Olgii, Mongolia
Pamukkale Restaurant
A local dining fixture in Ölgii, western Mongolia's Kazakh-majority provincial capital, Pamukkale Restaurant occupies a city where the supply chain itself is the story. Ingredients travel long distances across the Altai steppe before reaching the table, and the cooking reflects the pastoral economy that surrounds it. For travellers passing through one of Central Asia's most remote urban centres, it offers a grounded alternative to the standard guesthouse fare.
