The restaurant is located on Cimbulac, in a lively place where there are hotels, service facilities, a ski school, rental offices, shops. In addition, the cable car station from Medeo is just a few steps away, taking the skaters up.
The first thing that caught my eye was the lack of steps, which is important for someone wearing ski boots.
The menu is for every taste, but I preferred Kazakh cuisine and ordered beshparmak, taking baursaks for tea. And I did not lose! I really liked it!
Cozy colorful interior. The price tag is above average. The service is excellent, the waiters are courteous. The menu is varied. You can have a nice snack if you don't have to worry about the prices.
Among the advantages: they are really delicious, an extensive range of meat dishes from both European and national cuisine; the staff is always responsive, knows the menu perfectly and will always tell you with a choice.
Among the disadvantages: the amount of the average check is too high.
At first, the chairlift plunged into a milky mist, and then it turned sharply cold. When I went down to the intermediate station of Shimbulak, I was already completely frozen.
To keep warm, I went to the Chalet restaurant. The interior is decorated in a classic Alpine style with an abundance of wood, stuffed deer and peacocks.
I sat down at the window with a magnificent view of the mountains and ordered mulled wine with red wine - 3000 Tenge (600 rubles). It was cooked for a long time, but from the cold it seemed very tasty and fragrant.
I decided to eat in Almaty, everything is too long and expensive here.
The advantages are the view on the summer veranda. But something went wrong with us. We chose this place to drink coffee and fresh, ordered pizza with the expectation that it would be brought quickly. There was no task to have lunch and we were in a hurry. As a result, we sat for more than an hour and a half, during which time we received only drinks. we see our waiter carrying a pizza, another waiter catches up with him and tries to take the dish away. After some discussion, the pizza is taken to another table. We are told that the dough has not yet come up. So we only drank drinks, did not receive any explanations or apologies, and also paid for the service. Perhaps the waiter didn't like that we had a small order, or perhaps that we are Russian tourists (most likely). I have not seen in any country in the world that the nationality of a tourist is some kind of priority for the service. I hope that the quality of service will somehow improve in this institution. Such beautiful mountains, a world-class resort and such poor service.
So: here is the most delicious tom yam. No matter what anyone says. It's true. Salads are difficult to master alone, even though they are delicious. In third place - USSR shish kebab and cheburek. From the recommendations, book a table in advance, especially on weekends, since the staff is sooooo adequate and professional.
A great restaurant with a nice view and a kitchen.
I was passing through, on business. It turned out to be 1 day, in which I decided to climb the mountain and have lunch at the same time. The choice fell on the Chalet. I highly recommend trying a steak made from local meat. Personally, I liked it much more than the famous ribai.
The view is great
We ski and live here for the 2nd year. A good hotel for adequate money. Of course, sometimes there are problems related to weather conditions. Those you can go down to Medeo only by lift and then it is better to plan the departure and arrival times correctly. The hotel staff helps their guests to solve these and other problems as much as possible. Thank them very much. We were a big company from Russia, Israel and the UK. Hooray, everything is fine.
One of the catering establishments in the resort. In general, everything is delicious, the view from the window is beautiful, the atmosphere is pleasant. There were two, somewhat slow service, drinks were waiting for 10-15 minutes. The waiters cannot answer simple questions about the dishes, they go to clarify... Bill for 5 with beer 118000tenge/ 20000+₽
I recommend horse meat dishes!
I really love this place in the high-altitude resort of Shymkent, everything is as always at the highest level, shish kebabs juicy Eggplant tender, one minus was not found by our beloved waiter Aydin, it's a pity that the management does not appreciate real professionals in their field, they will always find a table and tell you what dishes and drinks to choose
Every time you go up on the lift to Cimbulac, be sure not to deny yourself the pleasure of eating in this Alpine-like institution. Delicious food, lots of drinks, including a variety of tinctures, shish kebab of the USSR is worth something! And what kinds! At the entrance, for me personally, a memorable element of the interior is the guttered huge candles. It is very unusual and cozy. A great place to keep warm after skiing in winter or just enjoy the comfort at any other time of the year. How many times have I been to Cimbulac - I always chose this Chalet. I definitely recommend it.
A great place with a great view, the prices certainly bite, but this is a tourist place. Fast serving of dishes, delicious tea.

We always come to sit and have lunch when we go up to the Cimbulac.
The restaurant is a kind. But inside, the interior, filled with details, arouses curiosity.
The check is above average for obvious reasons, but the portions are large, so a lot of dishes for a good lunch may not be required.
They cook delicious. If you are not a stickler for strict food systems, then try horse meat dishes.
A great view restaurant on the mountain. The kitchen is super. It takes half an hour to drive from the city. I recommend it to everyone. There is no such thing in the city. It's very cozy.
Beautiful view (if you're sitting outside, you haven't been inside), excellent service, blankets if it's cold. Delicious shish kebab.
The price tag is high, but given the location, it is understandable
The peak was not pleased with the weather at the bottom of +35, at the top of +5 there was snow and rain. So you need to take warm clothes with your sub.
The interior is bomb-like. Animal heads (I don't know if they're real; bottles of wonderful liquids, retro photo archive. The menu is excellent, and the prices are even better, given the location, proximity to the mountains and the view from your table (even outside, even inside).
Bogically delicious and a lot. Every bite is an explosion of taste.
The waiters were very courteous, they came up to check if everything was in order, advised a table by the window, brought a heater so that we would warm up after the slope.
The restaurant justifies its price by 150%. Both the service and the dishes.
Once, 10 years ago, I tasted the most delicious lamb quads in my life here, and I still remember their taste. This is a must-visit place in Kazakhstan.
The service is so-so, the food is tasteless, for such horse prices they could have provided better service. The place has been crying for repairs for a long time, everything is old. It used to be better. I am very disappointed
Super tasty! We came from Moscow.
We tried khachapuri, manti, shish kebab and hodgepodge, everything is incredibly delicious!
The prices are expensive, but it's worth it 😄

Perhaps due to the large flow of people, perhaps due to lack of funds)) which is doubtful, it's not clean, especially the floors.
Excellent restaurant, sea buckthorn tincture vanlav :) and in combination with the views... Mmmm, the only drawback is that it's expensive, but it's still located on a slope.
