ABC - it's easy as 1,2,3

Spent a relaxing week in Pokhara getting fat on good food with a couple of mates, before undertaking a 7-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). I wonder if anyone's counted the steps, because there were a hell of a lot of them. The panoramic views were well worth it though.

The photos will tell the story, but I wanted to make special mention of the FOOD. Like Kathmandu, the food in Pokhara has really improved. Whilst everyone seems to do the usual Continental fare (anything from Nepali to Chinese, Thai, Indian, Italian, Tibetan, Mexican, etc), there are a few notable exceptions.

Moondance Cafe - great desserts, especially the apple crumble & ice-cream
Olive Cafe (same owners as Moondance Cafe) - good salads; and mint lemonade
Caffe Concerto - one of the waiters (or owner's son?) is a bit of an arrogant ass, but you can't fault the pizza & tiramisu at this joint.
Tea Time - good & reasonably priced Nepali food & veggie chow mein
Mike's Restaurant - good brekky & salads, plus a lovely view being by the lakeside
Ooh La La - good pizza (second to Caffe Concerto)  Read more>>>
