. Very polite waiters. Favourite spot in town.

The main part about this place other than yummy food is the location of this place.You get a outside area to sit and enjoy the breathtaking views from there.And variety of dishes are available there like Italian pizza, Lebanese dishes, and much more. 😍 Desserts are just mouth watering.

Great ambience, delicious food, good service with very attentive staff and full adherence to the health protocol at present - can’t ask for more. Cafe Diem is the ideal place to get away to - whether for lunch or a coffee. And in present times would recommend their take aways too - esp the onion tart ❣️

A lovely cosy chic place with an international vibe and cuisine. The decor, ambience and knick knacks has a personal touch of the owner. The owner is hands-on in the cafe from 9am to 6pm. The strictly vegetarian menu is delightfully tasty and more than makes up for the lack of non-veg fare and wines and spirits. Carefully selected curios, stained glass, colored glass (with apron - a highlight) water bottles, each table decorated with unique table mats, one of kind salt and pepper dispensers, spic and span washroom, a fireplace in the center of the cafe giving a feeling of warmth and welcome. Last but not the least an unhindered and beautiful view of the nilgiri mountains.

Its very nice, cute and cosy cafe. Nicely decorated , and food is okay like. But its nice place for couples. Full of flowers makes you feel very pleasant and I wish to have such kind of nice house.

In the mist of beautiful tea gardens and hills is this nice, cosy cafe. The food is average but the desserts are definitely a must try. The pasta we ordered was fine but nothing special. The falafel platter was good. My personal favourite was the tiramisu.

Amazing food! Amazing Service! Amazing View!We were told by our hostel manager in ooty to visit this restaurant and said that it is the best cafe in India and they definitely lived up to it!The food is really delicious and unique! We had Moroccan rice, risotto and a pizza which we were told is not available anywhere else. The chef himself takes the order here which gives a really good heads up to the service!Do try the coffee! Its really great! The beans are sourced from the surrounding hills and they smell very very good. So good that I ordered because of the smell!You do need to take a reservation before you go because it is always full!

One of the best vegetarian food weve ever had. Never knew vegetarian food could be so fabulously made. This in a classy ambiance and great view of the Nilgiris

Fantastic place. Exclusive food, ambience and location. Nurtured with love and affection and kept open for visitors to enjoy! Not to be missed. Do call ahead and reserve your tables as this is a small cozy place.

Amazing food....but portions are small for the price....Other than that...the cafe has such a warm and cute vibe....They have a wide variety of food and all dishes made to perfection.Desserts were also too good.Staff was very polite and the host herself keeps on checking to make sure all the guests are comfortable

Food was good. Just that its a bit pricey

Yummy food in a quaint little place with a beautiful view..lovely hospitality. We were a group of 8 ..so we ordered quite a variety. Everything was great...specially the Tiramisu and the Mushroom risotto. We will definitely be visiting again very soon

Not really an enjoyable place. The owners of the place have a house right in front of the cafe, thus restricting photography. And the taste doesnt justify the price. There are better places for a hangout than this. Only good thing was the ambience.

An amazing quirky lil beautiful cozy cafe.. must visit. Do a reservation and go for a better experience.. both the outdoor seating and indoor seating are amazing experiences..Good food.. we tried1. Pumpkin and coconut soup - 5/5 very nice2. Broccoli cheese balls - 4/53. Goat cheese, fig and honey, chilly Oli pizza - could be improved but a very interesting pizza4. Aglio e Oli spaghetti (homemade wheat spaghetti) - 5/55. Pomegranate cheesecake -2/5 needs more setting not worth the hype :(6. Banana cake - decent simple cakeIrrespective of what you have the place and experience is just worth it. A sweet simple service and the owner was in the café and guiding and fun to strike a conversation with her.. thanks for the experience.. cant wait to come there again..One of the highlighting points is that it is a vegetarian café!!

Amazing food and ambience. Everything has been done with so much detail to it. Its surprising!

NanditamongiaNew Delhi, IndiaReviewed 4 days agoA friend quizzed Is this why you visited Coonoor? and i said Absolutely! A delightful experienceCafe Diem.....how to put in words the unique experience of warmth ,comfort, beauty and satiation all wrapped in few hours of relishing gourmet food and soaking in a hilltop cafes ambiance in the Nilgiris!!!! Created and lovingly nurtured by Its owner Radhika, it carries the unique stamp of a fun loving, much traveled creative being, lover of nature, places and people . The decor, the curios, the menu cards and of course the multi layered menu itself speaks out to you.. come visit, stay. Even the well dressed up water jars and bottles seem to say come again, soon.And that is what we did during our short stay in Coonoor. We enjoyed lunches and brunches on three consecutive days trying to demolish the menu...but the amazing variety still beckons. The fresh crunchy salads, fresh soups, pizzas, pastas, risotto, bruschetta were all unique in taste, flavor, color...doing justice to Greek and Italian cuisine. The fresh ingredients sourced by Radhika and her team from far and wide ( including Kolkata) lent themselves to original recipes created by the cafe and are to die for. Who can forget the nolen gur ice cream or the mirchi ice cream or the various cheeses on gourmet salads!Bottom line...have to go back again and again

