Almaty /ˈælməti/ (Kazakh: Алматы, Almaty [ɑlmɑˈtə]; Russian: Алматы), formerly known as Alma-Ata /ˌælmə.əˈtɑː/ (Russian: Алма-Ата) and Verny (Russian: Верный Vernyy), is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,797,431 people, about 8% of the country's total population. It served as capital of the Kazakh state in its various forms from 1929 to 1997, under the influence of the then Soviet Union and its appointees. Alma-Ata was the host city for a 1978 international conference on Primary Health Care where the Alma Ata Declaration was adopted, marking a paradigm shift in global public health. In 1997, the government relocated the capital to Astana in the north of the country, which is about 12 hours away by train.

I had the pain perdu based on the reviews in TripAdvisor. I was a little disappointed as the crust was over fried. Had the Raf coffee with orange as recommended by the waiter. It was really good! The ambience is good with English Menu. The service staff spoke some English.

Went for dinner with colleagues. This is a bit more expensive than the normal restaurant but worth it in my opinion.Many Kazakh movies have been filmed here it appears as they are displayed on the menu which is very extensive.I loved the food and some of what we had was the salmon caviar, a full sole fish (speciality and large), some kebabs. And of course a nice bottle of Russian Standard vodka - suggest you order the small or large bottle instead of ordering by glass.Service was decent, and the Montenegran chef came personally to serve the Sole fish which was a nice touch.

A very cozy restaurant with a beautiful view if you choose a table at the far end. After some skiing, a glass of wine and some food would be a great reward, which they offer gladly. Food quality is just acceptable, but considering the comfy environment one does not complain much.

A personal favourite. Cheerful, friendly service makes up for limited English. The menu comes in English, so start with that. Not sure about the home made vodka, but worth trying out of curiosity. Not haute cuisine, but good basic Russian food. Recommend the pelmeni and the mushroom and potato vareniki.

Almaty is not really your foodie city, that is why I was pleased that I found this restaurant. We came as a big company of 10, were quickly seated and served. The restaurant has a broad spectrum of foods of different countries. There are oyetsrers, Thai, American and Medirrenean dishes in the menu. We ordered lots of starters and mains. None of starters disappointed, everything was fresh and well cooked. The mains were a mixed picture. The meats were good, but I was disappointed with my Kiev chicken. The staff were great, both the waiting staff and both sommeliers. Great choice of wines, less so of beer. Definitely , I wil visit when I am back to Almaty.

Weâve been here 3 times and had potato soup (excellent), broccoli soup (good), pasta with chicken and bacon (excellent) and pasta with mushrooms and spinach (good). They have a big menu, offering anything from pasta, burger, pizza, salads and meat to traditional dishes. Helpful are the pictures of the dishes in the menu, since there were no English menus. Prices are very affordable (soup between 700-800 Tenge, burger 1600 Tenge, pasta dishes start at 1300 Tenge). There is a 10% service charge and 50 Tenge charge for containers if you order take away. Staff was very nice. Absolutely recommend it. If this was in any way helpful, please leave a like. Otherwise weâll donât know if anyone reads this. Thanks!First of all, thank`s for your review. We are very glad, that you like our pub and we`re already done with menu in English language, it will be ready in several days :) We will wait for your next visit! With our best wishes, your Che.
