Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal and where most trekkers come to relax for a few days before or after their trips. Listed below are some of our favourite places to eat and drink in this stunning lakeside town.
Moondance - Although a little pricey, we think it offers some of the best food in town. Offering a special BBQ on certain days they have a lot of variety. They are famous for their Lemon Pie and have the best pitchers of cocktails. A perfect treat after your trek.
Almonds - If your looking for something a bit cheaper and a bit more local, Almonds is ideal. Mostly Indian food, their local Thali (Nepali Dal Bhat) is the best in town. Make sure you get one of their giant Nan bread, we can particularly recommend their Kasmiri Nan.
Silk Road - Hands down the best cocktails in town and at a reasonable price. This is a great place to come during the day or night, and they have live acoustic music on Wednesday and Sunday nights, you can even pick up a guitar yourself if you know how. Their signature drink is the Thirsty Camel, which is a fruity treat! A trip to Pokhara wouldn't be complete without a drink here.
Maya - If you fancy some fresh fish from the Pokhara Lake then this is the place to come. They have the best Grilled Tangy Fish for just $5. Live cultural music on the middle floor and a stunning rooftop where you can sit and enjoy their two for one cocktails as the sun goes down.
Pokhara Steak House - One of the few places you can actually get real beef (rather than buffalo). Many varieties of Steak a great option for the meat lovers!
Lemone Tree - Another great restaurant which covers most meals from Nepali and Indian to Mexican and Italian. Good quality food at a reasonable price. Also offers two for one cocktails.
These in our opinion are the best tourist restaurants in town, however if you are looking for something a bit more local, why not try Pani Puri from a street selling, or head toward the lake from Halan Chowk and try one of the many local Momo restaurants.
One things for sure is that you won't go hungry in Pokhara!
