Patan Museum Cafe
A garden cafe inside the Patan Museum courtyard — the valley's most elegant coffee stop.
About this place
Summary
Set inside the restored courtyard of the Patan Museum, this is the valley's most elegant cafe pause — garden tables under the palace eaves, a short menu of Newari-influenced dishes and good coffee, and museum quiet just meters from Durbar Square's crowds. Entry is via the museum ticket, which you should buy anyway.
