Corner Cafe

Hidden in the far west of Thamel, near the back entrance of the famous Kathmandu Guest House lies 7 Corner Cafe. I accidentally discovered this place while looking for an alternative way to drive out of Thamel without getting forced down any of the one-way roads going north and south. It impressed me so I keep coming back.

The owner is a friendly gentleman who can be found behind the counter anytime the cafe is open. They serve various baked items as well as a rather extensive menu of simple continental appetizers and snacks. Soups, salads, sandwiches and pizzas are all included, as well as the obligatory Nepali dishes. However it is their sandwiches which are the real reason people come here. Served on homemade bread, these sandwiches are twice as wide as the sandwiches from that small but well-known late-night sandwich joint in Thamel Chowk yet cost the same exact price!
Best Bet? BLT. It’s as good as any BLT I’ve ever had and only costs Rs 155.
