Autumn in Kasauli brings a magical transformation to the hills. The crisp air, colourful leaves, and warm sunlight create the perfect mood for comforting, flavour-packed meals. At Brook & Pines, this season is celebrated with a special Autumn Chef’s Seasonal Menu that highlights earthy, aromatic, and soulful dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This thoughtfully curated menu not only reflects the richness of autumn flavours but also showcases the culinary creativity of the restaurant’s expert chefs.

If you’re visiting Kasauli during the autumn months, here are the top seasonal dishes you simply must try at Brook & Pines.

1. Creamy Pumpkin & Thyme Soup

There’s no better way to begin an autumn meal than with a warm bowl of pumpkin soup. Prepared using fresh farm pumpkins, slow-cooked with herbs and cream, and finished with thyme, this soup is rich, smooth, and beautifully aromatic.

The natural sweetness of pumpkin combined with earthy thyme creates a perfect balance. This dish captures the very essence of autumn—warm, comforting, and nourishing.

2. Smoked Himalayan Trout with Herbs

A Brook & Pines signature!
This dish features a fresh Himalayan trout marinated in mild spices and smoked with pinewood to give it a unique flavour. The fish is soft, flaky, and infused with distinct mountain aromas. Served with sautéed vegetables and a lemon herb butter sauce, this meal is ideal for travellers seeking something special and local.

It’s a perfect blend of freshness, simplicity, and elegance.

3. Autumn Harvest Salad

For light eaters, the Autumn Harvest Salad is a refreshing delight. The salad is made using seasonal ingredients like roasted beetroots, apples, walnuts, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a honey-mustard dressing. The crunch of walnuts paired with tangy apples gives every bite a burst of flavour.

This healthy dish is perfect for lunch or as a starter before your main course.

4. Mountain Herb Grilled Chicken

Autumn is the season for hearty, wholesome meals, and the grilled chicken at Brook & Pines delivers exactly that. Marinated overnight in rosemary, thyme, garlic, and olive oil, the chicken is perfectly grilled to remain juicy inside with a smoky flavour outside.

Served with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies, this dish warms you from the inside out—perfect for cool Kasauli evenings.

5. Wood-Fired Veggie Pizza with Local Cheese

Brook & Pines is known for its delicious wood-fired pizzas, but the Autumn Veggie Pizza is a seasonal masterpiece. Topped with mushrooms, bell peppers, fresh basil, caramelized onions, and a generous layer of local Himachal cheese, the pizza has a beautifully crisp crust infused with wood-fire aroma.

Each bite gives a taste of fresh produce blended with rich flavours—simple yet unforgettable.

6. Himalayan Red Rice Bowl

This wholesome dish brings traditional hill flavours to your plate. The Himalayan red rice is cooked to perfection and served with sautéed vegetables, herbs, and an optional choice of grilled paneer or chicken.

This bowl is nutritious, flavourful, and ideal for those who want something filling yet healthy.

7. Autumn Roast Chicken with Butter-Garlic Glaze

Roast chicken is a universal autumn favourite. At Brook & Pines, the dish is marinated with herbs, slow-cooked, and finished with a butter-garlic glaze that melts beautifully over the juicy pieces. Served with roasted potatoes and herb rice, this dish is a must-try for food lovers.

The aroma alone is enough to make you fall in love.

8. Warm Apple Cinnamon Crumble

No autumn meal is complete without dessert, and the Apple Cinnamon Crumble at Brook & Pines is absolutely irresistible. Fresh apples are baked with cinnamon sugar, topped with a crunchy crumble, and served warm with vanilla ice cream.

The contrast of warm apples and cold ice cream makes this dessert comforting and indulgent—perfect for chilly evenings.

9. Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows

To end your meal on a cosy note, try their special autumn hot chocolate. Made with premium cocoa, steamed milk, and topped with marshmallows, it’s rich, velvety, and heartwarming.

It’s a favourite among both adults and kids, especially when enjoyed outdoors.
