Description

Pemba Sherpa -- a native of Nepal who made his living as a mountain guide before settling in Colorado -- built this restaurant around his idea for a "traveler's lounge," a place for climbers and adventurers to gather and plan, to reminisce, to tell true stories and to make up a few others.

For starters, they're free; there's been a disturbing trend lately of some places charging for their chips and salsa, which, in our world, is tantamount to a dive bar charging for bowls of... More »

  • 2004 | Best Tibetan/Nepalese

    Sherpa's owner, Pemba Sherpa, comes with heavy-duty street cred: The guy actually is a Sherpa, with more than twenty ascents over 20,000 feet to his credit. He grew up in Nepal, in the shadow of Everest, eating the kind of food he now serves in a restaurant that's decorated with artifacts of his previous life -- the snowshoes, gunny bags and ice axes of his former career -- and photos of him today, still climbing.
