Pokhara

This touristy hippie chic resto with delicious organic, vegan and vegetarian Levantine cuisine, which exists in Kathmandu, has opened a table here at Lakeside, overlooking the lake. Guests come to enjoy delicious small dishes with spicy flavors: humus, falafels, shakshuka, bowls or antipasti plates, in a colorful, bohemian oriental decor. Large psychedelic frescoes adorn the walls. Sitting cross-legged on thick cushions in front of large wooden coffee tables, you dine in the evening under the subdued glow of a candle.

A Belgian had to open a real French fry shop in Pokhara to prepare the best fries in town. The burgers are just as good, the meat juicy and the bread golden, as are the famous Belgian croquettes. You can wash it down with a good Belgian beer (Duval and Chimay in particular) or Himalayan Red, a good local draught beer. It also offers roast chicken to take away, making for a great picnic on the lakeshore. You can also eat on site, on the pleasant little outdoor terrace.
