The restaurant even published their messages on the notebooks, which are available on the downstairs store.
It is a good place to relax after a tiring trip. Another thing you can entertain yourself in Makye Ame is reading the customers' messages and leaving you own.

Makye Ame, a yellow building, used to the residential place for the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso three hundred years ago. The term Makye Ame comes from his poem, meaning "holy mother", "pure lady" or 'beautiful ancient dream" in Tibetan language.
Makye Ame has witnessed a romantic legend of the sixth Dalai Lama. One day Tsangyang Gyatso was having a rest there when a pretty young girl unveiled the door curtain, looking inside. Her moon-like face shone the tavern, as well as Tsangyang Gyatso's heart. This legend might be the best explanation of why this restaurant is in a romantic atmosphere.
