We were in July 2022, in a cafe. Visually, the place is well done - the riverbank, canopies, paths, parking. But the kitchen spoils everything.
Fried potatoes are overcooked.
Khinkali is cold.
Pancakes in meat were specifically asked if they were purchased or homemade. They replied that they were at home. They brought the usual purchased pancakes, partially burned.
Chicken soup and chicken breast chop are delicious.
The prices of a good cafe, the quality of an average dining room. The bill includes 10% for the service.
If possible, go to a cafe near the main observation deck, there is at least something to choose from.
October 1, 2002. We have not eaten so expensive and not tasty yet! The worst hodgepodge that I had a chance to eat in Abkhazia, if you can even call it a hodgepodge. Two pieces of meat type in tomato soup. The pancakes are purchased fried in the cheapest smelly oil and partially overcooked, collapsed. And the prices are like in a decent restaurant. The dishes are dirty, the glasses are just rinsed.
The cafe at the rest house is about nothing. Expensive and not tasty. When buying khachapura, he specified the size - 30 cm. As a result, a 20-centimeter one was served. They put very (!) little filling in khachapur, but such a loaf costs 600 rubles. I do not recommend it, avoid it. There are cafes that are more customer-oriented.
For comparison, in the photo: khachapur from this cafe on top (20cm), khachupur from a roadside bakery on the bottom (30cm for 400 rubles, with fresh and delicious filling).
