Kathmandu is a paradise for food lovers. Along with its own ethnic diversities, Nepal has also acquired an international food culture. Besides Nepalese food which is also a delicious and healthy treat, Nepal's assorted restaurants have come a long, long way since opening its gates to tourism way back in the 60s. Restaurants in Nepal's chic tourists' zones here serve varieties of hygienic delicacies from Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, Italian, Australian, Russian, Korean, Mexican and Continental etc at remarkably reasonable prices, which can sometimes be stunning to a connoisseurs delight. If you desire to lead a Nepali lifestyle during your stay in Nepal, then there are also some restaurants serving pure Nepalese cuisines (locally known as Dal Bhat) which comprises of Puffed rice, lentil soup and varieties of vegetable/& non vegetable curries.

Thamel, a renowned tourist hub of Kathmandu (also known in other parts of the world through the Lonely Planet), is well known for many excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs. Thamel is also developing as a major hangout and footloose-and-fancy-free-zone for many young Nepalese influenced by western culture and tourists as well. Some Pubs serve exotic and local cocktails with DJs jamming out the latest versions in western music. After Kathmandu, Pokhara is the most sought after tourist destination in Nepal. Pokhara also houses numerous restaurants that serve almost every kind of delicacy available on planet earth; literally complementing your taste buds for whatever mood you may be in...and all this at the drop-of-a-hat. Most restaurants serving tourists are generally aware of western standards and in most cases the food is hygienically prepared..but don't overdo it because climatic conditions can make a difference and upset your bowels. Just be safe and order up wisely. If you are going for trekking, please check 'about this trip' section of each trip to get detailed information about meals and water provided by Zenith Adventures.
