The best French cuisine restaurants Kathmandu

In the restaurant's calm, verdant courtyard, you forget you're in the heart of bustling Thamel. But the setting is not the only asset. From breakfast onwards, organic coffee is served, along with homemade cakes and freshly squeezed fruit juices. For lunch and dinner, the menu features classics with no nasty surprises: fine salads, burgers, pasta, Nepalese momos... Here, the clientele is as much Nepalese as Western.

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.

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).
