Restaurants cuisine du monde Kyrgyzstan

Still the best pizzas in Bishkek, in a room beautifully decorated with New York photographs (the name of the restaurant is itself a tribute to the big apple) and still as popular as ever with students and young couples in Bishkek. Rates have increased a little in recent years with the success of the establishment, but that is still correct and the portions are generous. Ideal to have fun without breaking the bank. The menu also includes salads and pasta dishes as well as burgers, but the latter are frankly nothing special.

The small terrace on the street, a few steps from the presidential palace, is nothing exceptional, but offers a good view of the busiest area of the city. Inside, a small effort has been made to rejuvenate the decor and style, but the whole remains a little sad and the service is still haphazard. Despite this, the food is good and plentiful, and the price remains modest. There's a good choice of pastas and pizzas, as well as a few mixed dishes (with a small selection of meats and fish). A great way to eat "almost Italian" for less!

The main attraction is the small terrace, decorated with beautiful black-and-white photos, where you can enjoy a Cibirskaya on draught, and where major sporting events are usually broadcast on a giant screen for expatriates. The basement features a lounge atmosphere and a maze of dimly lit rooms and private lounges (minimum consumption 3,000 soms). There are no big surprises on the menu, but the portions are generous and the meat of good quality. You can also order some rather successful cocktails.
