Phuenzhi Diner

Top choice in Western Bhutan


The 'Four Friends' is easily the best eating place in Khuruthang and is well known to guides. The food is delicious and reliable (as is the welcoming air-con) and the decor is cosy. If you don't eat here, your guide will probably book lunch at Sopsokha or at one of the tourist hotels.
