The lake view from the garden is stunning at night. My mocktail fell flat, but the cultural dance made up for it.

The rooftop view is honestly the main reason to come here. Buffalo wings were solid too. Service was a little all over the place but didn&#39;t ruin the vibe. Good spot to hang with friends. 🌆

Gaia Restaurant is   one of the best restaurants in Kathmandu Thamel ,food quality was good ,environment was also good ,I recommend very highly 🙏🙏🙏❤️

The ambiance at Chez Caroline is charming and peaceful, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a quiet meal away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu.

Restaurant in Baber Mahal Vilas - the Heritage Hotel

Came for a quick lunch, ended up staying longer than planned. The live Nepali music was playing - traditional stuff, really sets the mood. Had the momo, came out fast, hot. Place was filling up by the time I left. Good spot if you want a decent bite without the usual tourist trap vibe.

The outdoor seating gives you a nice view of the lake, feels pretty open and chill. Food was decent, nothing crazy but it hit the spot. Prices though, kinda high for what you get, especially when there are cheaper spots around. I&#39;d come back for the view more than the food honestly.

The vegetarian dhido set really hit the spot. That gundruk soup had so much umami, and the buckwheat porridge was cooked just right. 350 NPR for twelve little dishes felt fair. The owner swapped out the ghee for a vegan version without making a fuss. Place was quiet when I went, which I appreciated. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable.

Stumbled on this place by accident and the garden seating got me. Double Americano for 340 Rs felt like a steal honestly. Coffee came out strong and dark, just how I like it. Not crowded when I went, so it was pretty chill to sit around. Would go back if I&#39;m in that area again.

The banana chocolate momos were the reason I stopped in, and honestly they didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Big portions for the price too, which surprised me. Sat upstairs with the lake view, pretty chill spot. Breakfast felt like a solid deal, even if the momos took a few extra minutes to come out.

The oyako don here hit the spot. Chicken was soft, egg still slightly runny, and the broth soaked into the rice just right. Miso soup on the side was decent too. Free green tea came with the meal, which was nice. Place is easy to miss in Thamel but worth it if you want something light.

The Newari food here is solid&mdash;tried the set meal and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Place is run by the community, which is a nice touch. Service was a bit slow, but for the price and location, it&#39;s a decent stop.

This restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a six-course menu that is both sumptuous and exotic. The attentive service adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Decent spot near Boudha. Had the momo and it was pretty good. Outdoor seating is nice, though service was a bit slow. Fine for a casual meal.

The owner clearly knows what they&#39;re doing&mdash;gluten-free Vegemite on the menu is a thoughtful detail. Coffee was solid too. Handy spot if you&#39;re missing a bit of Australia.

Salad was fresh, dressing on point. Price fair for what you get. Bathroom situation though... kinda rough. Not gonna lie, that part stuck with me more than the food. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and hungry, just maybe handle your business before you go.

Prices were fair and the portions generous. Food was decent, nothing crazy. The seating was comfortable enough to just relax and take our time.

The restaurant offers an amazing view and the food is fantastic! The service was top-notch, making my breakfast truly memorable.

The wooden antiques and plants inside are still my favorite part. Feels like having dinner in a quiet little gallery. Been coming here for a while and that vibe never changes.

Been back twice just for the Mexicali pizza. That thing&rsquo;s got a nice kick, crust holds up well. Mint lemonade on the side, not too sweet, pretty refreshing. Place gets busy around dinner but whatever. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want something quick.

The butter chicken poutine caught me off guard&mdash;creamy, rich, and easily enough for two. I&rsquo;d grabbed a glass of their house red to cut through the heaviness, worked well. Chicken portion felt a little shy, but the fries held up nice. Solid stop if you&rsquo;re in the mood for something indulgent. 🍷

Amazing food great place and kind people!Dipendra and Kaushala were our amazing hosts.
