Lots of reviews over here mention Mongol food, which is fundamentally wrong. I am an expert on this region and I can state that it is not a Mongol cuisine, but a Buryat one. Althogh they are close. This is the fancy restaurant in Irkutsk. The menu is quite interesting. I ordered hot tea with milk, and of course local baozi (pozy as they are known locally). The owner has a collection of hats - sometimes they show it to the visitors, but I was not that lucky)))

Nice setting with a menu full of specialities from the area and beyond. Unfortunately the horse steaks were out, so had to go for secondary choice. Dumplings were quite nice, the horse sausage was delicious, but the unfortunate one in our group ordered a filet mignon, that was clearly not what it should have been. Terribly chewy chunk of beef. The soups with horse meat were unimpressive and the service was distant which altogether left us a bit unsatisfied. Most likely there are better options nearby.

I visited this restaurant with a big group of cousins. The restaurant offers the ethnic food from my original region Buryatiya. We had very special national dishes but there are also dishes adapted to a "european" taste. The service was excellent! Negative point: no wifi (you have to register with a russian mobile number); it's in a very busy street (when you go out for a sigarette, there are lots of cars passing by).