Good food, good vibes, great locale/

It should come as no surprise to anyone stepping into Café Diem to discover that its owner and the brain behind arguably the best eatery in Coonoor (or miles outside of it, for that matter), has spent over 25 years in the travel hospitality industry. From the time one steps in, every element that meets our 5 senses, tangible or otherwise, speaks of aesthetics, individuality and the finest in hospitality service.Greeting you at the entrance to the café is a rustic blackboard announcing the Day’s Specials. Handwritten in chalk it reminded me of lazy days spent ambling along cobblestoned lanes in quaint European towns, keenly inspecting every such board placed outside cafes for their specials of the day.The café itself is like entering a “Swiss-chalet-meets-the-rest-of-the-world”. High pinewood sloping ceilings swoop down to large picture windows overlooking a spacious open deck offering a stunning view of the hills and valley. Inside, no table setting looks alike. I learnt from Radhika Shastry, proprietor and owner, that even individual cruet sets have been handpicked by her on her numerous travels abroad and no two look the same. Neither do the tables and chairs. An eclectic collection indeed!We were greeted by her well-trained and impeccably mannered staff and offered a table next to the coveted window. What was handed to me next just blew me away. Turns out the menu is a hand painted illustrated depiction of the café exactly the way one sees it! What made it even more unique is that it was apparently the handiwork of one of her patrons who was inspired enough to translate the ambience on paper, leading to the idea of creating a menu out of it!We opted for their popular Pumpkin Coconut soup. Had read great reviews about this one and it did not disappoint. The perfect creamy combo of roasted pumpkin and coconut milk blended to perfection. This was followed by a Three Cheese Pizza on a sourdough base. Absolutely delightful amalgamation of blue cheese, mascarpone and feta with each distinctive characteristic coming together flavorfully. While we should have stopped right there I could not help but want to try out the Aglio-e-Olio which most Indian restaurants ruin by overcooking the pasta or making it saucy (sacrilege!). Luckily Café Diem got it on point with just the right amount of garlic, olive oil and chilli flakes without overdoing the assault on the palate. Bursting at the seams by now, we went safe on dessert with a cheesecake. Which was a pity really, because their desserts menu is as eclectic as their décor, ranging from panna cotta to a never-heard-of nolen gur ice cream! Having scraped the bottom of the dish I made a mental note to return soon enough for just desserts and a hot chocolate.This had been a classy meal in a classy setting.A shout out to the staff of Café Diem and to Radhika herself. I am sure it can be challenging to find trained staff in the Nilgiris for a café such as hers serving the finest of European cuisine. Yet not once did I find them lacking in etiquette or being ill informed about the nuances of the fare. Besides, Radhika makes it a point to visit each table to help make the right choice of order. And it is this personal involvement I am guessing that sets her establishment apart from the joe around the block. All in all a winner when it comes to location, view, ambience, cuisine and service. Just one word of warning – be armed with a prior booking to avoid disappointment as the place gets pre-booked well in advance.And don’t be dejected. There’s always a next time. Café Diem is here to stay.

Try the smoked Ratatouille pizzaz, I loved it. Not a big fan of the mushroom velvety soup though. But this cafe is more about the food ...its an experience in itself. A must visit if you are in Wellington.

Excellent location and views... Lot of effort gone in to decorate the place tastefully... The owner is very hands on and continuously checks if all is well... Strictly Continental fare... Vegetarian only... Prior reservation strongly recommended

Awesome place, awesome food and lovely ambience. Reserve in advance as u cant get tables on busy days. The owner of the property is a lovely lady. So many plants, cactus in their backward. Better than visiting botanical Garden.

Have been to here to taste their insane conti Pastas. The ambience is super perfect & Everything turned yumm!! Portion of Pasta is small though!PS: They are closed on Wednesdays.

Quite possibly the best eatery in the Nilgiris. Amazing ambience, courteous and impeccable service. And the food is prepared with locally grown and sourced ingredients - a wonderful experience overall. Do check out the desserts and the specials.

Nice place to visit, but have some little costly food. Ambiance is good and well behaved staff.

Cute little place tucked away from the crowds. Delicious food served fresh. The ambience is the cherry on the cake, beautiful inside and outside! Not to mention the enterprising owner!

Staff was not very keen on proper service and borderline rude. Food is below average to average. There is a beautiful view of the scenery out from the sitout. Will not visit this place for the food or the unsatisfactory staff behaviour. 2 star is given for the pleasing weather and scene.

