Est. by Ramesh Karki Our Story
From a chef’s passion to Pokhara’s table
More than twenty years ago, our founder Ramesh Karki moved to Japan and began his career as a chef, cooking across many restaurants and cuisines from every part of the world.
Along the way he developed a passion for cooking with fresh ingredients, learning from local and international kitchens and bringing those influences together in his own approach.
Fresh Elements grew from that approach. Today, the restaurant brings its kitchen, bar, rooftop, projection screen and live music together in one Lakeside space.
What we serve
Healthy food for every time of day

Our kitchen brings several cuisines together, with a relaxed children’s menu for family guests. Vegetables are washed in filtered water, and hygiene is treated as a daily priority.
The Longest Bar

Conversation flows over sparkling glasses and ambient music while our mixologists conjure new concoctions and time-honored classics — with wines we import ourselves from Europe.

I spent six weeks in Pokhara and ate at Fresh Elements every day. The food is delicious and fresh — the balance of spices and the creativity of the dishes, wow! European or Asian, they make them all perfect. I am a very picky eater and always ended up back here. The staff are exceptional. What a lovely place!
“
I have been to Fresh Elements five times. The food was great, tasty and hygienic. I ordered rosemary chicken — the best, and the first time I got the real taste of rosemary chicken. If you are looking for quality food in Pokhara, get your best meal here. Probably the most valuable restaurant of Pokhara.
“
Good food, good service, good ambience. Don’t miss this place when in Pokhara.
