Kathmandu

Are you a meat lover in the mood for the best steak in Kathmandu after a long trek? Then this elegant address in Thamel is the place for you. And not just any steak: tender, lean ostrich steak, available in a handful of dishes. The meat is top-quality and imported from Australia. For green lovers, soups, salads and vegetarian dishes are served alongside burgers. We love the smiling welcome, the floor tables with their cushions raised on a platform and the board games available.

In a large modern veranda, there is an atypical restaurant in Kathmandu where one takes time to relax, breathe and enjoy absolutely delicious meat. As Nina's father is Nepal's biggest meat importer, you can throw yourself on burgers and other divine pieces with your eyes closed. Vegetarians are not forgotten, however, and some tasty suggestions are reserved for them. An address that does good in return for trekking and that is worth the effort despite its location a little far from Thamel.

This small restaurant serving salads, green cuisine and healthy dishes is located in the heart of Thamel, on the^3rd floor of a small shopping center invisible from the street. A refreshing little green haven with floor-to-ceiling green plants, and cool tables outside but in the shade on a covered terrace. The Forest salad (kale, lettuce, broccoli, avocado, grapes, pear, spinach, red onion and a lemon sauce with cranberries, sesame and sunflower seeds) is delicious, as are the small sesame chicken snacks and homemade lemonade.

Attention vegetarians and vegans! Here's an address with you in mind. In this restaurant, whose walls are decorated with frescoes drawn in a "hype" style, you can enjoy specialties from all over the world: Asian, Himalayan, Italian, Oriental and even Turkish. Meals are served seated on cushions and around low tables. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service meticulous. A fashionable place where jam sessions are sometimes organized, where you won't necessarily come across many Nepalese (or at least only the golden youth).

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).
