Rosemary and Thyme

Where to find Rosemary and Thyme

Rosemary and Thyme is in Glory Lane, the southern district of Novigrad, just a short walk from Glory Gate. The quickest way there is to fast travel to the Glory Gate signpost and walk into Glory Lane. Later in the game Dandelion renames the place the Chameleon, so if you are looking for the Chameleon, you are looking for the same building. You can see the exact spot, and every signpost around it, on our interactive Velen & Novigrad map.

From the outside Rosemary and Thyme is a typical Novigrad townhouse of timber and brick, with a sign over the door and a front room that has seen better days. When Geralt first arrives, the place looks exactly like what it is: a former brothel left without its owner, with empty tables, a few bits of furniture out of place and some uninvited guests making themselves at home.

The house was once a brothel run by Alonso Wiley, known as Whoreson Senior, a patron of the arts and a great admirer of Dandelion’s poetry. When he died he left the business to the bard, and Dandelion invited his friend Zoltan Chivay to help him run it as a tavern. Dandelion claims the name brings Temerian cooking to mind. Everyone else thinks of a certain old ballad.

In The Witcher 3

Geralt comes here in Broken Flowers looking for Dandelion, finds Zoltan throwing out a group of vagrants instead, and helps with the rest. A search of the ground floor turns up Dandelion’s planner, a list of the women he met before vanishing, and the hunt for the bard begins.

Once Dandelion is free, he renames the place the Chameleon and turns it into a cabaret and tavern. Getting it ready is the job in Cabaret, and the final look depends on the choices Geralt made in earlier conversations. From then on the Chameleon is a friendly hub: Triss Merigold waits upstairs at the start of Blindingly Obvious, a messenger bursts in with bad news about Priscilla to begin Carnal Sins, and Zoltan is the first opponent in Gwent: Old Pals and the one who hands out A Dangerous Game.
