We were travelling the length of the Trans Siberian Express so the issue of culinary delights was clearly not high on our agenda but on the basis of the reviews in TripAdvisor we plumped to have one of our two dinners in Irkutsk here. So, to cut the suspense, the greeting when we entered was simply delightful, the ambience of the restaurant whilst quiet was also peaceful, and our table overlooked the busy street so we had much to look at. And then, the food! Wow, who would have seen that coming?! Beautifully presented, wonderfully balanced, and, most importantly for two tired old travellers, delicious!! All just perfect, and our waitress, who spoke perfect English due to time spent in the USA, treated us with such charm, and perfect professionalism. So, if you are ever in Irkutsk, then this is the place to eat!!

Prego Italian Restaurant is for more formal dining. We went there for a special dinner before leaving Irkutsk. Service is good. Prices are reasonable by US standards. The pastas are homemade and they bring you a display for you to choose which you want. Servings are generous. Nice ambiance.

I visited here twice on my trip and both times I was served by Ekaterina. She spoke quite good English, was always smiling and her service was good.The food was nice and well presented. Chocolate Milkshake was good too and was the Apple Strudel. Also had very good wifi should you need. Paid 580 RUB for a Salmon Pasta meal and a milkshake.

This place was a real find amongst a lot of pretty mediocre looking places. We had lunch there and would have been happy to have dinner as well. It is in the area where the wooden houses are being recreated near the new shopping mall. The menu choice was extensive, food interesting and delicious, service great and English-speaking, and the ambience nice.
