It is the address of choice for gourmets and/or film lovers who leave the Cimathèque just opposite (building on the left of the synagogue). The only downside is the noisy acoustics, especially when it's full on Saturdays.

A refined place on the quayside of the old port, a stone's throw from the aquarium, to discover the tradition of Genoese cuisine in an atmosphere that's both simple and warm.

Located between Largo Argentina and Piazza Navona, this Italian-style fast-food restaurant enjoys a prestigious position, which explains the sometimes long waiting lines. Pasta Eat offers a large choice of pasta and ravioli which may seem tempting, but the cacio e pepe pasta did not convince us. The address has nevertheless the merit to satisfy the stomachs in the heels, at small price. We regret however that the dishes are served in cardboard boxes with single use, even to eat on the spot.

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.
