Apart from Ambient Café, you should definitely go here for lunch (Ambient is more for smaller food). They have a perfect hamburger and staff are nice, and again good wifi (this is a luxury in all of Bhutan). They also have outdoor seating, though the dust and wind makes it a bit uncomfortable to stay there for long.

Well situated in the heart of town with a cozy indoor space and outdoor picnic tables, this is the place to go for just about everything if you are a little homesick for some western style food and drink, or even company. There is good coffee, all-day breakfast, burgers, ribs, pizza and bhutanese food. The Red Panda beer is addictive... More

Far descent, international standard available here. This is the place where expats here enjoy their life. Good food, nice coffee and good staff. Try beef ribs rice, very tasty. Coffee is ok and they are offering Illy but very expensive. If you head for coffee you better try another one.

The Zone has a good ambience, the food is good but in no way remarkable. However, it is extremely consistent.

After 5 days travelling around the Bhutan's countryside, it was time for some decent western style food- just loved the ribs and burgers. centrally located , good meeting place, ample parking. the Bhutanese Mo-Mo(s) was the best I tried in my frequent trips to Bhutan.

Many western standards: hamburgers, eggs and meat breakfasts, and milkshakes make this an appealing stop if you eat this kind of food. The food is decent but in no way remarkable.

The Zone, Thimphu has the most amazing atmosphere. A beautiful bend of cultures with the choice of music and decor. It's a very cozy and laid back enviroment. You will instantly feel at home and when you do get home you will miss it! You must try the Yak burger, it's delicious. I'm yet to try the ribs but I've... More

We were in Thimphu for five days and frequented the Zone, since many other restaurants seemed to be closed for the holidays. They have a lot of Western favorites. The burger was good (the hot dog was not), and the milkshake was pretty awesome. It was always busy, and the service was good. It's a good place to go if... More
