I live in Astana too. Daredhzhani is my favorite restaurant. it's so cozy. I really like cafe Tselenikov near Kensesary and Respublica too. Perfect for winter and fall. Cafe Tselnikov had an AMAZING pumpkin soup this past fall. they are seasonal and update/change dishes to keep things interesting while keeping some main ones year round. Great viceo!

[@rockyjourneys]

I haven't been to that cafe. Thanks for the recommendation

[@singularity6305]

@@rockyjourneys why you only ate whole weekend? Better idea to visit mass riding on ice skates in Alau Ice Palace. And if you buy speed skating ice skates, you can skate with veterans of sport four times a week for free. I mean in Astana you can buy speed skating ice skates, and train to speed skating on long track 400m for free. If you skate with veterans long track in Alau will be empty at this hours. So you can train just like Jutta LEERDAM, or Irene Schouten, but not in Nederland. You can have speed skating sessions in Astana.

Как вы оценили данную достопримечательность позади вас на этой минуте 7:37? Вам понравился их прекрасный вид? Люди назвали это "памятниками коррупции". Это недостроенные надземные пути, деньги (миллиарды) были нагло разворованы, а эта "красота" осталась... Кстати, хочу сказать, что немногие казахи так много едят. Жизнь здесь нелёгкая, а доходов у населения мало. Средний доход человека в месяц - 200-400$. Поэтому, не получается позволять себе много. Наверное, вам, как американке, дико слышать такое. Но вы должны знать, что зарплаты здесь в 10-15 раз ниже, чем в штатах, а цены на жизнь отличаются немного. Такая "мощная" экономика в Казахстане отстроена всего за 30 лет. Хотя, эта страна могла бы жить не хуже, чем ОАЭ и Норвегия, если бы не тотальное воровство, начиная от президента, заканчивая рядовыми чиновниками.

Meiramkhana - as you said, means Restaurant, so usually it is more expensive than a cafe. At least it should be. Askhana is canteen, which is usually cheaper than a cafe.
