It is also the best restaurant in old and new Gagra. Live music in the evening, generally excellent musical accompaniment, an island of Europe and civility, there are very expensive dishes, and there are quite affordable and earthly ones. The quality is high. Chateaubriand was amazing. A drunken pear (in wine) is gorgeous. The golden ear is divine. But a minus star for the poor work of the waiters. They were much slower than in the neighboring Teahouse. They are not quick-witted or efficient. And I absolutely did not like the tartar made of avocado, tomatoes and scallops. Okay, it was very little for a huge plate, so also the price is like Chateaubriand's. 1300 is almost and quite, well, quite tasteless. I was very disappointed and hungry. The only thing that calmed me down was a drunken pear and a Cloud shot)
We decided not to visit a teahouse, but an Italian restaurant. A good interior for Abkhazia, clean, there are not many people, as prices are high compared to local cafes. But in general, as in Sochi, it is not more expensive. Drinks are not expensive, our bill was at about 4700, I won't say for sure, since cash payment (cards are not accepted). We ordered lemonade, classic, moderately sour and sweet, everything is balanced. Filet mignon with a vegetable side dish, the meat is soft, it sulks well, salt and pepper are enough, the vegetables are delicious, diced with Demi glasse sauce. The meat is good. Caesar with chicken, with a good sauce (not mayonnaise with garlic) the chicken is juicy and tender, the only question is about balsamic cream as an ornament. The noodles are straight homemade, the broth is rich, rich in taste, the noodles look homemade, the children do not eat dill, but he was there, I put the noodles perfectly, I had to feed the children). Asparagus, well, the asparagus in the photo will do, but it is clearly frozen, overcooked and too small. The potato gratin was quite a success, the potatoes are not crispy, completely ready, sliced thinly, a lot of cheese, salt and spices are enough. The camembert with croutons is very tasty, the cheese is tender, the noble mold on the crust is moderately felt, the texture is excellent inside, the cheese is gorgeous. In general, the place is worth a visit, not a delight, but good. A dark-skinned kid in a chef's jacket walks in the hall. I think he's more for entertainment than the boss.
A wonderful restaurant. Probably the best in Gagra. Chef Andre cooks at the highest level. The dishes are very tasty, the serving is beautiful and fast. Also, the chef himself is often in the hall and controls the serving of dishes. We had dinner at this restaurant 2 times. Dinner is organized in a buffet style. Each dish is balanced with the rest. Starting from salads and ending with desserts. Everything is very tasty and constantly replenished. In the evening, there is always live music, and at a pleasant volume, and not like in cheap cafes - at full power of all speakers. Thanks to the restaurant for such a pleasant experience.
Guests of the hotel of the same name, which is located there in a single complex, also eat in the restaurant. In the morning and evening during the season, there may be a lot of people in the restaurant because of this. It is necessary to take this into account if you want to sit there.
