An hour south of Bishkek on the road towards Chunkurchak, Supara is a large open-air restaurant complex built as a stylised Kyrgyz village. Diners sit in private yurts or in wooden tapchans (raised platforms) scattered across a hillside with views over the gorge. The food is straightforwardly traditional — lagman, manty, beshbarmak (boiled meat with hand-rolled noodles), kazy (horse sausage) — served by waiters in traditional dress.
It is touristy in the most agreeable Soviet-style way, and remains a favourite for Kyrgyz family celebrations as well as visiting tour groups. Easy to arrange via taxi from Bishkek; allow a couple of hours.
