CALM

MINDS

Simplicity, paired with quality service. The essentials, done properly, that's the Samye way.

BHUTANESE KITCHEN

Our kitchen is proudly, fully vegetarian, rooted in Bhutanese home cooking. The star is Ema Datshi, the national dish of chilies and farmhouse cheese, served alongside Kewa Datshi, Shamu Datshi and steaming red rice grown in the valleys around Thimphu.

Start your morning with a wholesome vegetarian breakfast, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, eggs, and warm butter tea or coffee.

Our dining room is a calm space for catching up on work or sharing a slow meal. In the evening, unwind at the bar, and for birthdays and anniversaries, we host warm little celebrations.
