Everything here corresponds with the high level of the hotel: good service, excellent food, good wine, pleasant atmosphere.
I have been there at least four times and will certainly come again.
There is only one minus - waiters are not very good in english, which makes it quite difficult sometimes to get alone with foreigners. Though I bet this problem is temporary and quite possible to fix.
Good lobby-bar! I like design and service, though I liked it more with the lounge or chill-out music played. Now they have a DJ playing and it got too noisy in the bar. Conversation became not possible there, you have to shout.

When visiting Donetsk for the first time, I had a dinner with business partners there. Food was pretty good: duck trotters were particularly good, beef carpaccio and pasta with lamb didn't disappoint either. Service was good, even that somewhat slow. Design-wise maybe not the best example ever but nice, plain, simple.

Just stopped by this pub for lunch. Food quality was mediocre, not truly fresh or house made, and service was perfunctory at best. Fine place to stop for a quick beer. Have been on two different occasions to the Golden Lion Pub, which is a short walk down Artema street, across from Lenin Square, and found it superior in all ways. Truly fresh, house made food, excellent service and a wide variety of beers on draft.

Neither the food nor the interiour is special. I dont know how this food market is in ranking so high in Tripadvisor.
The food and the place looks like typical mensa or cafeteria of companies or universities. Even at the beginning you have to change money to plastic card. You have the choice to pick up by yourselve (approx. 20 to 30 different dishes) and pay than at the cash counter. The food size is okay but not real big. The choice is okay, but also the taste is only okay. Nothing special, nothing with finess...
Only the price is very interesting, per person more or less 5 to 10 Euros, including beverages.

I like this restaurant because good food , good service, very nice tables, tablecloth, a good selection of food, and excellent desserts. Most important very quiet even when full, so you can discuss business without screaming. A definite plus for me.

Cuisine de l'est traditionnelle de bonne qualité. La diversité des plats est très sympa, cela permet de goûter aux traditions. Le service est très correct et courtois. Nous avons dîné en terrasse quasiment sur le lac sous la tonnelle, le tarif est correct pour les touristes occidentaux mais élevé pour les gens sur place bien que le restaurant ne soit pas en hyper centre ville. Je recommande pour le cadre le service et la nourriture.

Не смотря на сложное положение в городе, данное заведение продолжает радовать своим обслуживанием. Да, за последние 2 года заметно оскудел ассортимент предлагаемых блюд, но СанСити старается держать марку.

Get a reservation - even for lunch. No English menu, but wait staff is very helpful. The salmon is the best ever. All the dishes in this Egyptian themed, cozy place are tasty and fresh. We will return - again and again.
