Nepal: Casa Nepalesa
Some might know the chef's name already due its infamous italian restaurants in Lisbon: Come Prima and Forno D'Oro. However, Casa Nepalesa is where Tanka Sapkota has his roots and origins: in Nepal.
In the kitchen, there are only Nepalese cooks, and so the result couldn't be more typical and loyal to Nepalese flavours. Among the dishes, the spice is there, ain't softened to please more sensitive palates. The food aims fine dining with quality products and typical traditional dishes: from the shrimps, asparagus, kid or even boar. At Casa Nepalesa, the rustic decor, traditional music and waiters aren't hiding nothing fake, yet bringing you into a food journey to Nepal.
