In Ulaanbaatar, you will be dining at fine European and Asian cuisine restaurants. Mutton, beef, rice, and noodles form the basis of the Mongolian diet, so your meals will be based around this.

It is good food and our experience has been that guests are happy with this arrangement. Please let us know in advance if you are a vegetarian.
