Garden Seating
Green Hill Restaurant is part of the Green Hills property in Tapovan, Rishikesh - a 70-cover space with three distinct seating environments: an indoor dining room, a garden, and a lounge. The garden is the standout section for anyone visiting with a dog - open-air, set within the landscaped grounds of the property which include palm trees, Ashoka trees, and garden planting that gives the area a noticeably different feel from the main-road restaurants clustered near the ghats. Tapovan itself is quieter than Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula - less foot traffic, more space, which matters when you have a dog who needs room.
The menu covers Indian, Chinese, and Italian cuisine - a broader range than most Tapovan spots which tend to specialise toward one or the other. The emphasis on genuine and local ingredients comes directly from the restaurant's own description, and guest accounts of the food across the hotel reviews are consistently positive about the quality and variety. The kitchen's ability to handle multi-cuisine orders without dropping quality is specifically noted in multiple reviews - the pasta and the Indian curries both receive praise, which is not always the case in restaurants that try to cover both.
When this works better than a standalone cafe
Green Hill Restaurant is part of a hotel property, which means it operates with more consistent staffing and kitchen infrastructure than many of the smaller independent cafes in Rishikesh. For a full meal rather than a coffee-and-snack stop, the 70-cover capacity and multi-zone layout means it handles groups well and doesn't feel cramped. The lounge seating specifically works for longer stays. If you're based in Tapovan or visiting a hotel there, this is a reliable full-meal option that accepts dogs in the garden - that combination is harder to find than it sounds.
Practical notes
As a hotel restaurant, hours and peak availability may vary by season - calling ahead is advisable for dinner, particularly in off-peak months when smaller hotels sometimes reduce restaurant hours. The Tapovan area is accessible by road and is quieter than central Rishikesh, making the walk before or after a meal more pleasant with a dog than the busier ghat areas.
