It's a very decent cafe, more like a canteen. Self-service on order. I took kharcho, goulash, and compote. Large portions and much cheaper and tastier than in the canteens of Lazarevsky, Sochi, Adler. The price surprised me. Recommend.

We brought food here when we were on a field trip. The advantages of the establishment: they serve food quickly, but it seems like it's because they were warned that there would be a large group. There are at least two outlets to recharge your phone. That's where the advantages end))) Cons: They described how delicious their pilaf with meat is, but in fact it's rice with chicken)). Some of the meat is dark, as if it were cherished, in fact it is chicken. The worst part is the juice - I took tangerine, there is some kind of pulp, but I didn't feel the tangerine even remotely, it looks more like jelly than juice. The young man ordered juice from feijoa - the same story Cheese boat - the cheese is all rolled up, I hope it won't be bad after it, the dough itself is normal, we hope for the best Before we had time to eat, the next group arrived, and I was almost dislodged from the chair where I was sitting by the next hungry ones. The queue for the bathroom is like going to a concert, even though they don't show anything fancy there.

We were brought here after the tour. I don't know if the cafe or the tour organizer was to blame, but the cafe had an influx of patrons, the number of whom the cafe was not designed for. A cafe is a big name, in fact it is a dining room, but the food is at a decent level for a dining room. The mashed potatoes are delicious, the cutlets are made from fresh meat, the cheese is real, Abkhazian, in general, there are no complaints about the food.

We came for lunch with a tour group. The choice of dishes is small, the prices are higher than on the coast of Pitsunda. On the plus side, the food is hot and served very quickly, hence the hope that everything is freshly prepared, and the risks of poisoning are minimized. Next, about the cons - pilaf with meat, just rice, khachapuri with cheese slices, sour borscht, salad with cabbage = salad with carrots. There is ONLY ONE toilet! To the constantly incessant tour groups. No soap, no paper. Unsanitary conditions.

A wonderful cafe! We stopped by for a guided tour - the food is the freshest, khachapur is just hot, with a crispy crust, the cheese stretches, the compote is freshly prepared, very tasty - there are enough fruits in it! The service is fast. Many thanks to all the cafe staff! We recommend it to everyone.

We stopped by for coffee in the morning. The coffee is delicious, but the service is completely lacking. This is the only cafe where visitors don't even pay attention. Take the menu yourself, take the napkins yourself, go get the coffee. 🥲🤢

If you have been brought here on a guided tour, run to a nearby store and buy a snack there. I don 't recommend it , the prices are terrible , it's dirty , the tables are shaky, the quality of the dishes is poor . It 's just scary to go to the bathroom .

We were on an excursion, and we brought lunch to this CAFE-CANTEEN. We ordered a cutlet with pasta, khachapuri, noodle soup, pasta and tea. They didn't eat anything. Dear staff and supervisor, it is a SHAME to feed such "food". The toilet is a room of fear, just like everywhere else in Abkhazia.

Just a full bottom, but on the establishment. For some reason it appears on the maps as a "cafe", although it does not even reach the level of a canteen. The prices are above average, the food is disgusting. They managed to ruin even an ordinary borscht. 2 queues - one to order, the other to receive. The third queue to the toilet is outside, 20 people... And I suspect that I was very lucky that I didn't stand in it...

The portions are small, the prices are cosmic. They also miscalculated, did not finish the dishes. The queue is huge. The food is generally tasteless. Tourists are brought by buses to this cafe and the crowd is constant. I do not recommend this cafe 👎🤮

We had lunch in this cafe, it was very crowded but delicious, we also ordered a second portion of kebabs on the way, as they were probably the most delicious throughout Abkhazia. The goulash just melts in your mouth. When we left, we thanked the staff for a delicious lunch.After a vacation in Abkhazia, it was remembered that they cook very tasty here and are ready to visit this place again.

I do not recommend this place. We were brought here with a tour of New Athos. And the impression of the institution was not very good at once. Firstly, there are not enough places to sit down to eat, you need to occupy and stand in line with a huge order. Paying only in cash is not convenient. Moreover, they could not give the change for a long time. We ordered okroshka, Abkhazian khachapuri and lemonade. Okroshka costs 300 rubles - but in terms of quality it is really expensive for her. Khachapuri is generally a complete tin, at a price of 400 rubles, and there is simply no cheese in it. It's just some kind of incomprehensible flatbread. I'll attach a photo. I also ordered for a price lower than khachapuri in good places, where they really brought delicious khachapuri. They have a separate toilet in the back, dirty.I do not recommend this institution.

The cafe that the guide suggested to us was not bad. I was very disappointed. There are no fries. The kebab is like a rubber, overcooked. No one from the family ate chicken kebab at all. And the portion of mashed potatoes is so small that you can't feed the baby. It's just a shame. This is the first time I've seen this. Also, when you are sitting at a table, a cat may jump on you, demanding food. He doesn't just sit next to me and look at me with his kitty eyes, but he can bite me. In general, I do not recommend it. Such places are kept purely due to the agreement between the cafe and the guides.

The establishment is on a stake, below the baseboard. We stopped by with an excursion, it is clear that everything is fed and agreed. But you can't stoop to that. This applies both to companies offering excursions and to the institution. The composition of the order could change on the "eyes". And not just me. Instead of the ordered buckwheat with goulash, get potatoes. Only after insistently asking, the side dish was replaced. It is worth mentioning about the portion separately, it is even 100g, it does not pull, and I had to look for meat in goulash in a super meager plate. The price of water from the refrigerator also changed, first one is voiced on the calculation of the other. The highlight on the cake is of course the toilet. This one isn't exactly anti-sanitation, it's a kick-ass. The station toilets are much better than this one. Definitely avoid this institution.

