Jardin looks out on City Park, a green and peaceful scene. That was the best thing about this establishment.Although there were few diners, service was very slow. When it came, it was pretentious.I was an English speaker dining with Russian-speaking friends. I was provided with an English menu. As we all discussed our meal options, it became apparent that there was major variation between the English and Russian menus. When I ordered, I was told that the dish I had selected was not available. I asked why and was told I had an old menu.When we did eventually get our meals, we had ravioli with slow cooked duck which was tough and stringy, over-cooked salmon fillet and a tiny serve of rather tough foie gras. There is an extensive wine list featuring wines from all over Europe and several non-European countries. Jardin deserves some credit for having not just a New Zealand sauvignon blanc, but a very good one. Wine prices were expensive however.The mediocre food and poor service was made even less palatable by Jardin's prices. The place is expensive. Therre are several much better restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

The position , decor and ambiance was out of the world. The waiter who was assigned to us was very attentive and offered immaculate unobtrusive service. I was dazzled by the cake selection. Rather than choose of the menu I went up to their display and stood like a 7 year old in a candy store. The waiter soon joined me and offered good suggestions and helped me select 2. I considered a 3rd from the mouth watering array but seeing the size decided to restrict myself to 2. I enjoyed every morsel with a freshly brewed espresso, with a fancy picture on the foam. My wife decided on delicious cheese platter, roasted walnuts and crystalized honey and a basket of fresh warm black bread with some super chilled Vodka and coke. We loved both our respective dishes and happily sampled from each other. It was a real treat, and the surroundings certainly enhanced the experience.Thank you for your feedback! come to us again!

3 out of my 4 dishes were simply disgusting, one was even dangerous as I hurt my tooth on a cherry pit that wasn't supposed to be in my desert. It also took nearly 2.5hrs just for a solo dinner - with the waitress often disappearing for 30 mins or more at a time. The setting is nice, but honestly does not make up for the awful food, especially at such a high price.

We visited this restaurant twice. For the first time we stopped for something easy. The food was reasonable and not beyond. The dessert is not good.We decided to give them another chance. We went there after two days. We sat at the table for over half an hour and no waiter came over to us. In the end we decided to abandon the place.Do not recommend at all.Hello!

Odessa is not known for warm service in restaurants and while getting quality food is not a problem like in this restaurant, it also stands out with really great service. Pasta was amazing, so was pizza (we took another one for sharing afterwards). And for 6 people dine&wine we paid approx 1250 UAH. Which is cheap for such qualityDear elbalive, Thank you for the review. Saremo felici che le è piaciuto da noi! Looking forward to welcoming you back in Pasta&Pizza!

This elegant and formidable reastaurant is one of legends. The chef is known for patenting his own duck dish, making it his specialty.The food her is just superb, no matter what you choose to eat. For appetizers we got bun bread with different taste (Paprika, bacon, cheese and tomato). for Main dish I had a pork chop that was perectly roasted, it melted in my mouth. For dessert, green honey cake with autentic freah honey. This cake will leave you a signature, meaning you will do green in the toilet for a week, and makes for an interesting memoriare. Dinner for 2, 4 dishes each and expensive wine, total cost of 1400 uah.

Ukraine is an impressive country still largely undiscovered by western tourists. Magnificent churches and monasteries, important historic landmarks, rundown palaces, grim reminders of wars and revolutions: Ukraine has it all. But a destination for foodies it is not. During my one week holiday I had only a couple of really good culinary experiences. One of them happened to be in the Frederic Koklen hotel in Odesa where I stayed the night. Sophie Cafe is a stylish restaurant with a lovely all-glass enclosure that serves very traditional food: a simple but delicious plate of pike caviar, quail flambéed at the table and served with grapes and mashed potatoes (how very eighties - but quite tasteful nonetheless), the chefâs own take on Kiev cake. Good wines by the glass to accompany the meal. And all this at a very reasonable price indeed. In the barren culinary land Ukraine in my experience is, Sophie Cafe definitely deserves an honourable mention.
