Ulaanbaatar


Given it's always packed, this is seemingly one of Ulaanbaatar’s most popular restaurants, with a long menu featuring everything from burgers, pizzas and buffalo wings to sushi and traditional Mongolian dishes. There are big salads, including Thai steak and caesar, and Latino fare, including chicken tacos. The US-style breakfasts are some of the best around.

Sit in the airy atrium for maximum sunlight and try to catch the attention of the waiters as they zip around serving mountainous portions to the hungry masses.
