Restaurants in Bhaktapur

  1. A

    Sunny Restaurant

    Consists of two places; one atop the guesthouse of the same name and the other next door. Both offer a terrace and great views over the square, though the hotel restaurant is 10% more expensive. Local specials include the Newari set meal and Bhaktapur's famous speciality: juju dhau, 'the king of curds' (yogurt).

    Café Nyatapola

    Out in the square at Taumadhi Tole, this place is touristy and pricey, but what a setting! Tables are set on the balconies of a former pagoda temple – there are even erotic carvings on the roof struts. The menu covers the usual Nepali, Chinese, Continental standards and a portion of the profits supports a local hospital.
