Northfield Cafe

Kathmandu


This pleasant, spacious spot is the place for serious breakfast devotees (think waffles and huevos rancheros), with the useful option of half or full portions. The Mexican and Indian tandoori dishes (dinner only) are also excellent (you'll have to ask if you want them spicy) and the American comfort food spreads to burgers, nachos and even chilli cheese fries.

There's a sense of space here missing in many of Thamel's other restaurants. The outdoor firepit is a real plus in winter and there’s traditional Nepali music in the evenings. It’s also one of the few places to offer kids’ meals.
