Bhutanese food is known for its savory and unique flavours that are closely associated with the nation's way of life and culture. Bhutan's cuisine is renowned for its love of cheese and chili, these two ingredients appear in practically every dish influenced by the country's Himalayan climate and Buddhist customs. Meals are substantial and frequently consist of rice, regional veggies, and a soul-warming spiciness. In Bhutan, dining is more than just eating but rather an experience that introduces visitors to the essence of Bhutanese culture, which is straightforward, healthful, and flavourful.


Here are the list of popular foods to try during your trip to Bhutan.

Ema Datshi

Bhutan's national dish, ema datshi, is made with cheese and chiles. It is regarded as the essence of Bhutanese cuisine and is typically eaten over red rice. It is spicy, warming, and a must-try for any tourist.

Red Rice

Red rice, a delicate grain with a somewhat nutty flavour, is a mainstay of every Bhutanese meal. Grown in the lush valleys of Paro and Punakha, it goes well with stews, curries, and Datshi foods.

Datshi Kewa

This hearty recipe is a thick, creamy curry made with potatoes, cheese, and chiles. Both residents and tourists adore this softer variation of Ema Datshi.

Datshi Shamu

A delectable dish with cheese and mushrooms that is particularly well-liked in the summer when fresh wild mushrooms are picked from Bhutan's forests.

Momo

Steamed dumplings filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables are known as momo in Bhutan. They are the ultimate comfort food for visitors and can be found everywhere, from upscale hotels to small markets.

Jasha Maru

Diced chicken, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and chilies are combined to make this fiery stew. It is one of the most well-liked non-vegetarian dishes in Bhutan and is frequently served with red rice.

Suja

A traditional Himalayan beverage prepared with salt, butter, and tea leaves. It may taste strange at first, but it's quite comforting and a significant aspect of Bhutanese hospitality.
