Coffee shops and tea rooms Kathmandu

Exposed beams, cob walls, imposing wooden tables, rolling pins in the background and a charming little courtyard jealously hidden from view: this restaurant with its quirky yet meticulous decor almost makes you forget you're in the heart of Thamel. The setting is elegant and the menu very Western: pasta, lasagne, sandwiches, all set to jazzy rhythms. Yes, this restaurant is aimed at a more touristy clientele, but it's not all bad! The proof: we advise you to make a reservation, as it's quite crowded.

A Starbucks-style chain of Nepalese coffee shops where the golden youth love to come and chill out over a cup of coffee and an American-style cheesecake. The chain has now spread to all the towns in the valley (Patan, Bodnath...). The one in Thamel offers a lovely view of Durbar Square. Wide choice of locally roasted organic coffees (latte, mocha, espresso...). We recommend this address for its light breakfasts and lunches, good wifi and sofas for relaxing after a good walk in the city.

This chic bakery and café lounge, which exists in several districts of Kathmandu and Patan, displays pretty pastries in its illuminated window and offers a trendy menu of black burgers with activated charcoal bread (gluten-free and easily digestible), thalis and mouth-watering Nepalese revisited dishes served on slates, as well as delicious homemade lemonades and real espresso coffee. The setting is truly designer, with wood and leather elements and superb decor.
