Melrose Restaurant & Bar

Our casual dining with lush greenery is tucked away in a beautiful courtyard garden, the kind of alfresco outdoor dining, away from the bustle of the streets of Thamel..From a healthy or hearty breakfast, to a light or luscious lunch, or a simply divine d

It may cost a few more rupees than other Thamel restaurants, but you will not find a more beautiful retreat from the bustle of the street or tastier menu items than Melrose. I stopped for lunchtime appetizers; both wings and fries were delicious.But the real pluses are the peaceful setting and the friendly service. Quiet jazz music also sets the right tone.

Don’t miss this hotel and it’s restaurants. The staff is simply fantastic. Attentive, efficient, charming. The place is stunning. It’s what you imagine of Kathmandu if it was all clean and perfectly restored. So a great place to come after a day of sightseeing in the charming but semi-destroyed real Kathmandu! Only thing is slightly improve is the quality of food that, while being good, it’s not best. Ah, and the have gluten free options. Look forward to the day they decide to make gluten free momos! Worth of a special mention are Pramesh and Milan. The best staff there!

Wow...I can most highly recommend this cozy, little family-run restaurant if you're staying in Thamel! What a cool menu and an even cooler atmosphere... Prices are REALLY good as well... Unfortunately I only found this little gem at the end of my stay in Kathmandu. Samina, the manager is wonderful, and very friendly.. Try to check it out!

After seeing good reviews here, we went there to try it out a few weeks ago. I don't know what happened maybe the chef was on a holiday break. Food was so bad. I ordered the signature stuffed chicken, it tasted bland, soggy chicken, waterry sauce the whole dish tasted almost like it was frozen and cook it in the microwave. My partner ordered the Khana set, it was bad too tasteless. Then dessert was blueberry cheesecake that tasted like a piece of frozen cream with sugar.

Really fantastic food for meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans alike. My husband, who is vegan, loved their salads, while I loved their Nepali dishes (try their Thali!). They also have Western dishes such as pasta, grilled chicken and pizza.Cozy and welcoming environment on the top floor of Mandala Street in the heart of Thamel. Staff are lovely, very friendly, helpful, and accommodating to changing things in the menu to suit one’s taste.Quality of food very high and prices very reasonable.I would recommend to make a reservation beforehand, as every time we went there it was full.

Had a nice dinner after coming back from Pokhara. The prices are resonable but they do not take any credit cards. Will definitely come back again when I am in Kathmandu.
