Sometimes good restaurants are located in the most unexpected places. Ramsterdam Cafe in Ramhiti, Kathmandu, is right next to the main street, and looks quite small from outside. But the place is spacious, making it a perfect place to hangout with friends, or alone if you are so inclined. The decor of the place is quite random, but looks good altogether. And they have live music sessions in the evening. Seating areas are plenty, especially if you’re visiting during the day time. Finding a place to sit might be a struggle if you’re there in the evenings or on a weekend. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting alone or with someone, you’ll thoroughly enjoy your time at the restaurant. Also, the cafe feels welcoming. One can easily have a conversation with the owner, staff or the customers sitting nearby. It’s a good place to visit if you like to read too. You’ll see shelves filled with books as you walk inside. You can grab one, find a corner, and be by yourself with no one else bothering you.

When it comes to food, they have a variety of choices. We did find the food items to be a bit pricey, but their drinks are quite affordable. For a non-alcoholic drink, opt for a cold coffee. At most of the restaurants we’ve visited, cold coffees are disappointing. Here, it’s the exact opposite. It’s not too diluted, is quite milky, and they use cold milk instead of adding ice. But the vibe of the place calls for a glass of beer with some snacks on the side.
