The swanky French grocer has arrived in Almaty with a chic red-and-black Hediard ‘Corner’ presenting a selection of fancy deli goods, French wines and fine confectionary to the upper echelons of local society. Surely the place to come for the most luxurious of hostess gifts (note that you won’t see much change from 10,000 KZT), or, if money is no object, a decadent picnic lunch for an excursion. Pick up foie gras, rillettes or confit with wine and other accompaniments to match and finish with truffles or candied fruits – a truly hedonistic gourmet experience if ever there was one.
