My opinion is particular : i'm french baker and pastry chef ans also cooking chef. I go to Saratov since 13 years and the global level in this city increased except the gastronomy art !!!Péché Mignon is not an exception. The name is french, the deco concept come from a cheaper version of the well known french company Ladurée but it's all. For the cakes, you will find a typical russian way to make pastry.....It missed good ingredients and know-how...Only for the people who never travelled in countries where we can find real pastry traditions....

I mostly chose to visit this place, because of the familiar name, Central Perk. Overall it was a very nice experience, but with some tweeking it could be better. They offer a pretty large menu. It is nice to have such a wide selection, but it does make me wonder how good or fresh each dish might be. I decided to go simple and ordered a steak, and my girlfriend preferred to go straight for dessert. I thought my steak was pretty good, I asked for medium, but it seemed more like medium-rare (and possibly more on the rare side). Still, it was pretty good. My girlfriend ordered the napoleon cake and said it was one of the best she has had in Saratov. After eating, I ordered an americano, and my girlfriend ordered tea. They both were done well.The biggest complain I have was the staff was too involved. Anytime my girlfriend's tea got a little low they were immediately at our table and refilling her glass. Which is a very nice gesture, but it seemed like we were being constantly interrupted so that they could do it. Even after my girlfriend said that she would prefer to pour it herself, they seemed to just come out of nowhere to jump in and do it. It's just not our style.Overall, it's a nice option ,with decent food, and a nice atmosphere at a reasonable price.
