The cafe is not designed for the number of people who come to admire the beautiful lake! From this, the expectation of the order may exceed your expectations!
It's expensive, the food isn't fancy and it's not worth it.the wine is bland, like alcohol with grape juice.if the guide has brought you, then don't be fooled.there are more people on the left bank, which means it's cheaper and tastier

The food is spicy , the chicken kebab was not really made of chicken . The view is amazing
Most likely, according to the description, this is the cafe "Grotto" (at least this name is indicated on the menu).
We arrived on the island.A pizza with a guide who was begged to recommend us a good cafe. He assured me that this cafe is good, they always have lunch there. We believed in vain.
We ordered a complex Abkhazian lunch (hominy with cheese, beans, pickles, smoked meat and wine) and khachapuri - in the amount of 900 rubles.
Everything was just disgusting: the cheese is very hard, the meat is tough, the wine is like sweet compote, khachapuri is just creepy.
I don't recommend eating there to anyone!
Advice for travelers: make sandwiches at home, take drinks with you in a thermos and you will be happy with a view of the beautiful lake.
The Grotto Cafe
took tea and a khachapuri boat. I haven't eaten worse yet. There is no service at all. After buying food, you need to go to the buildings opposite and get food yourself. Such an institution at the Ritz is just a nightmare!
We were at Lake Ritsa on 06/16/2021, at the entrance a young man waved at us and we drove down. It turned out to be a parking lot, only for cafe visitors. I had to visit this terrible institution, as it turned out later... They were poisoned. The food is disgusting, everything is heated, fed and cooked without a soul. I don't recommend the very first cafe when going down to the lake to anyone. I recommend the owner of the establishment to listen to the reviews about his cafe. My negative review is not the first one.
I do not recommend it, the portions are ridiculously small, the prices are not cheap, even for a child it is difficult to eat enough. Plus, I got a long hair in the plate, but they took it away. I won't say that it was delicious either.
The cafe is on the descent on the right.
We ordered lamb kebab, lobio, pilaf. The pilaf is dry, warmed up many times, obviously not the first freshness. Instead of lobio, mashed potatoes with bean flavor were brought. The barbecue waited for 40 minutes. The worst barbecue I've ever eaten. I couldn't chew half of it. I do not recommend this place.
A terrible place, they lure you with free parking, if you eat in this cafe, they took a barbecue, not tasty, from the word at all, with what chicken, what pork, I do not recommend, categorically
The staff of this cafe are lured to free parking for guests of the ritz, and as a result, when they have already gone down, they demand either 500 rubles for parking or a receipt from the cafe. It turns out to be some kind of fraud.
It's a beautiful place. I advise you to try KHINKALI in the cafe 👍🔥

Disgusting food, impossible to eat. They lure you to the parking lot, they say it's free, you drive up to a cafe, they say you need to eat at a cafe for 1,000rubles and then it's free, otherwise 500rubles parking.
The cafe is shitty if there are local drivers, the waiters will move your barbecue and hominy away. They will be served in 5 minutes with wine that is not vinegar. And you, as a guest, will sit for an hour with five children without receiving an order. As a result, they spat without quarreling.
It's a terrible place.
They don't know how to cook at all. The portions are small, the cost is high, the food is not tasty. The waiters pass by and do not respond to comments.
What is the 10% fee for?
I do not recommend it!
It's bad!!!! The process of ordering dishes was very surprising....you go to the bar, order food there, the cashier writes on the leaves, for example, 2 shish kebabs (two kebabs), 2 shish kebabs (2 salads), etc....with these pieces of paper you go to other windows to issue kitchen dishes, shish kebab separately, drinks separately....You bring it to your table.... And with all this, THE FOOD IS NOT DELICIOUS.....
The cafe at the descent is empty. Such disgusting food, pilaf is dry as sand in the desert, 2 pieces of meat, tea bagged 70p glass. Coffee 150 r glass. I thought the food would be delicious Abkhazian, I was very disappointed.
Pork kebab is not delicious, the wine is not natural, but diluted alcohol with a dye. Expensive! Well, at least they didn't get poisoned, it's already good
Poisoning of the whole family! Disgusting cafe with stale food!
At the entrance to the Ritz, a local stops, calls for supposedly free parking, and then they tell you that you leave only with a pass, which is given along with the bill at the cafe. And the pass turned out to be just a piece of paper and with someone's signature in a squiggle.
And so for more than 2000 rubles you get not only a terrible lunch, but also a two-day poisoning with a fever after!
The food is delicious, but the service is terrible. There is no card payment, you stand in line for meat / fish for at least 15-20 minutes, French fries are given with a delay of 15-20 minutes, too, in total, 40 minutes remain due to endless queues and hassle of 1.5 hours allowed to contemplate the lake. I advise you not to run to this restaurant if the guide brought you there with the whole herd, but go to another cafe where there will be fewer people and faster service.
