Oasis Oasis offers schnitzels, German pastries, and Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake). OASIS is a modernly styled and lovingly furnished guesthouse with a public cafe. Opened in January 2006, it is run by a friendly German-Austrian couple, who have lived in Mongolia for more than 7 years. The café has the feel of a small Bavarian café and has a small but varied menu.

It is not in a location that is convenient to walk to, and drivers should honk at the gate so that they can park inside the grounds. It is in a rough looking part of town (just off the traffic circle by the Catholic cathedral on the road heading towards Terelj). It is a favorite place for bikers to stay while traversing the vast country. There is even more than great food available here. You can rent a motorcycle, stay in a ger, or even order custom made European quality pine furniture (they teach local Mongolians how to do this to help people break the cycle of poverty). This place is a MUST VISIT!

Opanas Ukrainian Restaurant 1 (near the embassy) Waitresses and waiters in Ukrainian costumes greeted and seated us. If you want to have a lunch outside the Embassy but do not want to drive too far, the Consular Section recommends Opanas. Their prices are not high, and they have a choice of carry-out readymade meals and cakes. Try to arrive before 12:30, as it gets quite crowded after that.

Opanas Ukrainian Restaurant 2 (near Gandan Monastery) As you walk in, the entire restaurant is nicely decorated with tiled walls and floors. This restaurant has another location next to Sky Department Store and seems to have a very similar menu, although the one near Sky is not nearly as big or nicely decorated. To get there, go west on Peace Avenue and take a right on the one way street near Narantuul (look for the Hello Kitty store on the left hand side at the same intersection). On the day we went, it was the first right after the barricades ended in the middle of Peace Avenue separating traffic.
