Appropriately named Green Zone is a lush oasis, where plants seem to grow from walls and colourful, fresh ingredients appear in front of hungry diners. The cafe-style menu features sandwiches, burgers, quiche and soups. There's hummus, freshly baked bread, mini pizzas and salads with ingredients grown in the restaurant's hanging garden. Our go-to favourites are the broccoli soup, tuna melt and lasagne.
French owner Jessie has created a cosy and friendly cafe where expats, students, tourists and locals mingle over coffee and light meals. There's comfortable couches, counter-seating and a kid-friendly loft. Pick a book off the shelf or just listen to some good music. In summer, enjoy your meal on the sunny porch overlooking Builder's Sq. Check the Facebook page for events, as Green Zone hosts open-mic nights and local bands. The cafe is hidden behind trees, about 50m north of the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts.
