Excellent observation deck and restaurant. The place is perfect for remote work and meetings with friends or partners. The young friendly and sociable staff, who are happy to learn Russian in their free time :)
According to the prices, everyone has their own "normal" but for a place in the city center it is not even very expensive.
The tower is really there. She really is a new model. We had coffee once in her cafe downstairs on the street, and the second time we still went upstairs. There were two reasons for this. About the second one a little later.
There is not a wide staircase leading to the top, which also gradually narrows at the end. We haven't tried the kitchen, but Americano coffee is such that some espresso is weaker. The staff works without delay, but also does not stand over the soul. After eating, you do not need to ask for a bill, just pay at the checkout at the exit. The Union Pay card from the Russian Agricultural Bank worked.
But if you look at it, there is no view from the tower site in the evening. You can see this in the added photos.
Now about the second reason.
I just needed a toilet, there was one on the square in front of the tower, but it was paid. And there are already two of them in the cafe and they are free. Another picture shows not the toilet, but that the clock is not working.
In general, I want to say that the tower is not so much a good cafe as it is a starting point for tourists. All the logistics are tied to it.
The city center. A beautiful place for photos. There is also a beautiful mosque nearby. Entertainment events are often held on the square. One evening we went to a boxing tournament. Everything is organized well, there is a police force to protect law and order (from drunk tourists)
