Now Time For Italian ->Fox Restaurant and Bar
" For lovers of Italian
food, there’s no better place than this old favorites"
Choosing a restaurant in Kathmandu for
a weekend dinner can easily lead to a state of indecision. Do you go to an old
favourite, or try somewhere new? Do you want to hedge your bets on a place that
doesn’t take reservations? Will the restaurant be ever-so-slightly
disappointing, causing you to leave wishing you’d spent your money elsewhere?
When the stakes for dinner are even higher, it’s easy to feel even more
uncertain. But if that’s an experience you’re looking to have for a special
occasion, let us make this easy for you with what we’re calling the ‘fine
dining decider’.If you like pasta, dramatic staircases, and the idea of
experiencing something out of the ordinary, go to the Rox Restaurant and Bar at
Hyatt Regency Kathmandu.
Rox is set over three floors with a dramatic and fairly steep
staircase. The vibe is slightly upscale but relaxed. The wine list is varied,
and though the price ranges from reasonable to the jaw dropping, it’s one of
the best you’ll find in this city. The cuisine is Italian, and it’s the kind of
Italian cooking that’s not afraid to go heavy on big flavours like garlic,
lemon, olives, chili pepper, and fat to win your favour. These are some of the
most well thought out and beautiful plates we’ve had the pleasure of eating at
a decent pace.
There aren’t many places that serve a special occasion or a
drop-in at the bar equally well. Even though there are many excellent things on
the menu, our suggestion for the best way to enjoy a meal at Rox is to go heavy
on the pasta.
From appetisers to the main course, eating the food served here
is an amazing gastronomical experience. Artichoke Carpaccio with Prosciutto
served with Mozzarella cheese is a must try. Also, Baby spinach Tagliatelle
with smoked Salmon can be a tantalizing treat to your palate if you are into
sea food. Pastas such as Spaghetti Carbonara and Fresh Tagliatelle (served in
Bolognaise sauce with mushroom) are an absolute delight here.
The varieties of pizza available here are endless, but not a
single one is likely to disappoint you. From Margherita (prepared with fresh
buffalo Mozzarella cheese, basil and tomato sauce) to Hawaiian (chicken,
pineapple and Mozzarella), the pizzas are authentic and flavorsome. The main
course dishes such as Oven-baked Tuscan Styled Himalayan Rainbow Trout and
Crispy Norwegian Salmon absolutely should not be missed once you are here.
The service is fantastic, from the hosts to the bartenders and
to the staff at the cheese counter. And the wine list here is unparalleled. But
the best part about Rox Restaurant and Bar is that it’s magnificently simple.
No gimmicks, no scene, just authentic Italian dishes that make you want to come
over again and again.
