East meets West in Dunya Restaurant
Dunya is a bar and restaurant in Lhasa that is being run by a management that is partially Dutch, partially American and partially Tibetan. The result is a splendid establishment with great ambiance, safe food and that feeling of being home while far away. The Tibetan staff are nice
The restaurant serves both western and Tibetan food and you really should try the Yak steak. It's much more tender than the look of these hairy beast would make you think.
From what I remember, prices are a bit higher than in the average restaurant, but you'll get value for money and the certainty that you won't wake up the next morning with an explosive diarrhoea.
If you visit Lhasa, make sure you have dinner at Dunya at least one night. And if you get the chance, go there before it gets busy so you can have a chat with Fred in the bar. He's got some wonderful stories to tell you about his life in Tibet.
