Qazaq Gourmet
Kazakhstan
At a glance
Qazaq Gourmet is an Astana restaurant focused on contemporary Kazakh cuisine. Its style connects the country’s culinary traditions with modern cooking techniques, regional ingredients and a considered presentation. The menu is shaped by research into the food heritage of different parts of Kazakhstan, including local eating habits, seasonal produce and the distinct flavours associated with regional cooking.
The restaurant’s central idea is to present familiar cultural references in a more modern gastronomic form. Traditional customs, stories and legends provide the inspiration for dishes, giving the dining experience a cultural as well as culinary focus. The approach is suited to diners interested in learning more about Kazakh food through a structured, creative menu rather than a purely casual meal.
Qazaq Gourmet’s signature tasting experience is the “Өмір” set, an 11-course author’s menu built around stories connected with Kazakh culture. Each course forms part of a wider sequence, with presentation and flavour used to create a sense of connection between the food and the traditions behind it. The length and format make the set a natural choice for a planned dining occasion, particularly for guests who enjoy tasting menus and progressive service.
The restaurant also presents a broader menu beyond the tasting set, allowing the Qazaq Gourmet concept to be experienced in different formats. Its services include VIP rooms, catering, aviation catering and gift boxes. These options give the venue a role in private meals, hosted occasions and food-focused gifts, while the main restaurant remains centred on modern interpretations of national cuisine.
Located at Prospekt Mangilik Yel. 29 in Astana, Qazaq Gourmet suits visitors seeking a focused introduction to Kazakh gastronomy, as well as local diners looking for a contemporary treatment of familiar culinary traditions. The restaurant is especially appropriate for guests who value provenance, seasonal cooking and storytelling at the table. The tasting menu is not recommended for children under seven because of its duration and format. Reservations for the tasting experience are arranged through advance online payment, with confirmation sent by WhatsApp after payment.
