Western Mongolia
The speciality at this carnivore's paradise is a humongous sharing platter of meat. Called the grand neriin hool (T60,000) it's piled high with roast chicken, fried chicken, beef ribs, beef steak with onions, noodles and fried potatoes; serves six to eight people. Half-sized version T35,000. The usual Mongolian chow, bulgogi (Korean-style grilled beef slices) and some Chinese dishes also available.
On the second floor underneath the Grand Hotel.
