Bull 3

Top choice in Ulaanbaatar


Within the upmarket Blue Mon Building is this elegant restaurant that's always busy with well-dressed folk here for hotpot. Order an array of raw vegetables, sauces and thinly sliced meats, which are brought to your table on platters, then cook the ingredients in your personal cauldron of boiling broth. It also has two branches on Seoul St – Bull 1 and Bull 2.

There's a heap of delectable meat and veg items, and a well-stocked bar to ensure a buzzy, social atmosphere. It’s a great alternative to the meat-heavy menus you’ll experience at most other restaurants in town and service is top-notch.
