The best restaurants Karakol

A small cafe with a rather nice atmosphere, and having adapted to the touristic turn of the city. The menu is in English but the food and recipes are local (soups, laghmans, chachlyks...) but the portions are adapted to the appetites of the trekkers and the prices have remained reasonable. Unfortunately, this is not so much the case with more western recipes, and we recommend that you stay in the region for a while, otherwise you will be disappointed and wait a very long time for your plate. Good atmosphere and prime location in the city centre.

The only really lively restaurant in the evening. The hotel is a brand new hotel, the dishes are good and rich. There is no menu in English, but the servers are co-operative!

You will find many stalls at the bazaar, all offering the same Dungan speciality: ashlyanfu. These are gelatinous noodles mixed with a (very) spicy soup, which you can calm down by accompanying it with a potato cake with spring onions. It is particularly invigorating in winter, to fight against the cold, but the locals manage to eat it even in the hottest weather! Count a hundred soms for the bowl of ashlyanfu. Add tea and a few raw vegetables and your complete meal will not exceed 250 soms.
