Norzin Lam · Thimphu · Since 2018

Good food,
good spirits.

A restaurant & bar next to Clock Tower Square. A Bhutanese kitchen with international plates, cocktails, Druk on tap and Bhutanese spirits — and something on every night of the week.

The kitchen

Ema datsi to BBQ chicken pizza.

Bhutanese cooking first — datsi, maru, paa, totsey, puta — with burgers, ramen, spaghetti and pizza alongside.

People love the BBQ chicken pizza. Beef steak and spicy sweet pork chops lead the house specials, and the hot chocolate and coffee are great.