I was "lucky" to have lunch at this eatery on 07/15/2023. as part of an excursion to New Athos. It was stated by the guide as a wonderful place, in fact, just as always, contractual relations.... Everyone was in a hurry, standing in line, choosing what to eat, at the same time looking for where to sit down, because the institution is not adapted for accepting large groups, and there were 20 of us. Since it was lunchtime and the tour lasted 10 hours, I had to choose what to eat. I chose okroshka, achma and feijoa juice. I searched for okroshka ingredients in kefir for a long time, but I didn't find any cheese in the achma except for the stuck dough....and the feijoa compote turned out to be tinted green goo (see photo)After lunch, having rolled up my trousers to my knees, I visited the local toilet (see photo) belonging to the institution and set off with a feeling of annoyance and disappointment. It is definitely not recommended to visit! The two tourists we talked to the next day had all the signs of poisoning...

A huge queue. At the entrance, they shove the menu And chase group after group. The hall is small .I took a cabbage salad as a silo for rabbits. It is not filled with anything. The rubber kebab is filled with so many spices that it involuntarily suggests the freshness of the meat. Tasteless, expensive and unsafe. Many of our group were completely uncomfortable the next day. I do not recommend it. It was July 15, 2023.

A very good cafe! Inside there is air conditioning, TV, pleasant atmosphere. And there is even soap!)) Delicious vegetarian borscht (which is very surprising) and khachapuri. You can have a delicious breakfast in the morning. At lunchtime and after lunch, crowds of people from excursions, it is better not to go. They work until late at night. They do not charge % for the service.

It couldn't be worse! Cafe in the style of "eat che dali". We were taken on a guided tour, there was no choice. Quality - pigs are better fed, while prices are sky-high, the order is not reported, rudeness, attempts to cheat, there is no change despite the fact that payment is only in cash. In short, avoid it and the smaller the better.

Everything is terrible, absolutely everything from the service to the food. There is not even cheese in khachapuri, just a "cheese product" mixed into the dough. Hominy is also terrible, frozen and tasteless like semolina in the school cafeteria. Everything is terrible and, as usually happens, they were brought only because of the agreement of the guide and the administrator of the caef, since there are about 50 people

IT'S JUST A CREEPY PLACE!!!!! We stopped by with an excursion without the right to choose where to eat! The food is not only tasteless, but simply disgusting!!! They drove both the herd and fed it. They came to pick up the food, and the cook just splashed the mashed potatoes and a spoonful of goulash into a small plate, like a saucer, everything flows, falls out. When asked why the pigs were put down, she received a clucking and a displeased face in response. We ordered mashed potatoes (simply diluted with tap water, with terrible lumps), goulash on water, okroshka (mixed with water and mayonnaise), 2 portions of pilaf (rice was boiled to a state of one common gruel) and 3 compotes. For all this pleasure, we were charged 2,000 rubles. Everyone from our group was spitting on their way out, and after standing at the entrance for literally 5 minutes, it turned out that everyone who tried anything at this wonderful place was just in shock! The service is zero, it's impossible to eat!! NEVER TRY TO EAT AT THIS EATERY, not under any pretext, if you don't want to spoil your mood and stomach!!!!

It's a disgusting place. We came with an excursion and our guide highly recommended this place. As a result: we stood in a huge queue and since our time was limited, we had to eat as quickly as possible.. Pilaf with chicken is just some kind of rice porridge, the salad "Vinaigrette" does not even look like a normal salad. Terribly rude people work there. We were asked not to smoke near the place where our children eat - we were just sent to three letters) I'm not talking about the toilet at all.. It smells like it's never been cleaned I don't advise anyone to go to this place, only if you want to run into evil people and pay a lot of money for terrible food) The impressions were very, very bad!!!

The food is delicious. I did not like that instead of one glass of wine they gave two, respectively, and money for two, and it is called homemade, although all the wine that I tried before in Abkhazia was really very tasty, homemade, but here it was as if they diluted it with alcohol

If you want to try the most terrible barbecue in the world - welcome 😁 for the first time in my life I ate sausage-flavored meat, excessively overcooked, dry and it is unclear from whom. And it's definitely warmed up, not straight from the campfire. Lyulya is also questionable. The most tolerable thing was the Abkhazian khachapur, fresh and cheesy, the only thing they know how to cook there. But it's better not to come in here)

Our first and only time was unsuccessful. We were given a ride for lunch during the tour. Two more buses followed us, and as a result, there was a terrible pandemonium, people occupied the already occupied tables, waiting for us to leave. We took a cake and tangerine juice. The juice is ordinary, the cake turned out to be not tasty at all, as if it was stale - dry and hard.

We stopped by with an excursion at lunchtime, I probably haven't seen a worse kitchen. Chicken pilaf is a rice porridge with half a boiled chicken wing, pilaf with meat is also practically meat-free, pea soup is similar to vegetarian. Coffee on the sand is so-so.. But the bread is quite edible.

It sucks. There are not even basic things: toilet paper, curtains, the TV does not work, the toilet door does not close. For some reason, the front door has glass - you sleep, a light bulb shines in your eye. The kitchen is like a homeless shelter: there is rotten food in the refrigerator, the dishes are all dirty, the evolution of microbes has begun in the dish sponges. Be, in short

This is not a cafe. This is a canteen, and even of the worst quality. The whole business is based on catching up with tourists from excursions for a kickback to a travel agency, raising prices and saving on products and staff. Hominy is tasteless from the word at all. Borscht is not salty at all, and salt shakers on tables with clogged holes - it's not so easy to salt it yourself!
