What To Expect
Osh Bazaar
In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel to start your unique food tasting journey in Bishkek. Our first destination is the vibrant Osh Bazaar, a cornerstone of local culture. This bustling outdoor market is more than just a place to shop; it's where you can truly immerse yourself in the flavors and daily life of Kyrgyzstan. From fresh food products and spices to an array of local delicacies, Osh Bazaar offers an authentic taste of the region. Amidst the lively crowds and rich aromas, you’ll have the chance to sample traditional foods and understand why this market is a beloved spot among both locals and visitors.
170 Ulitsa Sydykova
After exploring Osh Bazaar, we'll continue our culinary adventure at a cozy, family-run restaurant known for its exceptional tea brewed in a traditional Russian samovar. Here, you’ll get to taste Kattama bread, a cherished element of Kyrgyz cuisine. Kattama is a crispy, golden brown flatbread made from a simple blend of flour, water, and salt, cooked to perfection on a hot griddle. The combination of this warm, flavorful bread with aromatic tea from the samovar offers a genuine and delightful breakfast experience, letting you savor the true essence of local dining traditions.

5.00An in depth, personalized, and perfectly blended tour combining important city highlights, true local cuisine, and the culture that makes Kyrgyzstan come to life. My day with Faruk was nothing short of spectacular. I started with a tour guide and left with a friend. One who goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable on every step of the journey. If only you could copy and paste him to do tours like this all over the world. Highly recommended to anyone at anytime.
Great food tour!

Would recommend to anyone who would like an overview of Bishkek in comfort and some fantastic food. The guide Anvar was excellent, really accommodating & friendly.

5.00This was a 4-hour tour of Bishkek that served as a great first-day in town activity. We started off by getting Kattama from a nearby spot, then perused the Osh Bazaar, then had an authentic meal at a favorite local restaurant, drove through key sites, and finished with tea and dessert. It was great to learn about Bishkek's history and see the sights all while eating delicious food
So much more than a food tour

5.00I only had one full day in Bishkek. The tour provided a wonderful combination of Bishkek sites and delicious food. Azamat was a brilliant guide - full of interesting stories and anecdotes about Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan. The food was fabulous - go with an empty stomach!!!
