It is super strange that it's number one... I think there is some scam behind this review thing. Or Maybe people just go there to drink but still it is strange because even the drinks where not good.We decided to tried our selves and eat and drink in here. Place is more expensive than other in Irkutsk.Cheese plate was good but mushroom soup was a joke. It didn't have any taste and no mushroom. My husband got kotlet and it was bad. No taste and he ended up not eating the dish. I had 4 cheese risotto and well it was just full on cheese. It wasent bad but I think maybe dish should taste also something else than just cheese.My husband got Tom Collins and clearly the waiter didn't know the drink..hmm it's quite popular. It was too strong. And I had a cocktail from the list. It was good ( I guess they can make it from the list, but in a cocktail bars they usually do excellent job outside of the list)Waiter was nice and polite. She just was little bit out. She didn't knew anything about the wines for example.I understand that this is easy place because of English menu. I would still go somewhere else and use translator. Thank you for your feedback.I'm sorry that we were not able to give you full satisfaction that not all food and drinks were at the level of your expectations.I'm glad that you were with us, thank you for appreciating the work of the staff. We are a little consoled by the fact that even a cheese plate and a cocktail from the list turned out to be good, so this is not our complete failure.We will be attentive, we bring again our complications and assure that there is no cheating with the rating of our institution.You can see that the reviews are written by different travelers, from different countries, many people from Irkutsk, who love us.Your remark about prices compared to other places in Irkutsk, I also upset. I would like to know where you were in Irkutsk, where you liked the food and where prices differ in the smaller direction, if we compare institutions of a similar level.I am grateful for your feedback, we will try to be better.Come to us again, give us a second chance!Good travel and good places!

This urban restaurant is situated not far away from the city center. Unfortunately there's no sign or something at the front which might indicate that there's a restaurant or so. You'll only find a sign in Russian коÑе, which means café. From the outside the building looks somehow shabby but you'll be surprised by the interior which reminded us about all the hip vegan places in Berlin.We went to this place three times. It's even a good opportunity for non vegans as they offer a big variety of different hot and cold dishes, smoothies, teas and drinks.We tried nearly all dishes. I totally recommend to leave enough space in your stomach for a desert. The staff is really friendly.There s also an English menu available.Thank you

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.

If you enjoy good food and are prepared to spend RUR 2â500 per person, this restaurant â although you may not yet know it â is the reason you came to Irkutsk, or possibly even Russia.This place is utterly harmonious, outwardly formal, but completely unpretentious. The staff are very young, efficient and friendly.I donât know who does the cooking, but whoever it is is a genius. The food is superb. It was the пелÑмени Ñ Ð½ÐµÐ»Ñмой и неÑкой that got me hooked, but I would have liked to have been in Irkutsk longer to go all through the menu, because the lamb chops, the sturgeon steak and the beef rack were excellent, not to mention the chocolate desserts.Thanks for your feedback! Our cook tries to make absolutely all the guests satisfied. We will be glad to see you again in our restaurant.
