Sichuan


Wonderful little cafe-restaurant in the middle of the old Tibetan neighbourhood and just down from the Chöde Gompa. Smiley staff will whip you up a tasty light meal such as yak ribs or soup. They also brew a range of teas and coffees and bake some delicious cakes, including one you won't get at home: yak yoghurt cake.
