New Café Nyatapola

Bhaktapur


Occupying prime real estate in Taumadhi Tole, this landmark cafe is touristy and pricey. But what a setting! Tables are arranged on the balconies of a historic pagoda temple – there are even erotic carvings on the roof struts. The menu comprises the usual Nepali, Chinese and continental standards.
