It's always nice to clean the portions are bigger the price tag is average the menu is varied the girls are hospitable in the evening there are disco dances , performances , in general it's worth a visit
Very tasty! We were served quickly and with a smile)) It's hard to please my child, but the local kebab and khachapuri went off with a bang))) If the child is happy, the mother is happy!
One of the few establishments in Gagra where you can have a delicious and satisfying meal. The food is fresh, the dishes are delicious, the hostess is good-natured and hospitable
It's a good place, but there are a few "buts"
1. In the evening, there is a strange musician on the ground floor
2. The upper veranda is closed in the morning and afternoon
And so I recommend a place. The food is delicious, the service is good and warns you where to sit.
Addendum dated August 17, 2024.
I don't recommend this place anymore...
the service is disgusting, prices have been raised by 2 times for many positions, and portions have been reduced. The wait is sooooo long. It is better to wear it when it grows up. You won't get the change
A great cafe. We ordered national dishes. We waited for 30 minutes, but it was worth it.
It was very tasty and cooked to order. Not warmed up.
Thanks to the cook! And to the girls for the service.
Well, the sea view is just super!
Very tasty. I really wanted to try the Abkhazian hodgepodge. That's just a fad. I've tried a lot of places. This one was the best! Everyone ordered different dishes. Son, wife, mother. Everyone liked it. Although they are my comrades who are very biased and critical.
Good day to all Gagrins and guests. About "live music." We arrived for the 4th time at one of the hotels in staraya Gagra. In the past years, everything was fine. And so...: it turned out that in the cafe "Rusalka", on the embankment, they got themselves a certain peacock as a singer... It's just trash... Someone can inform the administration, the owners and him that:
- singing and yelling into a microphone are two different things;
- to sing, you need to have at least talent and vocal skills, and preferably study;
- does this screaming mixture of blatnyak and chanson incompetent only scare away visitors not only from the Mermaid, but also from the surrounding cafes?
The rest is almost ruined. Next time, if we find out that he's still yelling here, we'll go somewhere else.
The place is beautiful. Specific. Convenient parking. The staff is lazy. He doesn't want to do anything and doesn't do anything. There is no service, but they do not forget to take 10% for it! The food is so-so. Price tags are like everywhere in Gagra... I was with the kids, they liked the pizza...
Delicious inexpensive food, indoor smoking, convenient location
The place has completely deteriorated in recent years: there are a lot of flies in the hall, and the waitresses with dissatisfied faces do not try to serve well at all, they are mostly very unfriendly and unhurried. The food is not bad, but a lot of the menu is not cooked. Prices have been raised very much, but the service has not improved. The toilet is not working
The food is delicious, but there are a lot of disadvantages. Firstly, flies are flying all over the place, although the windows and doors are closed everywhere, it is unpleasant to eat at the same table with 10 flies. Secondly, the poor work of the waiters and cooks, an order was made for 3 people, soup was brought to one after 15 minutes, but they did not bring pita bread or even cutlery, there were only 2 napkins at the table, then they also brought the dish only to the second person (after 30 minutes), and the last person waited a little over an hour for khinkali. As a result, one eats, others look and choke on saliva, so they also charge 10% for the service. Although the food is delicious, but the prices and all this attitude repels from this institution. Maybe we were unlucky, there's something wrong in the kitchen today, but there are 5 tables in the whole place
Maybe you should be more customer-oriented? The waitress who met us was not happy with our presence as much as possible and showed it with all her appearance, but under the cameras she miraculously became very nice, and then showed all the Hatred for customers again ... You should reconsider your attitude towards employees and take a more careful approach to choosing a member of your team.
I also ask you to note the brilliant work of your DJ , he lifted the mood to the maximum , tried to choose the perfect music for the evening , danced , sang and left exhausted , this is the merit of your DJ and that 's all !!!
The composition has changed, apparently the cook too. We always went to this cafe, but now it's just trash! It is not tasty at all, there is little meat in khinkali, it is very spicy, the meat in hashlam is only cartilage. Gone bad! I do not recommend it! Prices have gone up!
The cuisine is delicious, however, as it is throughout Abkhazia. Special thanks to the MUSICIANS!!!
