From Central Tower, head to University Street (Ikh Surguuliin), where Le Bistro Français is located fronting the Mongolian National University. Frequented by both locals and expats, this quite pricey fine dining venue is famed for its thick, juicy steaks served with three sauce options. One can also get escargot (snails), duck, salmon, large servings of salads and big bowls of pasta. The wine list is extensive and the beer offerings include Chimay, a popular Belgian brand. For dessert, go for mousse au chocolat, creme brulee, banana splits and ice cream. Newly and elegantly refurbished, one can choose to sit indoors in cosy surroundings, or pass the time at their covered veranda. Taxi drivers know it as French bistro. Tel: 320022.
A few steps away, on the same side of the street, is another French establishment, Le Triskell Creperie, which serves savory and sweet French crepes as their specialty. Good food is served amid beautiful wooden interiors. Tel: 329797.
