Double Dorje Restaurant
A cosy Tibetan-run place that's popular with backpackers and the local dharma crowd, both attracted to the sofa seating and low prices. There's plenty of Western food, plus Tibetan specials, but don't be in a hurry as service can be slow. This is a great place to try out Tibetan butter tea and tsampa (on the menu as 'champa') - roasted barley meal that tastes a bit like porridge.

Festive Fare Restaurant
On the southwest side of the stupa, this place serves up set meals to tour groups. The rooftop tables have fabulous views.
-
Rabsel Garden Café
For some peace and quiet, head past the row of chörtens west of the Shechen Tengyi Dargyeling Gompa to this garden oasis. The vegetarian-only dishes stretch to lasagne, quiche, soup with homemade bread and veggie wraps, and there are good daily specials.
-
Saturday Café
On the east side of the stupa square, come here for good cakes and cookies, organic coffee and frozen sorbet, plus light vegan and organic meals, such as ginger tofu and vegetables, or tomato, lentil and coriander soup. Come early for a seat on the rooftop.

Stupa View Terrace & Restaurant
For good food with a stupendous view this German-run place has a range of vegetarian dishes and good pizza (from a clay oven), plus some unusual dishes such as Middle Eastern meze, 'sliced zucchini with mint and olive-oil bread' and special candlelit meals during the full moon.
-
Tibetan Eating Houses
For those on a shoestring budget, there are plenty of small Tibetan eating houses in the streets behind the stupa that serve up authentic Tibetan thugpa (noodle soup) - any place with a curtain across an open door is probably one.

Zhungchuanluohuang Hotel
This place may be a bit of a mouthful, but it's a damn good-tasting mouthful. It's a bit unnerving to see Chinese characters in the heart of Tibetan Bodhnath but the food is tasty and authentically Sichuanese. Try the gongbaojiding - chicken with chilli and peanuts.