Katya and Stas-well done, Super!!! Performances and repertoire at the highest level! We went to the cafe, almost because of them!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
A wonderful cafe where the food is always delicious! Kharcho soup is the best on the whole coast, the barbecue was also very tasty and fresh, I didn't have time to take a picture of it - my husband consumed everything. It's not the first year we've been here - that year both the service and the food were just as great, the trout with vegetables is wonderful! Yes, Julienne is true with canned mushrooms, but you might think you always have fresh champignons and the like in your arsenal at home, everything is really delicious and khachapur and pickles, choose national dishes! The waitress girls are polite and good, they will always advise you what to take!
I used to come to this cafe all the time on vacation. The sea view is amazing! There is a closed igloo on the veranda. The waitress seemed nice and friendly to me. I ordered salmon in cream in a pot, salad with mussels and pita bread almost constantly. It's very very tasty!!! Beer here is 150 rubles. When I'm back in Gagra, I'll definitely come by))
It's a great place! I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat delicious food for adequate money!!! Baked pans (with different types of meat) are a separate kind of art, very tasty!!!
Two stars only for the view from the second floor.
We ordered salmon in pots. When I took the first piece of fish, I immediately spat it out-the fish was raw and even cold (apparently it had not completely thawed out). They called the waitress, asked her to bring a cucumber salad with tomatoes, because there was no time to wait again for 20 minutes. I mistakenly assumed that half a tomato and cucumber would be brought faster. After 15 minutes, we went down to pay for the order. We never saw the salad, the fish was reluctantly excluded from the bill, and when we hinted that we did not want to leave 10% tips for such service, which were necessarily already included in the bill, we were very rudely told -and you can't remove anything else from the bill??? Although only what we didn't eat was removed from the bill. As a result, an hour later she left with a piece of pita bread wrapped in a napkin to eat it on the road.
Great place💯
Live music in the evening. A very nice girl performs songs, we always danced and sang along.
The kitchen is excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful.
The prices are very affordable.
The boat is mind-blowing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ there is also a delicious roast with seafood and beef (these are two different dishes).
I heartily recommend visiting this place. You won't regret it
Well, how is it? What happened to you?
The perfect barbecue has always been and the nice attentive staff.
The recipe for the mushroom marinade was shared a couple of years ago, I only use it.
Well, we have been coming to you for more than one year, what has changed now?
Today, lamb with gypsy color, raw wings, bloody pork with the answer from the chef - it's juice!
But the champagne is excellent!
You have always been cool, please return the kitchen and service!!!🫶
We drank oriental coffee with added milk and sugar for 550 rubles for two, although in coffee shops it will cost well 200-300 rubles.
Unnecessarily expensive, 10% tip is sewn into the bill.
No wonder the restaurant is empty.
The view from the windows is beautiful - that's where the advantages end
A normal cafe. We helped out during the off-season, when many cafes in this part of the city are closed. Khinkali is so-so, but very tasty kharcho soup!
Very tasty cuisine, varied, ) Clean, cozy, served quickly. Light music is playing, I liked everything very much. You can even have takeaway dishes)I advise everyone.
We visited this restaurant for the first time, I am extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the waitresses.
Two girls are working, their faces look like we went to their house without permission, neither hello nor goodbye! They were sitting at the table on their phones until we called, no one was going to come up to us. The service leaves much to be desired. They brought a mojito with a fly (to call this blue liquid "mojito" is certainly strong), when I said this, a girl came up, took it, looked at me and said, "and now what do you suggest?" I was shocked, honestly. I expected to hear at least an elementary "excuse me", but she turned around with a jug in her hands and left, did not approach us again until they asked us to calculate, brought the bill and went outside with the phone.
Honestly, there was no delight from the food itself either, burnt dried pizza, raw potatoes, mojito lemonade is just a wash, it's creepy, but the prices are cosmic.
I do not recommend this place.
