The best restaurants Kathmandu

Greenery, calm and elegance: this restaurant, a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Thamel, scatters its many tables in a large garden with sheltered terraces and green plants. A very pleasant setting. From Nepal to Tibet via Bhutan, the flavors of the Himalayas are served here: sets of each nationality in particular (the Nepalese is very spicy!), Tibetan thukpa (noodle soups), gyakok (hot pot). Excellent pork bao, hearty and sprinkled with greens.

Caroline, who has lived in Nepal for many years, runs this restaurant, which offers a wide selection of bistronomic classics with a modern French twist (salade toulousaine, steak au poivre, mousse au chocolat), as well as upscale seasonal specialties. The place has become a meeting place for Westerners living in Kathmandu. And it's a favorite with visiting travelers. The setting is remarkable, in the heart of the historic Baber Mahal Revisited palace, and the dishes are refined. A tasty moment.

Beneath the portraits of the ancestors hanging on the walls, the staff is taking care of the little things and the waiters are putting the small dishes in the big ones! This is the place to go if you want to taste the true and authentic Nepalese cuisine. It's all in millimetres, but your taste buds will want more! The menu is fixed and offers a tasty glimpse of the sumptuous era of the Rana dynasty. You can taste a variety of dishes with different portions. Reserve for a chic dinner in a grandiose setting.

Here's a restaurant that doesn't look like much, but it's always full. Low-budget travelers come to join a Nepalese clientele. A guarantee of quality. And for good reason: the dhal bat is good and copious! The recipes are prepared according to the purest thakali tradition (a community originally from Mustang). Most of the ingredients even come directly from the region of Kali Gandaki where the village of Tukche is located, which gives the dishes that very special flavour. For an immersion in the heart of typical Nepal!

It's easy to spot with its green bicycle supporting flowerpots and its pretty garden where the tables are laid out. Definitely the place to enjoy a good crêpe, just like in Brittany! Hari knows France well, having visited several times, and has developed a passion for crêpes. The plates are hearty, prepared à la minute with fresh produce. Special mention for the buckwheat galettes, but also for other French dishes: ratatouille and croque-monsieur (with homemade béchamel).
