16. The six-floor Rooftop Restaurant 

This is one of the best restaurants in Lhasa to see the view of Potala Palace.

Even though many western-style restaurants in Lhasa are doing their best to provide western food like Pizza, steak, and many others via inviting cooks from Nepal but still they lack the real taste.

We highly recommend Travelers try more Tibetan foods with less oil while traveling in Tibet. 

They are many local Tibetan restaurants offering Tibetan noodles, fried rice, and momos for a lower price near the Bhakor street and Tibetan residential areas. 

Conclusion

Even though many places outside of Lhasa and Shigatse are not developed and most of the available foods are local Tibetan food, we still recommend Travelers to try foods with less oil.

Having good food indeed plays a great role in the happiness of the trip.

We have seen Travelers who have to go to the toilet many times because of eating too much oily and unhealthy food.

Some of the Travelers have missed few of the sightseeing and they are also not comfortable while traveling so Tibet Travelers would like to recommend all the Travelers to eat healthy food like less oily, less chilly since the sun is quite strong in Tibet and bad foods will ruin the whole trip.
