Overview

  • Are you ready to discover why Almaty is the undisputed culinary capital of Central Asia?

    Too many travelers visit Almaty and only experience the surface of our food scene, missing the incredible layers of history hidden right beneath the surface. This isn’t just a food tour, it’s an exclusive, insider journey through time, culture, and the nomadic soul of Kazakhstan, told through five distinct culinary eras.

    Over the course of 4,5 hours, you will step off the generic tourist trails and walk the vibrant streets of Almaty with a passionate, local English-speaking guide (lived and studied in the US). Together, we will unlock the city's secrets by eating exactly where and how locals do.

Activity itinerary

Abylai Khan Avenue

  • 1h
Our culinary journey starts with a delicious breakfast at a cozy café that locals love. Here, we start the morning with warm, golden syrniki (soft cottage-cheese balls) served with traditional sour cream and sweet jam straight from a local farm. You'll learn about Almaty's breakfast culture and the lasting culinary influences of the Soviet era.

Almaty

  • 1h
Next up we'll visit Aqqu, a vibrant local favorite hidden away from the main streets, where Almaty’s creative crowd gathers. We’ll savor the ultimate comfort food: tender bell peppers packed with a savory, juicy meat filling, slow-simmered in a rich tomato, carrot, and sour cream gravy.

Restaurant Sandyq

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Our third stop is Sandyq. To truly understand Kazakhstan, you must taste its nomadic roots. At this legendary local institution, you’ll enjoy the most famous Kazakh dish - Beshbarmak. Experience true Kazakh hospitality where the locals eat.

Green Bazaar

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
We’ll visit the famous organic farmers' market to sample crisp local apples, traditional sweets, and vibrant Korean-Kazakh salads (yes, our local Korean community makes the best!). To top it off, we'll try fresh cottage cheese, artisanal sour cream, and pure, 100% natural pomegranate juice.

Almaty

  • 1h
Our final stop is Bitanga. Kazakhstan is a beautiful melting pot of ethnicities that arrived during the Soviet era, each bringing their own culinary traditions—which is why our food culture is so incredibly diverse today. Here, we’ll try a traditional Ukrainian borsch. Packed with a rich beetroot broth and vitamins, this hearty soup has kept generations healthy. Honestly, Bitanga’s borsch might just be the most delicious soup you'll find in all of Kazakhstan.
