There are so many restaurants in Lhasa that it is possible to eat in a different place every night! The most popular area to search around is the Tibetan quarter near Barhour Square. Thashi Restarurant, Kailah Restaurant, the Third Eye Restaurant, the Alougang Restaurant and the Snowland Restaurant are all good places to sample some of Tibet's more unusual cuisine.
The restaurant in the Banak Shol Hostel is as good place as any to eat, and the Yak burger with fries (RMB 16)is extremely dilicious. There is a roof top restaurant in the Barkhor Cafe which is always very crowed in the summer. Internet can also be found here (RMB40 per hour), although a student price of RMB30 can usually be negotiated. Another internet cafe with the same prices, is situated 50 yards west of the Banak Shol, on the other side of the road.
