Chez Caroline

“Much better than expected, a true fine dining experience, ambiance and food excellent.”

“Madhu and the entire staff make sure that the hospitality is as brilliant as their well balanced french cuisine. The warmth is the highlight of this garden restaurant. Must visit in Kathmandu.”

“Great all round dining experience. Quiet atmosphere and exceptional food. We have Madhu to thank for service excellence and great recommendations for the fish, chicken of the day and creme brulé. Thank you for a memorable experience. NB: parking is quite limited.”

The place has such a cozy, warm, and peaceful vibe perfect if you want a quiet, relaxed dining experience. As for the food, it’s definitely not bad… well prepared and nicely presented but the flavors are quite subtle. If you’re used to bold, spicy, or strong Asian flavors, it might not fully hit your taste buds. This spot feels more suited for those who enjoy classic European/French-style cuisine and mild seasoning. Overall, great ambiance and experience, but food-wise it depends on your palate.

Wow wow wow. While staying at Babar Mahal Vilas, I walked through this restaurant on numerous occasions, saving my visit for this restaurant. Omg. The service and fast menu of food delivery was next level. Having travelled the world, there has been no better service than here in Nepal, ever. Absolutely amazing delivery. 5⭐️. Also it looked like rain, & within a minute, they erected a huge sail to cover the entire open air diners inside a minute. 🤷‍♂️, amazing experience.

The staff at Chez Caroline have perfected the art of hospitality and making a guest feel at home. I've been staying at the hotel the restaurant is adjacent to, and have eaten here for the majority of my two week stay in Kathmandu. Although the food is fantastic, our favorite part is definitely the company. My friend and I have come to know Madhu and the rest of the staff as such incredibly kind and thoughtful people. They go out of their way to ensure you're satisfied every step of the way. It has become my favorite way to end a long day. Madhu's kindness and warmth is radiating. I only regret not being able to dine here every night of our stay. There's several things I'll miss about Nepal once I return home, Madhu and Chez Caroline is certainly at the top of the list. Thank you for the great food, great service, and great memories.

What a stunning little gem of a restaurant. The French-inspired menu may be small, but every dish was packed with flavor and care. The servers were nothing short of amazing, attentive without being overbearing. The attention to detail in every bite was extraordinary. We enjoyed the fresh jams that were bursting with flavor, and the eggs and mushroom dish was simply fantastic. The ambiance transported you to a peaceful haven, far removed from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. It didn’t even feel like we were in the city at all. I can’t wait to go back for a leisurely lunch!

Great service and atmosphere. We got the watermelon salad and that was great. French onion soup and bread was also good. I got the Salmon with Mustard cream sauce and added some fries. Fish was perfect and sauce was fantastic. Fries were a little overdone for my liking. Dessert was amazing. Excellent crème brûlée and amazing chocolate lava cake with crème anglaise. Highly recommend.