I don't know who writes positive reviews here and for what? But the cafe is disgusting in terms of food and service! Not only are tips automatically included in the order price +10%, but they also do not give 50p change easily. The average meal is 500-600 ₽ plus a tip of 10%, the dishes are small, not satisfying. We ordered a boat, one dough, something that does not look close to a positive review. It is not possible to eat khinkali, just pepper! One plus the fruit drink is really delicious, but the volume is clearly not 200g! The wait for the dish, despite the fact that 1 table was occupied in the institution with us, was 40 minutes. Definitely not recommended! Posted on 08/04/24
The most disgusting khinkali I've ever eaten. Wherever I ate them in the territory of the Russian Federation: Leningrad region, St. Petersburg, Pyatigorsk and I ate every khinkali with different fillings with pleasure. I came here hoping to try delicious khinkali, and as a result, heartburn and budget lip augmentation. It's just disgusting. They knew that tourists came here and even simply did not mention spicy dishes on the menu. 🤦♀️
Very tasty pizza, all the food is cooked quickly, good atmosphere, non-stressful music, parking nearby, sea and beach views, you can relax and eat while looking after things, prices are normal as everywhere, from the cons of draining in front of the cafe to the open sea.
Terrible service. We came in, they gave us a menu, and it didn't fit for a very long time until we asked them to come over. They said it would be ready in 20 minutes, part of the order was delivered in 30 minutes, and the last dish was brought in forty. If they had said right away that they would cook so much, then we would not have waited. I would like to note that the hall was half empty, so they did not have any workload
If I could, I would put not only one star here, but also a number in the magazine for a quarter. Slow waiters, who tend not to notice the guests, a lot of positions present on the menu, but absent in fact, because "we are not the dining room to pour compote with glasses," lol. Bastard music about the fun (and sometimes hard) life of mountain boys, which costs 200 rubles to switch. Grease-stained tables, among which it is a big problem to choose a more or less clean one. And the cherry on the cake, when there was already the last hope that delicious food would somehow smooth out the shortcomings, they asked twice what kind of meat they put in the roast, they assured us that beef. And after half an hour of waiting, pork suddenly appeared there. By accident, probably.
The most delicious pizza on the coast is in this amazing place: the fascinating view from the panoramic windows, the opportunity to retire in a cocoon on the 2nd floor and walking access to the beach make Rusalka a favorite place in Gagra.
This is the worst institution in Abkhazia that we visited in 2 weeks in July. The boat, pasta, pizza, eggplant salad are not tasty, and meat in Abkhazian is just a shame - solid fat and veins, the frying pan in the photo is smaller than the palm. There is no service. In the evening, the music screams so that it is impossible to be on the outdoor veranda. But those who are very drunk may like to sing and dance there.
Very tasty food, a varied menu, you can eat in the cafe on the ground floor under air conditioning, or outdoors on the second floor overlooking the mountains and the sea. I would also like to thank the waiter Nina for the polite and attentive service. Special thanks to the cafe management for such employees!
A great selection of specialties. That is, local dishes.
I recommend Ashta Lasha wine to them.
This is one of the most worthy whites in Abkhazia.
Well, the view is good.
But I was in the spring and everything can change with the dawn of tourism
Who's yelling like that! He screams and does not sing in the evenings! Ears pop every night from this "talent"! Get him out of there! You can't eat quietly in a cafe next door. So he doesn't just yell, he also sings along to the phonograms of others! A wonderful cafe, food and everything spoils this artist, if you can even call him that!
Their advantages are a beautiful view from the outdoor terrace and a normal kitchen.
The disadvantages are the staff and drinks.
In principle, these disadvantages cover all the advantages.
It feels like I came to the waitress (a woman with a black short haircut) at home, put my feet on the table and wait for her to serve me dinner. Well, the expression on his face was exactly like that. 4 glasses and 4 sets of appliances were brought for a family of 5 people 😅
He does not clean the empty dishes, although he comes to the table bringing new dishes. But as soon as she brought the bill, she stood over the table without taking her eyes off. Even if you have had cases where guests left without paying or leaving the mandatory 10% tip (here I even understand them), this does not mean that you need to stick your nose into the wallet of visitors.
And yet, out of about 8 types of soups, there was probably one available, there was not even a simple morse from the menu. They brought a raspberry drink of their own!(we clarified) the production, which turned out to be diluted with yuppie.
It is a pity that a promising institution is losing potential customers due to low-quality staff. We will not return, and let alone advise- we will tell everyone we know to avoid it.
Alice is not a guest receptionist. When we came to ask the receptionist when we were going to eat, she started to get nervous, scream, poke her pen at the screen. We don't play the Little Mermaid anymore. Khinkali is not tasty, I do not recommend ordering them there.
We waited about 1.5 hours for the order, of which the waiter did not approach us for 20 minutes until we called ourselves. After ordering, it took us only 50 minutes to start bringing 1 dish each (.
