    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.

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. Newa Chhen Restaurant

    This restaurant has a single corner table with killer views over the square. Grab it early and don’t let go. The menu covers the usual bases but does it competently.
