Detour Mongolian hot pot and barbecue are misnomers. Neither foreign-influenced cooking style remotely resembles traditional Mongolian food, which typically lacks spice, flavor and variety. One spot to fill up on local fare like buuz (mutton dumplings) and suutetsia (milk tea) is at the 24-hour café located in an old MIAT airplane. To get there, follow Peace Avenue west about 2 km from Sukhbataar Square. But when mutton gets a tad tiresome, the recent availability of lattes, crêpes and sushi in Ulan Bator means that you can expand your culinary horizons. Churchill's, across from the Children's Palace, and Millie's Café, on the second floor of the Aero-voyage building (across from the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts) are great spots for breakfast, lunch or a coffee (and Millie's does a mean burrito). Café de France, opposite the Zaluuchuud Hotel, offers French cooking, while Indian food lovers should seek out Hazara, located on Peace Avenue between the Wrestling Palace and the Negdelchin Hotel. Capitale Douala, three doors down from Millie's, cooks up African specialties. Kimchi fans will rejoice in the Seoul Restaurant, in Nairamdal Children's Park, while sashimi savorers should head to the Sanshiro Japanese restaurant on Seoul Street, a few blocks west of the state circus building. For a slice of Italy, head one block west of the circus to Marco Polo Pizza, or try Pizza de la Casa: its outlets are on Peace Avenue (west of the State Department Store) and across from the Ulaanbaatar Hotel. Ding Chen Chinese Hotpot is one block south of the MIAT office (look for the red sign across from the Art Cinema). To cap any great meal, get a taste of local beer at a microbrewery: belly up to the Khan Brau, next to the State Central Library, or the Chinggis Khan Brewery, just left of the Children's Palace. As the locals say, Saikhan hool loorai--good eating! |
