Kathmandu is a food lovers heaven.
You are treated to literally any variety of food you can imagine. Half the fun
of staying in Thamel is to try out all the different restaurants and bars. To
make navigating this town a little easier for you, I've listed our Top 10
favourite spots to for eating and drinking in Kathmandu.
- Electric Pagoda - The best burger
in town. That's all you really need to know about this place! It has a
lovely garden with a variety of seating options, great cocktails and
plenty to choose from the menu. Nice for lunch or a chilled out evening.
- La Dolce Vita - Life is sweet. An
Italian restaurant serving pizzas and pastas. The rooftop is one of the
best places to spend a summers evening in Kathmandu.
They also have a great wine list (which is rare for Nepal).
This is the place we like to go to treat ourselves!
- New Orleans
- A funky blues restaurant right in the center of Thamel in a quiet
garden. Their food is great (steaks, salads, burgers and more) and have
quite an extensive drinks menu. Check out their schedule to see when they
have a live blues band in the evenings. It's also a nice spot for an
afternoon coffee (and ice cream!)
- Northfields - My personal
favourite breakfast spot. They have a variety of food on offer, Mexican,
Nepali, Continental the list goes on. I like that they offer half or full
sized portions on their breakfast menu, and the music from a traditional
Nepali band in the evening sets a really great atmosphere. Coffee is
refillable which is also great for breakfasts!
- Road House - Pizza, pizza, pizza!!
Beautifully cooked in a real stone oven in front of you, this is the best
pizza place in town. The garden out the back is great for the hot evenings
and in the winter they have patio heaters. A lovely place for a romantic
meal or group dinner. And make sure you try their sizzling brownie at the
end!
- Muktinath Thakali Kitchen - Or as
we like to call it 'Sunny Dal Bhat' as it's the only place in winter you
can find sun in the city! This is a favourite amongst local business men
who have their lunch time Dal Bhat here. There are other things on the
menu, but their Dal Bhat is really something, and I have to be honest,
I've never tried anything else!
- Everest Momo - Hands down the best
momo's in town, and our all time favourite lunch spot. There's no menu,
you simply walk in, sit down and someone will bring you a plate of 10 buff
momo's with a very tasty soup. The only choice you get is coke or fanta.
You eat, you pay and you go. No hanging around. It's Nepal's
equivalent of fast food, but so much better!
- Yanling - If your looking for a
cheaper place, Yanling serves nice momo's and Thupka (noodle soup) as well
as fried rice and chowmein. It's not the fanciest place in town, but the
food is good and service is quick.
- Places - A vegetarian restaurant
with a cool vibe. Ground seating, these guys have really worked out a
unique and tasty menu. Their salads are the best in town. Another great
lunch time spot or a very chilled out evening.