I visited Café Diem with my family. Let me tell you, it has to be one of the best meals we had in a restaurant in years.The portions are good and the price is reasonable for the ingredients they use. Going to great lengths to produce everything in house. The pastas are hand rolled and the yummiest pesto sauce we have had.The risotto was another level. My favourite was the creamy risotto.Don’t even get me started on that sour dough pizza. I could rush back there right now. My family loved the goat cheese and fig pizza with honey and chilli oil.I loved the pomegranate cheese cake while my wife thought the Tiramisu was outstanding. All in all we had a sumptuous meal and finished it off with heavenly Filter coffee and the beans were sourced locally. Thank you Café Diem for a great time that my family will cherish forever. We couldn’t stop taking photos of the food, the Café and the magical view.All foodie must visit this place ♥️♥️

Honestly not the best place to go they wont let you enter without a booking. So its overpriced, very tiring journey and should be avoided. Naam bade and darshan chotte. LMAO

If ur in conoor dont miss cafe diem food . Its Its beautiful place, amazing food and class service . All covid safty measures are following with international standerd. Also hygine standard is with international standard.

This place is real heavy for Food lovers & for people who have an eye for creativity. I am not exaggerating when I say that I will come all the way from Pune to Otty Just to pay visit to this place one more time

Café diem seems to address the unanimous clamour of all Vegetarians - Something new! Potato and leek soup, coconut and pumpkin soup, Jaggery ice cream, in house made pastas, flat wheat bread pizza - we loved it all. Their service is off the charts as they pay special attention to your specific needs. They also sell vegan pizzas and cakes. Only complaint I have is that they close at 7pm. We also wanted to have our dinner here! Damn!!

Cafe Diem - When my partner and I entered the ooty town, we decided to directly go to Cafe Diem for lunch even before checking in at our hotel. Such was our excitement!A beautiful and cosy place that felt like an extension of nature .. A lot of effort has gone into creating this little space.We absolutely loved being there and meeting the face behind Cafe Diem - Radhika. It was also so pleasing to know what inspired her to start cafe diem.. This place is a reflection of her passion for travel, food and all things beautiful..We went by her suggestions and had super delicious food.. Three cheese pizza was out of the world. Pomegranate cheese cake and nolen gur ice cream were absolute treat to our taste buds.Spotted plants, stunning views and yummiest food. We enjoyed every bit of what we experienced..Not to forget about all the safety precautions they have in place.. We felt safe!We are sure this will be on our list everytime we visit ooty..If you have plans to visit ooty, never forget to step in here. It will be worth your money n time!

Excellent amazing cafe with great knowledge of interior decoration and very creative setup. Food quality awsome

Its a very cute cafe in coonoor. I loved the ambience and the food was very delicious. Its a perfect hangout place with family or friends. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Ooty or coonoor. We tried veg pizza, falafal, and tomato sauce pasta, filter coffee and nolin god ice cream (which was out of this world). The staff is really helpful and the cafe is located in a peaceful area. Had a great time. Thanks!

Ambient is so cozy and perfect set with a beautiful location witnessing a new sunset each day. You may spot the different species of birds ..Talking about the food, its great. Must try the Mushroom tart and the desserts are worthy.Love the mood this place creates.

One of the quaintest cafes that I have ever come across. Lovely views, interiors that make you go awwww and food to delight yoir taste buds. A must visit if you are in Conoor. They have excellent sanwiches, crepes and cold pressed juices. They also have the conventional pizzas n pastas too.Their homemade ice creams and other desserts are great too. They do not serve non-veg food.

Its a .....Oh so lovely.. Place. You will fall in love with this place instantly.

A delightful and refreshing cafe. We ordered the ratatouille pizza, I personally did not like it. The rest was good.

We went here for a family lunch after reading fabulous reviews on the internet and the reviews matched the food and the experience we received! What a beautiful little place this is. Even though I am a hardcore carnivore but didnt mind the pure vegetarian food I ate here as it was so damn delicious! Everything we ordered was absolutely incredible and the best part was that it was served with a smile! The owner was herself there to welcome us and serve us. This is a must-visit place when one is visiting Coonoor and just cant be missed. Dont forget to order and enjoy the Mezze Platter.

Beautifully and ethically run and managed. And with some spectacular dishes. I had the sun-dried tomato pizza a few days back and I can’t wait to go back again for more! Bravo Radhika Shastri!

Lovely place and wonderful garden, top notch food must visit

A beautiful little cafe offers a nice escape from the noisier parts of Coonoor. Most of the dishes we ordered were tasty but I was disappointed with the roasted garden vegetable starter. A few pieces of yellow and green baby marrows (courgettes) and red and yellow pepper surrounding a heap of iceberg lettuce. Having seen this review my sister-in-law wishes to add that she loved all her dishes.

