Beer drinkers should make a beeline for Bhutan's premier microbrewery (beers Nu 120) to try its flagship Red Rice lager and hoppy IPA (our favourite, only available on tap). The huge taproom and restaurant is a professional set-up, with live music on Friday and Saturday nights, and if you like what you taste, you can can buy bottled beer to go.
If you get peckish, try a scoop of local sikam (dried spicy pork) or masala peanuts. For something heavier, the full restaurant (mains Nu 350) offers everything from burgers and steaks to wild tea leaf salad and grilled river prawns, with a suitably beery stout ice cream float on offer for dessert.
