Le Sherpa Restaurant

My wife and I chose La Sherpa for our 12th wedding anniversary, expecting the high-end experience La Sherpa Concept is known for. Unfortunately we left disappointed. The ambiance and most of the food were excellent, but a significant misstep with my main course ended the evening on a sour note. I ordered the seared salmon steak (~5,000 NPR), but it arrived fully cooked through. When I politely mentioned this to our server, she offered to replace it. However, she returned empty-handed with a message from the chef saying I should have specified my preference upfront since "many people complain when it's not fully cooked." This response misses the point entirely. If the menu describes a dish as "seared," that's a specific preparation method, like ordering eggs "over easy." If customers frequently misunderstand what seared means, the solution is for servers to clarify at ordering, not to change the cooking method and expect customers to know to specify otherwise. What made this more frustrating: the server had already taken my plate (with about a third remaining) to the kitchen before delivering this message. No adjustment was offered to the bill despite not receiving what was ordered and losing a portion of an expensive dish. The complimentary anniversary dessert was a thoughtful gesture, but it couldn't quite offset the poor handling of a legitimate concern. At this price point, when there's a disconnect between menu description and execution, the response should lean heavily toward making it right, not defending the kitchen's approach. I know the team behind La Sherpa runs quality establishments. This felt like an uncharacteristic miss in both execution and service recovery. Hoping this feedback helps them maintain the standards they've built their reputation on.

Absolutely Delightful – A Must-Visit in Kathmandu I cannot believe I had my bestest time at Le Sherpa—what an extraordinary place tucked away in the middle of bustling Kathmandu. From the moment I walked in, the ambience captured my heart. The setting is serene and beautifully designed, with warm lights, tasteful decor, and a courtyard that brings a touch of nature to the dining experience. It’s perfect for a calm, fine-dining evening. Now let’s talk about the food—absolutely divine! I had a tofu-based dish (I wish I could remember the name!) and a refreshing salad, and both were simply unforgettable. The tofu was delicate yet flavorful, paired with thoughtful sides that complemented the texture and spices. The salad was fresh, vibrant, and artfully plated, making each bite feel like a celebration of natural flavors. Every dish felt intentional and beautifully balanced. The service was top-tier. The staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely kind—always ready to guide without being overbearing. Their attention to detail and warm approach made me feel relaxed and well cared for throughout the evening. Le Sherpa is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The calm, the quality, and the aesthetic appeal all come together to create something truly special. Oopss!! Still can’t get over how good everything was! This place is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy fine dining in Kathmandu. I’ll absolutely be coming back.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great spot for a comfortable, quality, and modern dining experience in Kathmandu. The beautiful porch dining space was breezy and enjoyed a nice view of a small garden courtyard. Staff were professional and timely. Food was pretty good too, though the ambiance and service were the real gems here. Surprisingly quiet with being in the heart of town. Having a few shopping spots in the same area was also a nice bonus. I recommend this place for a brunch with the wife or even the family as the kids can run around in the garden area. Enjoy!

It's a nice modern restaurant. We had a group dinner here. I had the tofu with brown rice and a sauce. It tasted okay. It was very nice to get brown rice which seems to be rarely served in Nepal. The salad was very good and the chocolate brownie was, too.

The best food experience i've had in a while, literally wiped the plate of ravioli clean. Amazing food. Servers were the best, efficient and attentive. The only thing that bothered me was the sheer number of mosquitoes, i wish they could do something about it though, otherwise a perfect place.

I took my mum to this beautiful place for a dinner date. The ambience was peaceful, full of natural beauty, calm, and a perfect place to make your day memorable. My mother and I enjoyed everything we ordered and it was worth going. Expensive but you won't regret it once you taste the food and experience their service. Everything was fresh and the staff members were friendly. We ordered mustang potato, special soup and virgin mojito. I would like to try more dishes in future.

This was my first time at Le Sherpa. Food was exceptional 💯 Pricing is on the higher side but rest is all up to the mark. A perfect fine dining experience. The staffs were polite and explained the menu well. They also did recommended us dishes for our veggie colleagues. We were there on a Jan evening, I missed proper heating arrangement on the outdoors. Highly recommended 🙏

It was hard to find the entrance of the restaurant, finally I found it, it was through the museum an Airbnb at Panipokhari. The ambience of the restaurant looked attractive but was like sitting on a terrace. Staffs were professional, polite & attentive. Mixed mushroom with poached egg on top was delicious. Pan seared trout fillets which came with mashed potatoes & vegs was really looked impressive though a bit expensive but tasted excellent. Really a great place for fine dining in Kathmandu.
