Here are some good places I have taken people for business talks or other ideas that needs to be talked
1) Imago de cafe and gallery in the immediate east of the former Royal Palace walls. (few houses away from the Visa application office for the UK) great ambience, very silent and cozy. Good light food and plenty of green around. Plus a bit of a relief from the usual trendy durbarmarg and Thamel area.
2) OR2K (means light 2 Kathmandu in hebrew). A vegetarian place in the heart of Thamel, opposite Pupernickel bakery and “the Factory” lounge, This place is usually crowded but early evenings or lunch times are a great place to sit down on the mats and talk business. A great place to bounce of ideas while having delicious Middle Eastern food. Try the simple Humus with a mint lemonade ! has free wi fi too.
3) Dhokai maa Cafe ( a distinct place with a courtyard of its own) in Patan Dhoka ( lalitpur), It is across the Bagmati River in Lalitpur near the southern gates to the ancient city of lalitpur. Good charming place to talk! Here is a link for further info of the place.
4) Kaiser cafe inside the Garden of Dreams, right on the mouth of Thamel. A great place to be in the midst of gardens, ponds and a visual feast. And not many crowd to disturb you with ! Here is a link to the place.
5) On top of the stairs of the tallest temple opposite the Kathmandu Durbar Square (Also called Hanuman Dhoka). If you want a surprise place to talk, take a packed lunch or just a thermos of tea /coffee with 2 cups and go sit on the top of the staired temple opposite Durbar Square. A great place to view the world below while talking about how to tackle that business problem! Here is the photo link of the place..
