Of several long-established rooftop restaurants on Changspa Rd, ever-popular Wonderland has neither the best view nor the snazziest decor but the food is consistently reliable, especially the Indian and Tibetan dishes (the owners are exiled TIbetans). The coffee and cakes are excellent; and the place opens well before most others, making it ideal when you want an early start.
