Visited today for breakfast... Free Parking is available at underground parking of square hotel, don't forget to get the free parking stamp at reception of the cafe. It's really nice that the girl at the counter asked whether I parked at basement or not. We were offered seating upstairs too.... The interior of the cafe is really good . There were window seats too but unfortunately can't have a back rest of you sit at the window. .. To my surprise the menu was quite elaborate and nice.. The waiter served us bottled water (chargeable) and explained all our queries regarding the food. All four of us had different breakfast meals.... The Americano coffee was served with an espresso shot with hot water seperatly with two nice pieces of biscuits...we ordered masala tea which was really good and thick. Our breakfast arrived around 10 min after ordering which was delicious...The bacon was like hard fried as I forgot to tell them how I like my bacon. Otherwise really nice food, ambience and service. Worth a visit.

Came here with my family once for a dinner and the food was memorable. Recently had an appetite for brunches and came here and ordered the Smashed Avocado with poached egg. Food is fantastic. Drinks are priced as per the Kathmandu inflated standard. What I like is the service - one of the workers saw I had a headache and offered me medicine. Staff are very well mannered and ask how the meal was.

I absolutely loved my experience at Cafe & Cucina! Located in the Square Hotel Building in Pulchowk, this cozy and inviting restaurant offers an amazing blend of delicious food, a relaxed vibe, and top-notch service. It’s the perfect spot for brunch, lunch, or even a productive work session thanks to its calm and comfortable atmosphere. Whether you're with friends, family, or flying solo with your laptop, this place has something for everyone. The food was super tasty! I tried the Veg Tempura and the Linguine Alfredo. While the tempura batter could have been a bit crispier for my taste, the Alfredo pasta was absolutely perfect – creamy, well-seasoned, and full of flavorful mushroom bits. The drink menu is equally impressive, with something for every mood: great coffee, refreshing cold beverages, cocktails, and alcohol. I highly recommend the **Seabuckthorn drink** – it’s tangy, refreshing, and perfect for health-conscious folks. The detox options are also a nice touch! The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was quick and efficient – definitely a highlight. Though the prices are slightly on the higher side, the quality of food, generous portions, and overall experience make it worth every rupee. Plus, they accept QR payments and card pays, and parking is convenient with the parking of Square Hotel itself. With its warm ambience, free Wi-Fi, and thoughtfully crafted menu, Cafe & Cucina has won me over. I’ll definitely be back – and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic continental cuisine in a welcoming setting. A true hidden gem in Lalitpur!

An elegant eatery in Jhamsikhel offering a wide range of food and drink options. The ambience was extremely classy yet comfortable with a modern design. The seatings plenty with a few outdoor ones as well and the menu vast. The price a bit on the expensive side. As for the drinks, the detox was 100 but the sea buck thorn a 30. As for the dishes veg tempura was 10 out of 100 as it was extremely soggy whereas the alfredo linguine a 80.
