La Barca Fish & Wine

Almaty


Local professionals swear by the fish and seafood here – the grilled seabass, the oysters! – but the rest of the menu is also refreshingly different from most other restaurants in the city and includes such gourmet delights as quinoa salad and baked bone marrow. If you order the steak, make sure you have a fat bank account.
