This place is fantastic! Easily the best brownie I’ve had in my 5 years living in Central Asia. The vibe is super chill—perfect for getting work done or catching up with a friend. Their beans are roasted to perfection, making for an excellent in-house cappuccino or a great cup of coffee at home!

Beefeater

Almaty · Restaurant

April 2026

We visited this highly regarded restaurant with high expectations, but overall left a bit underwhelmed. To start, we ordered the red peppers with cream—this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was unique, flavorful, and really well done. For mains, we had the pork ribs (300g) and the salmon with barbloc and red caviar. The salmon was a solid 4.5/5—very tasty and well-prepared, though by the end it felt quite heavy on salt and overwhelmed the palate a bit. The ribs, unfortunately, didn’t quite hit the mark for us (2.5/5). Of course, this is subjective—my husband is from Texas, so it’s hard not to compare—but they lacked the depth and richness we were hoping for. On the side, the mashed potatoes were smooth in texture but fell flat in flavor (2/5). The mushrooms were average (3/5), with a slightly rubbery texture that reminded us of frozen mushrooms, and they lacked any real bite. The accompanying gravy was overly salty and a bit heavy on the chives. That said, the service was great—attentive staff, and we appreciated having an English menu and servers who spoke some English. Overall, there were a few standout elements, but the meal as a whole didn’t quite live up to the restaurant’s reputation.
