Street food in Bhutan isn't like what you'd expect in other Asian countries. Don't go looking for busy night markets or rows of food carts - that's just not how things work here. But what you will find is pretty special in its quiet way.
Most of the street food happens around small towns like Thimphu and Paro. You'll spot local women selling fresh momos from tiny stalls, or find someone cooking up some seriously spicy pork dishes right on the street corner. The chillies here will make you sweat - Bhutanese people don't mess around with their spice levels.
What's cool is that you're not just buying food, you're getting a little slice of daily life. The vendors know everyone, kids run around grabbing snacks after school, and you might end up sharing butter tea with strangers who are curious about where you're from.
Eating street food is honestly one of the most genuine things to do in Bhutan. It's not touristy or fancy - just real people making real food.
