Description
There's the mother of all restaurants serving ethnic food-Krishnarpan at Dwarika's Hotel at Battisputali. Dinner comes in five variants-4-, 6-, 9-, 12- and 16-course meals-and reservations are a must if you want to get a table. The only piece of advice for those seeking to sample the whopping 9-course dinner at Krishnarpan is to fast on the day you go there.

What makes Krishnarpan dinners special is the ambience of this classically designed hotel where there's a story about every brick and every bit of antique woodwork. Krishnarpan's ceremonial feasts are served on tables designed with centuries-old latticed woodwork, in traditional plates, bowls and glasses by hostesses dressed in traditional outfits.

Closer to Thamel is this new restaurant in the wing of a 157-year-old Rana palace, the Phora Durbar. Most people choose the fixed menu of 11 dishes but ordering à la carte is possible. Choose between floor or table seating but get here before 19:00 to catch the live music and dance. A chulo is a Nepali-style stove.

Smiling waiters, the signs of past splendour on the walls, the lullaby of folk music in our ears, we all sinking in the delicate lovingly cooked momos. And plentifully flowing Raksi wine telling us this is not simply a gastronomic adventure.

No attempt to list all the eateries in Kathmandu can do justice to the creativity and class that all classy hotels offers at their restaurants. Still some stand out.

Address Naxal,
Kathmandu, Nepal.
Telephone 4415236
Facsimile 4440314
Website : http://www.nepalicuisine.com.np/
Description
Wunjala Moskva is one restaurant that serves the best of Kathmandu's Newari cuisine combined with what once adorned the tables of Russian aristocrats. Moskva serves exotic preparations that you may not find in restaurants anywhere in the world, not even in esoteric cookbooks. Where else can you find dishes with names which would make any Nepali's mouth water spontaneously like Pavlov's effect: Chhoela, Chatamari and Woh.

Dinner at Moskva's spacious traditional setting comes packaged with glimpses of Newar culture. Moskva takes into account the festivities and the Newari New Year and may have something special this Tihar. There are the Newari specialties for example, that comes with enough ayla (home-made rice liquor) to wash it down different meat dishes. The main Newari dinner will set you back.

That's just the Newar bit, the Russian concoctions are equally tempting. You can go Russian by starting with zakuski-a platter of assorted salads. Then sample from an assortment of soups until you settle for the kill-stew of wild boar or chicken with mushroom, carrots and seasonal vegetables, stewed and baked in a clay pot, or shashlik or blinchiki with red caviar.

Description
At Babar Mahal Revisited, southeast of the centre, this restaurant has a dramatic and regal, almost Victorian, setting, with crystal and linens and where diners are attended by waiters dressed in royal costume and watched over by looming portraits of various disapproving Ranas. The menu features 'Rana cuisine', a courtly cuisine created by Nepali Brahmin chefs and heavily influenced by North Indian Mughal cuisine.
The setting is probably the most memorable part of the restaurant. Vegetarians will find plenty to eat here. The attached K2 Bar has a nice terrace for a predinner drink. A baithak is a royal suite or state room.
