Intelligent bar in the heart of Siberia
Reviewed By Cynthia A
It's actually very difficult to start because I'm feeling so good after a few beers and fries. You'll see it is a good place once you see it. Because there are the friendliest people, about a thousand drinks to choose from, decent food and even a fake fireplace running 24/7.. books painted on a wall.. what else do you want??

If you enjoy good food and are prepared to spend RUR 2â500 per person, this restaurant â although you may not yet know it â is the reason you came to Irkutsk, or possibly even Russia.This place is utterly harmonious, outwardly formal, but completely unpretentious. The staff are very young, efficient and friendly.I donât know who does the cooking, but whoever it is is a genius. The food is superb. It was the пелÑмени Ñ Ð½ÐµÐ»Ñмой и неÑкой that got me hooked, but I would have liked to have been in Irkutsk longer to go all through the menu, because the lamb chops, the sturgeon steak and the beef rack were excellent, not to mention the chocolate desserts.Thanks for your feedback! Our cook tries to make absolutely all the guests satisfied. We will be glad to see you again in our restaurant.

This urban restaurant is situated not far away from the city center. Unfortunately there's no sign or something at the front which might indicate that there's a restaurant or so. You'll only find a sign in Russian коÑе, which means café. From the outside the building looks somehow shabby but you'll be surprised by the interior which reminded us about all the hip vegan places in Berlin.We went to this place three times. It's even a good opportunity for non vegans as they offer a big variety of different hot and cold dishes, smoothies, teas and drinks.We tried nearly all dishes. I totally recommend to leave enough space in your stomach for a desert. The staff is really friendly.There s also an English menu available.Thank you

Easily the best place I ate at during my 4 weeks touring Russia. The staff speak English, are friendly (rare in Russia!), the cafe is clean, pretty, with good facilities and flawless wifi. The food comes very quickly (I'd barely had a chance to sit down!), was unbelievably tasty and such good value!I cannot fault this place! Please visit, you won't regret it!

We were travelling the length of the Trans Siberian Express so the issue of culinary delights was clearly not high on our agenda but on the basis of the reviews in TripAdvisor we plumped to have one of our two dinners in Irkutsk here. So, to cut the suspense, the greeting when we entered was simply delightful, the ambience of the restaurant whilst quiet was also peaceful, and our table overlooked the busy street so we had much to look at. And then, the food! Wow, who would have seen that coming?! Beautifully presented, wonderfully balanced, and, most importantly for two tired old travellers, delicious!! All just perfect, and our waitress, who spoke perfect English due to time spent in the USA, treated us with such charm, and perfect professionalism. So, if you are ever in Irkutsk, then this is the place to eat!!
