Maison Himalaya

An immersive Newari & Thakali tasting house in the courtyards of Patan.

The House

Our Story

Maison Himalaya sits inside a restored Rana-era courtyard off a quiet Patan lane, where carved windows frame the evening light and the kitchen keeps the rhythm of the seasons. We reimagine the table of the Kathmandu Valley — elevated samay baji, a Thakali thali traced from the salt routes of Mustang, and Himalayan produce coaxed into something quietly cinematic.

Every service is a single, unhurried arc: a chef's tasting that moves from the smoke of the choila grill to the slow warmth of buckwheat and yak butter. Wines and house arak pours are chosen to walk beside each course.

Reservations are by phone or WhatsApp, and we gladly accept eSewa, Khalti, and all major cards. Bring your evening; we will give it shape.
