After exploring Osh Bazaar, we'll continue our culinary adventure at a cosy, family-run restaurant known for its exceptional tea brewed in a traditional Russian samovar. Here, you’ll get to taste Kattama bread, a cherished element of Kyrgyz cuisine. Kattama is a crispy, golden brown flatbread made from a simple blend of flour, water, and salt, cooked to perfection on a hot griddle. The combination of this warm, flavourful bread with aromatic tea from the samovar offers a genuine and delightful breakfast experience, letting you savour the true essence of local dining traditions.

Exploring the Philharmonic Hall is one of the highlights of our food walking tour. The magnificent building is surrounded by some of Bishkek's most important landmarks, including the International Kyrgyz University, the Kyrgyz State University and the City Department.

At Faiza, one of the oldest and most loved restaurants in Bishkek, our tour continues with a taste of authentic Oriental cuisine. This place is famous for its wide variety of flavours and dishes that appeal to everyone, no matter where they come from or what they prefer to eat. Faiza is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where everyone feels welcome. It doesn't matter who you are – you'll find something on the menu to enjoy.
