Bakery Café
All the branches of the excellent Bakery Café chain provide work for deaf Nepalis who would otherwise struggle to find employment. Patan has two Bakery Cafés – one by the zoo at Jawalakhel and one opposite UN House at Pulchowk. Both have wireless internet access and momos, sizzlers, salads and sandwiches on the menu.

B
Si Taleju Restaurant & Bar
A narrow, towering place with four floors, each with a different look and feel. Best is the top-floor dining room with jaw-dropping views north across Durbar Sq to the mountains beyond. You’ll find all your favourites on the menu – momos, chow mein, Indian curries and those ubiquitous ‘Continental’ dishes.

C
Bakery Café
With branches on the edge of Thamel, on Durbar Marg and in Patan, this buzzy chain offers excellent value coffees and snacks for when you just need to take a break over an Americano and a plate of momos. The management have commendably hired deaf staff, which is perhaps one reason why the music is so bad.

D
Museum Café
In the rear courtyard of the Patan Museum, this is a stylish open-air place operated by the Summit Hotel. Prices are a little higher than elsewhere, but the gorgeous garden setting more than compensates. The organic salads are grown on site. You don't need to buy a museum ticket to eat at the café.

E
Dhokaima Café
A pleasant cafe in the New Orleans mould, set inside a Rana-era storehouse by the Patan Dhoka gateway. Shaded by a sprawling walnut tree, the courtyard garden is a great place to enjoy such varied international dishes as Mexican nachos, Italian pizzas and Japanese edamame (soy beans).

La Soon
Down a quiet side alley near Pulchowk, this charming garden restaurant and wine bar is run by a Swiss-Ghanaian couple, and the menu is an interesting fusion of Asian, French and African influences. The regular ‘Africa Nights’ with live music and fashion shows always pull in a crowd.
