POPULAR TRADITIONAL BHUTAN FOOD

If you are planning on touring Bhutan, don’t fall prey to the culinary dangers that eating only at hotels and restaurants that cater to tourists will bring. Although some are excellent and have tempered the spices to appeal to foreign palates, we encourage travelers to venture beyond their comfort zone at least a few times and take their taste buds on a truly unique journey.

Traditional Bhutanese food has been influenced by its neighbors, especially China, Tibet, and India. But like the country itself, the local cuisine has been able to maintain its unique character. It’s less oily than Chinese or Indian food and spicier than most Tibetan dishes.
