Restaurants
Tashkent restaurants not tied to one cuisine — from the meat-focused GO'SHT to a bistro, dining hall and terrace under one roof at Broccoli Park. The occasion decides: dinner for two, colleagues or children each ask for a different room and kitchen. Most sit close to the central streets.
How to choose. Start with the occasion. An outing with children needs a hall with a supervised play zone: at GO'SHT on Mirabad street nannies look after the kids and the children's menu repeats the adult one in smaller portions; at Jungle Family Club in Yunusabad district the playground stands right in the middle of the hall and kids' shows run. Dinner for two calls for a kitchen with character — Italian cooking to traditional recipes, or a meat-focused menu — and ask whether live music plays in the evening if conversation matters more than the soundtrack. For a meeting with colleagues look at the room format: Broccoli Park on Shakhrisabz street keeps three formats at once — a bistro for a quick lunch, a restaurant hall for a long conversation and a summer terrace for the warm season; a restaurant with a bar suits a late evening better than a lunch. Then money and the way there. The bill depends on the format and the time of day: a bistro or a lunch menu costs less than the evening hall, and nannies with a play zone are built into a family restaurant's prices — look for the figures in the venue's menu on Instagram, where tables are booked too. Take the address and map from the restaurant's card. The central streets are easy to reach by taxi or metro, and if the restaurant on your chosen street is full, its neighbour is usually a few minutes' walk away.
