The Compote canteen is located in Petropavlovsk near the railway station, which is very convenient for passengers. The prices are quite reasonable. The range of dishes is large. The only drawback is the lack of staff. Because the cashier first serves customers, 5 people, then runs to the cashier and counts them, the rest are waiting. Then he runs to the distribution again. Then back to the cashier. If we had added staff, everything would have been fine.
Yum yum yum delicious, delicious). Delicious, hearty food. Large portions, delicious as at home, and the prices are relatively inexpensive. The staff is friendly. Free Wi-Fi, which is not a little important for visitors, since the dining room is located opposite the railway and Car station, all visitors visit this institution first of all. And we are no exception, first of all, when we arrive in Petropavlovsk, we eat in the exchanger and in Compote.
It is located next to the train station, payments in tenge. It is very tasty and not expensive at all. The atmosphere is pleasant, clean, well maintained, the toilets are in good condition.
According to the exchange rate for December 2023 (1 rub = 5 tenge), the prices are approximately as follows:
Borscht with beef and sour cream - 80p
French-style meat - 160p
Pilaf - 125p
Pasta in the navy - 120p
Dumplings - 110p
In the kitchen, everything I've tried is delicious.
The pastries were not the freshest, the sausage in the dough was tough. It was necessary to find out whether it was today's or not before buying.
But in general, everything is very healthy and budget-friendly, the portions are large. Especially in comparison with what is usually given near train stations in Russia.
I highly recommend the place to anyone who stops for a transfer, and just who happens to be in Petropavlovsk.
