Mayke Ame (Maji A'mi)
On the southeast corner of the Barkhor circuit stands Lhasa's most enchanting eatery. This may be the first Tibetan chain restaurant -- they have outlets in Beijing and Kunming. If it's chilly, take a seat on the second floor, with its comfy sofas and relaxing Tibetan folk music. On a sunny day, soak up the spectacle of thekora(circuit) from the third-floor balcony. The manners of the staff are strained by the Han clientele -- the most popular Chinese guidebook lists one restaurant, and this is it. There are many excellent vegetarian choices, including spinach-tofu ravioli, and the vegetable curry set with delicious dal.
