We might have only been in Almaty for two days, but we managed to eat some great meals.

Dinner our first night was at the Kishlak Restaurant. You can see Vicky, Pete, and Nora at our table. The restaurant was cosmopolitan but the Kazakh’s are still in touch with their roots.

The next photo was our salad. It was tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, white onions, and dill with other spices. It was delicious.

Our main dish was salmon with cooked vegetables of tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers. I don’t know where the salmon was from but it was excellent!

The next two photos are from lunch the next day at the Caravan Restaurant.

The fried salad looked just like the vegetables from last night’s main dish, with the addition of mushrooms.

Our main dish was BBQ chicken with tomatoes, fried potatoes, and a fresh cream sauce (for dipping?).

As you can see, we were not suffering when it came to meal time.
