Countdown to 40! Cafe Kathmandu

It's my countdown to the big 40!  With 25 days left and everyday leaving me with thoughts and adventures to share with you. 

This year we decided to get BCAA memberships for all of our road trips and to get us out of trouble if we should get stuck.   The membership for two people with RV insurance and motorcycle is about $320 but they give you a free Entertainment Book filled with coupons. 

So to be able to get a free membership, I started to give away coupons and tear out some to use. 

Off, I went to meet a few girlfriends for dinner at Cafe Kathmandu on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC.  It is a Nepalese restaurant with a simple menu.  Usually you imagine that Commercial Drive restaurants are packed and you have to wait in line.  That may be the case on Friday nights but definitely not Monday nights.  I never knew how much of a difference a day of week could make.  There was no trouble to get a table for 3.

Cafe Kathmandu has a simple menu at an affordable price.  With the Entertainment book coupon you are eating for cheap since the dishes range from $8-$19.  We choose three dishes including Lhasa Momo (steamed dumplings) to start.  I love dumplings and the sauces made them unique.


For the main course, we choose two medium dishes including Kukhurako maasu (chicken in curry sauce) and Kaauli (tumeric infused cauliflower) which was served with rice.  






This was the perfect amount for the 3 of us at a reasonable cost of $39 with Entertainment Book coupon of $10 off.  Tip is not included so overall the shared cost is under $15.  That also included two chai teas to drink.

This is a nice experience for Nepalese food for the everyday person.  It is a casual atmosphere and you can catch up and chat with friends.  I would go again with my Entertainment Book coupon.
