Where to Eat in Myeongdong: Potala Tibetan Restaurant

A great choice for vegetarians. 
With 2 locations: Myeongdong and Jong-no 3-ga
We went to the former and had a great lunch.


First thing to note is that the interior decor is absolutely stunning. 
Almost every corner of the restaurant is garnished with Tibetan artifacts.
From the table clothes to the lighting fixtures, this restaurant is beautiful to look at. 





This is the Vegetable Polao. Basmati riced sweetened with raisins and given a great crunch with cashews. Slightly bland but with the cilantro cutney served on the side it was delicious.


This is the Potala Special Soup and Rice. It was salty but pleasant filled with hearty veggies like cauliflower, carrots, and cabbage. 





These are the Vegetable Fried Momo which are cute little dumplings filled with cabbage, carrots, and a potato curry. The dipping sauce was paprika based (or at least I suspect) and had a nice kick at the end. It was quite intense but complimented the Momo very nicely.





We received complimentary iced tea ^_^ 
A great way to finish the meal. 


We highly recommend this place for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. We hope to try more Tibetan dishes as well as some of the Indian/Nepali dishes. 

A great place for lunch or dinner. Definitely check it out!

Check out their website for a full menu and how to get to either location.
