Our Story

Born of a royal vision

Traditional Cuisine House sits within the One Gewog One Product (OGOP) outlet at the Ecological Park in Changangkha — an initiative of Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen to encourage and sustain rural artisans and their products. Her Majesty granted a section of the OGOP complex to the TPTC, which started the restaurant to generate revenue that sustains its work supporting the community of Trongsa Penlop scholars.

For us, it is about people — and especially the relationship between our guests and the person serving them. Unemployed youth are taught to appreciate traditional skills and products, and given on-the-job training to build professional careers of their own.
