Here I am at Mike's Breakfast which was a personal favorite of ours. I absolutely loved the smoked trout breakfast as do the many cats hanging around the place. Contrary to it's name Mike's serves lunch which we also enjoyed. Compared to K arachi, Kathmandu is crawling with tourists so there are a number of restaurants which cater to western tastes and do nice things like wash their veggies with iodine solution. We also really liked Fire and Ice in Thamel which serves absolutely terrific pizza.
Some people say they serve the best pizza anywhere .
We thought that La Dolce Vita , also in Thamel, had pretty good Italian too, even though it's emptiness makes me wonder if other people would agree with us. The Third Eye , also close by, served me the best tandoori chicken I had in Nepal. I liked the tempura and the cold noodles. A few doors down is the rooftop Nanglo Cafe which has great atmosphere but only passable food. Not a bad place to have drinks and be seen.
