try Asian dishes including tagturitan soup, a spicy chicken and potato-based
Korean stew, or crispy pork belly with noodles. Irish and Mongolian beers
are available and the pub features outdoor covered seating, where guests
can enjoy a drink and snack while taking in the hustle and bustle of the
surrounding streets.
Altai Mongolian Grill
The Altai Mongolian Grill introduces an innovative way of dining. Rather than a set menu, guests create their own meal according to their individual preferences from a number of vegetables, meats, noodles, seasoning and sauces before the skilled Altai chefs cook the meal. While menus vary from location to location, the Bimex Holding Building branch features a varied range of ingredients for guests to mix and match including beef, mutton, horse meat and soy chunks which can be cooked in sauces including Asian ginger root and Korean bulgogi.

Azzurro is a luxury Mediterranean restaurant situated at the very top of the Monnis Tower, a prime location offering stunning panoramic views of Ulaanbaatar. Azzurro, meaning ‘blue’ in Italian, features a stylish yet comfortable lounge area and is elegantly decorated in white marble with wooden walls and blue-tinted windows to reflect the restaurant’s name. Italian-born executive chef Alberto Boccelli has created a menu of delicious dishes combining the traditional Mediterranean flavours of Italy, Spain and southern France.
