Author Tip
Cafe culture is growing in Ulaanbaatar, and the hub of activity occurs right around the corner from the Golden Gobi. Begin your coffee march at the Cafe Amsterdam, a Dutch-run literary café with books and delectable snacks. A few doors down is Chez Bernard, a Belgian-run place that does a roaring trade with the backpacker set. Nearby, the well-established and French-run Michelle's Bakery creates tasty apple turnovers and panini sandwiches.
