Champagne Restaurant & Wine Gallery

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Fine Dining Meets Kazakhstan's Most Extensive Wine Collection

Champagne Restaurant & Wine Gallery, located in the Samal-3 district of Almaty, is one of the few establishments in Central Asia where a serious European and French kitchen sits alongside what the house describes as the most extensive wine collection in Kazakhstan — over 7,000 labels, spanning still wines, growers' Champagne, rare spirits, and everything in between. That breadth of selection earned Champagne a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, a recognition that places it firmly among the world's most wine-committed dining destinations.

A Wine Gallery as Much as a Restaurant

The concept here is deliberately integrated: refined food and wine are treated as equals rather than one serving the other. Every bottle in the cellar is stored under strictly controlled conditions and sourced exclusively through certified official suppliers — authenticity is guaranteed. The team of trained cavistes keeps pace with developments in the wine world and is on hand to guide guests through the list, whether the occasion calls for a Vermentino from Colli di Luni, a grower Champagne, or something rarer still.

Beyond the Table

Champagne operates as a full ecosystem around its restaurant. A Sommelier School runs alongside the dining room for those who want to move from appreciation to expertise. The kitchen is available for private parties and chef's table experiences, and the operation extends to catering, tasting menus with wine pairing, meal kits, and delivery across Almaty. Corporate clients and wholesale partners receive tailored terms, and the team regularly organises tastings and gastronomic dinners — a natural extension of a place that takes the relationship between food and wine seriously.

The Broader Picture

For a city that has historically had limited access to world-class European fine dining, Champagne represents something genuinely substantial: a restaurant and wine gallery that has earned international recognition on its own terms, not as a regional curiosity but as a destination measured against global standards.
