The first European explorers set sail with hopes of finding new, exotic spices to placate the palates of epicurious monarchs, but all they found were heaps of boring, inedible gold. Pick up where they left off by broadening your mouth's horizons with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Nepali and Tibetan fare from Everest on Grand, located on Syndicate Street and Grand Avenue. With a table of four, this Groupon is good for $30 worth of fare. Everest on Grand is one of the state’s first Nepali restaurants, dutifully doling out fresh, authentic Himalayan fare to St. Paul’s ravenous masses. Replete with chicken and lamb-anchored dishes as well as hearty vegetarian options, Everest’s menu offers singular meals for herbivores, meatavores, and culinary switch hitters. Great for friendly catch-ups, nerve-soothing first dates, and third dates that mark the transition from seeing each other to seeing each others’ souls, Everest on Grand offers a blissfully bona fide taste of Tibet.
