The Astana Table

The centrepiece

Beshbarmak, the ceremony plate

Wide noodles, slow-boiled meat, onions and broth, shared from one platter. Say yes to the ritual: then ask what meat is on the platter before you commit.

Compose your menu

A three-course route through the table

Tell the dastarqan what matters tonight and it sets a first bite, a centrepiece, and a finish. Guidance for delegates, not a medical guarantee.

  1. Os pães dourados tornam-se rapidamente amigos do chá.

  2. O macarrão puxado estende a Rota da Seda em uma tigela profunda.

  3. O Balkaimak fecha a mesa suavemente: com mel, cremoso e feito para o chá.

Needs venue confirmation before joining this menu: Beshbarmak, Kuyrdak, Manty, Nauryz köje, Palau.

The gazetteer

Deeper cuts, drinks, and the GA table

Names to recognise on menus

Local drinks, small glass first

Kumys and shubat: fermented mare's and camel's milk: are sharp, fizzy and memorable. Start small; treat them as local context, not a ranked pick.

What a meal out costs

The survival kit puts a café breakfast at 3,000–5,000 ₸ and a café lunch or dinner at 7,000–8,000 ₸. Many cafés add a 5–15% service charge to the bill, so read it before you tip. Most restaurants in Kazakhstan do not serve pork, and tap water is not recommended for drinking: bottled water runs 200–350 ₸.

Meat-free addresses

The Organizing Committee names Veggie House, Koktem, Saladbar, Café Tselinnikov and Green Kitchen for vegetarian eating, and offers to recommend a place for a specific cuisine or budget: ask them rather than guessing from a map pin.

At the GA

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and the coffee breaks are covered by registration. Bring your badge: the meal area is badge-only and one badge admits one person. Dietary needs belong on the OC form first, then confirm at the serving point.

This atlas is a curiosity guide, not an OC endorsement. Rankings come from TasteAtlas; food-safety and allergy decisions start with registration and venue confirmation.
