Where to eat
Veranda Terrace Restaurant Ulaanbaatar

Veranda is arguably one of my favourite restaurants in U.B. to dine at. The service is excellent, miles above most restaurants in the city, and the chef is of European descent, and trained in many decent cooking varieties.

The inside is very well decorated and the outside terrace is one of the best in the country. It feels like being in Rome and when sunny it is even nicer.

The food is well priced, not too expensive for the average traveller. Food-wise, I'd recommend the steak,  with seasoned potatoes, and the ice-cream is a nice finishing dessert.

A definite must. 

 
Pizza Della Casa Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

Pizza Della Casa is a quaint Pizza restaurant found just along Peace Avenue (as of July 2007, opposite the huge brick building with scaffolding). The prices are average to expensive and the layout is very pleasant for a quick lunch with friends. The service is good, the food is okay. Mongolians getting pizzas right on is very very rare, and as pizzas go in Ulaanbaatar, this is pretty good. 

The food is varied, offering lots of food from around mainland Europe, there are also a wide range of pastas and salads. If it was ranked out of ten, it would get a generous 7/10. 

 
Los Banditos Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

Los Banditos is an over-priced Indian/Mexican resturant slightly out of the centre of Ulaanbaatar. It's quite hard to find, I know this as it took us half an hour to find the place last time.

The food is over-priced, yet very very good. The Indian Curry is perfect, it should be as the owner is Indian, and the Mexican food is pretty good too.

The Menu includes European food, as well as Fish and Chips. Although, I'm yet to try that out.

Overall a nice restaurant with friendly service, but the price is off putting, and probably the reason that most Mongolian's don't eat there.

It's definitely a place to check out for the inquisitive traveller.

The Caesar Salad and the baby spinach salad come highly recommended and so do most of the pasta dishes.
