Even better, meals here are quite reasonable. You can get perfectly reasonable pizza for 3-10 USD, even a night out at a fancy French cafe shouldn't pass $20. Consider splurging on a couple good meals here, especially if headed out for a long trek into the country.We are proud to announce that starting this year of 2012 we are started to make our own organic vegetarian meals, serving in our 'Princes' tourist camp. We are sure that food in Mongolia is not comperable with any other countries, a big portion of delicious meal will be served during your tour!
