14 Thimphu restaurants rated for coeliac, vegan, halal, kosher, and major allergens. Every tier backed by cited sources.
The restaurant describes itself as '100% vegetarian' and 'Pure Veg' across several independent sources, including a Mappls listing that carries a 'Pure Veg' amenity flag. The owner-chef runs the kitchen with a clear vegetarian ethos. This is a structurally vegetarian kitchen.
Hotel New Grand Restaurant & Bar is repeatedly described as a pure vegetarian restaurant with a fully vegetarian menu. Multiple independent sources, including Wanderlog, HappyCow, and Airial Travel, confirm that the entire menu is vegetarian. This is a structural fact about the kitchen's offering, not merely a menu option.
The restaurant labels several items as vegan, including a Full Vegan Breakfast and vegan banana cake. Soy milk is available. Staff are described as knowledgeable about vegan options. A review from January 2026 reports that plant milk is no longer offered, which may limit dairy-free drink options. The kitchen is shared with vegetarian dishes.
Gluten-free items are marked on the menu. The kitchen uses a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Staff are described as knowledgeable about coeliac needs and cross-contamination protocols. This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, however. One highly sensitive coeliac diner reported a reaction to the fried chicken, suggesting the fryer may not be fully safe for everyone. The menu and kitchen setup make it a reliable choice for most, but very sensitive coeliacs should confirm current practices with staff before ordering.

Calling ahead and discussing needs with the owner or chef before visiting is advised.
