Good food warms the heart and feeds the soul.
Most vegetables and fruit are harvested from organic farms at the campsite. Most dairy products are purchased from local nomadic families and pasteurized on-site. By tradition, Mongolia’s livestock roams free and feasts on a wide variety of grasses. Purchasing local food not only assures the best quality, but also provides this remote region with opportunities for economic growth through responsible tourism. The fixed menus include Mongolian specialties—such as buuz, a meat or vegetable stuffed dumpling, as well as tsuivan, a noodle dish mixed with meat and vegetables—as well as Western-style dishes like shepherd’s pie and kale salad. The restaurant can meet all dietary needs with advance notice for guests who are Gluten Free, Vegetarian, or Vegan. Staples of the Mongolian diet include stewed meats, stone-roasted barbecue, dumplings, and hotpot—meat, noodles, and vegetables cooked in a hot pot. The traditional foods are hearty and include mutton and beef; milk from sheep, cows, and goats; as well as flour from buckwheat, wheat, and oats.
