This is where visiting and local Tibetans come to fill up after a trip to the Jokhang. Add some pleasant traditional seating and a perfect location to the Tibetan vibe and it’s a logical lunch stop. The momos (dumplings) are recommended, especially the fried-yak-meat or cheese varieties. Skip the boiled yak hooves and the phenomenally expensive dishes made with cordyceps (a medicinal root).
