nice cafe in a wonderful setting - Edit
The cafe is within a wonderfully peaceful setting inside of the Shechen monastery. The menu is extensive and provides options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I had the thukpa - simple yet nourishing and warming.
Read moreCons: not so many vegan options

Beautiful garden setting - Edit
I don't find the food very special, as mentioned the usual traveler staples, nothing I would go out of my way for. But the setting! That's what I come here for occasionally: the lovely, peaceful, green garden - no traffic noises, just birds. Watching a squirrel or the butterflies while I wait for my order.

A peaceful oasis near the Boudha stupa - Edit
Rabsel Garden Cafe has to be one of the most peaceful places in Kathmandu. Set in a tranquil courtyard at one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, it's a lovely spot to have a leisurely meal, snack, or drink while contemplating compassion (or, you know, checking your email).
Read moreThe menu covers all the usual bases for a traveler restaurant in Nepal: pizza, pasta, salads (said to be mostly organic and hygienically prepared), plus Tibetan, Nepali, and Indian fare. As is common in this part of the world, not everything on the menu is always available. I particularly appreciate the fresh juices.
Everyone is welcome (you don't have to be staying at the monastery, though they do have a nice guest house), and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outside in the garden. Proceeds support the important work of the monastery to preserve Buddhist tradition.
FINDING IT: From the Boudhanath stupa, take the road that goes north (opposite the small temple at the main entrance to the interior courtyard of the stupa) and follow the signs to Shechen monastery (you'll fork left, and then after a minute or two the monastery entrance will be on your right, near an ecologically-themed mural). Once inside the Shechen monastery compound, walk up the steps and then take the left path, following the signs to the Shechen Guest House. Walk along a row of stupas and then the entrance to the garden will be on your left.
