Cafe Nano Food and Drinks Rundown:
Here’s a quick rundown of the food and drinks we had in Cafe Nano at Lakeside:
Eggs Benedict:
The Egg Benedict is very simple and basic. Instead of toasted English muffins, they replaced them with brown bread topped with lettuce, slices of bacon, and poached egg. They don’t use the Hollandaise sauce, which was a miss, and it felt like we were eating open sandwiches. Without the Hollandaise sauce, the breakfast felt incomplete. However, they still tasted good.
Instant Ramen Combo:
Cafe Nano also caters to the craving of those looking for quick bites. What can be better than a hot bowl of instant ramen noodles? The steam rising from the bowl of noodles beckons you closer, and as you take your first sip of the savory soup, you feel a sense of comfort wash over you. Also, the Ramen Combo was much better than the Eggs Benedict
The noodles are perfectly cooked and have just the right amount of chewiness, while the soup is bursting with flavors of spices. The ramen combo came with lettuce, fried egg, and sausages as toppings.
Strawberry Lemonade:
On a hot summer day, there’s nothing like a refreshing glass of strawberry lemonade to quench your thirst. The first thing you notice is the vibrant pink hue of the drink, adorned with a few slices of fresh strawberries and a sprig of mint. As you take a sip, the tangy lemonade hits your taste buds, followed by the sweetness of fresh strawberries.
The flavors dance together in perfect harmony, creating a symphony of taste that leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized. The combination of tart lemon and sweet strawberries is truly a match made in heaven, and the slight minty finish gives it a refreshing kick.
With every sip, you can feel the coolness of the ice cubes melt away the heat of the day, making it a perfect drink to enjoy on a lazy summer afternoon. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or relaxing in the shade, a glass of strawberry lemonade from Cafe Nano is the perfect pick-me-up to beat the heat and savor the flavors of summer.
Blended Mocha:
The blended mocha from Cafe Nano is a drink that’s both indulgent and satisfying. The velvety smoothness of the drink as it glides down your throat is like a warm embrace on a chilly winter day.
The rich, chocolaty goodness of the mocha is perfectly balanced by the bold espresso, creating a perfect harmony of flavors that is nothing short of heavenly.
The drink is topped with a generous dollop of ice cream and drizzled with a swirl of chocolate sauce, adding an extra layer of sweetness and decadence to the already delicious drink. Each sip is a symphony of flavors and textures, with the smoothness of the blended drink contrasting with the slight crunch of the chocolate chips.
The Verdict
While Cafe Nano in Pokhara offers an impressive selection of drinks, its food offerings may not quite measure up.
