Restaurants in Thimphu – Restaurants in Thimphu can serve various options like Bhutanese cuisine, Indian Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine, continental, and some fusion flavors. Thimphu being the capital city of Bhutan has more spread menus for vegetable items, specialized cuisines like Thai, Korean, Indian and typical Bhutanese. The rest of the towns like Punakha, Paro, Phuentsholing has fewer options for restaurants. If you cross beyond these places, there is hardly any choice for dining outside the hotels.
Sale of meats in Bhutan are banned for two months in a year depending on the Bhutanese lunar calendar and at least three days in a month are observed as auspicious days where sales of meats are restricted. From this one can figure out that vegetarian options are plenty in Bhutan however most of the restaurants and hotels serve non-veg foods well.
Although you will find Indian foods, Chinese foods, Pure Veg, continentals, etc, it may not taste the same as back home, since it’s prepared by local chefs. If you wish to have a la carte, you need to talk to the restaurants before placing the order. Your meal order might take more time than expected and this is because tourism in Bhutan is seasonal and it’s not feasible for hotels or restaurants to keep a large number of people to sustain the business year long, therefore, limited people should manage everything, this delays your order. Please have some patience or you might pick up to do something once you placed the order if you think it’s going to take some order.
