A place to gather
Our Story
A table above the square, shaped by Kathmandu.
01 / Festive Fare
A table with a view
Festive Fare began with a simple wish: to make a place that felt like Kathmandu in one warm, unhurried evening.
Above the lanes of Basantapur, our dining room brings together the flavours we grew up with and the easy pleasure of sharing a table.

Rooted in the square
Our terrace looks across the old palace roofs and temple spires. As the light moves, so does the room—from bright afternoon to lantern-lit night.
We cook in conversation with the neighbourhood: generous, fragrant food made for lingering.

Tradition, with room to wander
Newari ingredients and techniques are our starting point, not a boundary. Familiar dishes meet a few unexpected turns, always with respect for the original.
Our menu follows the seasons and the market, keeping the cooking bright, honest and close to home.

Come as you are
A good meal is more than what arrives on the plate. It is the first welcome, the extra chair, the view that makes a conversation pause.
Whether you are celebrating or simply passing through, there is a place for you here.
“The best evenings leave you with a little more time than you arrived with.”
