Everything the kitchen makes
The café sits on a covered veranda and spills out onto the courtyard lawn. Everything is vegetarian and made fresh; beer and wine are served. Order at a table, or from your room — the room service on the landing page comes from this menu.
Produce is organic and purified. No MSG. Open to guests and to anyone who finds their way through the monastery gate.
Prices are in Nepalese rupees and include all taxes.