A must-visit cafe that offers delightful food and lovely aesthetics. They serve the best soups, pizzas, pastas and ice-creams that weve ever had. This vegetarian cafe is a dream come true for lovers of continental food. One of the best eateries in the country!

Cafe Diem was suggested to me by my brother, but when I heard its Vegetarian, Ill admit I was skeptical.Our lunch dispelled all concerns. The pumpkin and potato-leek soups were outstanding. The orange and water chestnut salad so fresh and refreshing.The pesto spaghetti, Mediterranean pizza, mushroom risotto... Each one delicious.The best part of the meal is that my otherwise fussy eater 5 year old twins relished the soup and margarita pizza... A first for them.I highly recommend on your next trip to Cunoor!Thank you Radhika for a memorable lunch.... We will surely be back.

This cafe is par excellence....it would check all the boxes in ur list of expectations from a cafe.....great ambience, great food & amazing views. Being a local resident would recommend anyone visiting Niligiris to most certainly visit the cafe.

A good place for a leisure lunch. Enjoyed the lunch. Excellent team taking care of your needs.

Super location and nice food ...

Cafe Diem is the go to restaurant if you love Pizza, Pasta and Desserts.The best thing is that, it is Vegetarian. It has a cozy ambiance and the view from the location is breath taking. Radhika (owner) and her team take care of their guests very well and adhere to strict covid norms.

Reservation highly recommended. Good ambience. Nice food!

Cafe Diem is a must visit if you’re in conoor, tastefully done restaurant with an unbelievably crafted menu.

I loved the ambience, the view, and the food. And of course not to forget the warmth extended by Ms. Radhika. If you are in Connor or in ooty, it is a must place to visit. Give a call, and make your bookings, so that you are not Missing out the best cafe at Connor. ☺☺☺

Too pricey and over hyped. Portions are not that great and the drive also is unpleasant. And its busy because it merely has 10 tables. Lol.

Located in the middle of nowhere, this quaint cafe provides the best food in Coonoor. The pizza,tarts, pumpkin coconut soup were excellent. Apart from being artistically handcrafted, Cafe Diem gives some stunning vistas of the Nilgiris.

The ingredients were very good. However, seasoning to Indian palette was an issue in couple of dishes. We ordered:. Pumpkin soup, veggie platter, watermelon-mint and Apple-palmogrenate juices, Orange chestnut salad, Ratatouille pizza and fettuccine with red sauce pasta. Dessert to be decided. Bit too much for three. Bill at 3k was quite ok. Orange chestnut salad was a standout dish. Veg platter was fine - it was like deconstructed Falafal. Ratatouille pizza was too bland and so was the pasta. Pasta sauce was good. Book a table and note timings. 11 am to 6 pm. Wednesdays closed.

For wholesome delicious soups, fresh crunchy salads, delightful savoury and sweet tarts, fresh fruit cakes and pastas with authentic sauces do visit Café Diem in the Nilgiris. A vegetarian café that delights the non vegetarians too😀

Nothing great about the place... Especially if you are from any city. The food is quite ordinary... Oh yes.. its only vegetarian.. the desserts are decent. Though all covid protocols are followed on the face of it... Its too much of a constricted space to feel safe... Especially considering non locals find thier way here most. The view is as good as you have in any place in the Nilgiris. The terrace is actually a very tiny space. Dont bother is the bottom line...What is missing most is the warmth which you get used to in the Nilgiris... Going here is a little like going to your school Headmistress house for lunch...

Excellent European and Middle Eastern food in a beautiful cosy atmosphere!

Cafe Diem is a rare find! This unique restaurant, nestled in the gorgeous Nilgiris hills, about 4-5km from Coonoor town, has a brilliantly curated menu specialising in continental, Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. Among their soups, the pumpkin coconut is my favourite, although the thick mushroom soup is also very soothing in the winters. They have the traditional Italian - thin crust pizzas, pastas - making the restaurant very kid friendly, at the same time has exotic gourmet versions that appeal to adults (the goat cheese, fig, honey & chilli oil pizza is to die for!). They also have sandwiches, tarts, and an amazing dessert menu.More than anything, the service and the view from the restaurant makes the experience even better. The owner always makes the time to interact with all the guests, helping pick from the menu, learn about the area etc. We also love to pre-order - food is ready when you get to the restaurant! You must reserve in advance, so you ensure you get a table!

Cafe Diem is amazing coz of its owner Radhika & her fantastic team coz I believe the peop make the place. The whole experience is fabulous from location, to hospitality & the food is gastronomically satisfying. It’s a must visit during your stay in Coonoor! I recommend it everyone I know, who stays at Fairy Glen and visits Coonoor.

A surprise in the hills, must visit culinary experience. Ask the chef for recommendations rather than ordering from the Menu.
