Memory Box Cafe

Top choice in Dunhuang


This comfy and eclectically designed cafe with ample greenery, high ceiling, voluminous glass windows, a vast aquarium with huge, colourful fish and lots of neat little compartmentalised tables to sit down at serves a range of drinks and Chinese and western snacks, including Illy coffee and some imported beers. It also has a few nice seats out front in warmer weather.

The cafe further eases into a relaxing low gear with easy-going guitar music (Jack Johnson) and even Tom Waits, and the menu is also decent, with tasty garlic and tuna spaghetti (¥45), steaks and much more as well as cakes and other bites.