It's a very cool cafe. We were in it in August 2023. Fast service, fast enough delivery, taking into account what is being prepared from under the knife. The children really liked the mojito lemonade in the jug. The dishes are very tasty, especially the barbecue. For the price, as well as on the whole coast, it is available. Recommend.
On a rainy August evening, we reached this cafe. It is very cozy inside, sofas, a pedestal. Panoramic windows offer sea views. The prices are very reasonable, the presentation is beautiful. The dishes are delicious and quick to serve. A lemon is a bonus for cognac. In the evenings, the girl sings beautifully. I recommend it to everyone delicious and cozy!
We took 5 types of dishes. salyanka is delicious, khinkali did not like it, thick dough, serving without sauce, little filling. The Abkhazian roast is not clear. Just stewed vegetables. Fituccini liked it. They also included wine and coffee in the receipt, which we did not order. We drank at the next table and were treated to a glass of wine, they didn't even sort it out at the checkout. Be vigilant. Minus, there is no acquiring, only cash or transfer
Today we had lunch in a cafe, we waited a very long time for an order. They asked to give a spoon to the liquid beans, they did not give it, they said you can dip the bird.There were many dishes missing from the menu, flies were constantly climbing into the food, sitting on spoons. The toilet does not flush, the smell is disgusting, the waitress is arrogant, unfriendly. But they charge 10% for the service. If you knew that it would be better to be hungry.
Excellent staff,fast delivery, everything that was ordered (submission +/-15-20 minutes), prepare the norms.The interior is old, but it is almost invisible against the background of the sea.
To be honest, I didn't think that such an attitude to the customer and service still exists somewhere, but a surprise was waiting for me in the Little Mermaid) I stopped by for a cocktail before dinner for a short time. The cafe has a cool terrace on the second floor, overlooking the sunset. I went up to the second floor, one family is having dinner, there is no waiter. I waited, no one is coming, I decided to go down myself, order at the bar, it's not difficult for me. I go down to the main hall, the huge hall is empty, not a single visitor, three waiters are going about their business, not paying attention to me) took the menu, chose a cocktail, intercepted the waiter and asked to bring it to the second floor. The girl didn't understand me right away, but she seemed to hear about the cocktail and said, get up, we'll go to you now. Fine, I'm waiting. Five minutes later, another adult waitress brings the cocktail (holding it in her hand), gives it to me. I ask if it is possible to pay off right away, to which she raises a heavy look at me and, without hiding her discontent and shock at the same time, asks if I'm not going to order anything else. I answer in the negative and she immediately turns around silently and starts to leave. Talking to her back, I remind her about the bill, to which I hear: "go down and pay yourself")) I'm in a good mood, so I hold back and ask if I can do it later, to which I hear: "no, go down now and pay right away." It's a pity, of course, not to convey the tone through the text, but it was magical). I will not go into further details, this, in principle, is enough) I paid, took five sips of a disgusting cocktail, which was clearly on vodka, instead of another declared strong alcohol, and drove off to a delicious dinner. But the Little Mermaid and the adult blonde waiter will remain in my memories for a long time) I sincerely hope that the owner will read this and perhaps understand why in the season, at the most popular time for dinner, there is no one in the huge restaurant.
We came to the cafe, ordered chicken chop, rustic potatoes, kharcho soup and seafood salad. The order was waited for about 30 minutes, although the space in the cafe was small, three tables were occupied. The food was brought, I can't say much about it, but it was very tasty. Everything came out to us at 1800 rubles, they left 200 rubles as a tip.
There was great music and karaoke in the cafe. It was possible to put on any music for 200 rubles.
There was a lot of space, the tables were not big, but there were enough people for a lot. There was also an exit to the street, for summer gatherings it was the best.
Nevertheless, the order was waited for a long time, for such a small workload. The music was playing very loudly, it was already hitting my ears, I could have made it quieter. It was expensive. For such a small order, it's a lot of money.
Strange sofas, they were made like a slide, you constantly roll down and come to get better.
There was no hot water in the faucet, so I had to wet my hands with ice water.
⭐️ 4/5, good, even very good
Everything would be fine if it weren't for the insane number of flies!! And so the food is quite tasty, the service is from a series of whom you will get...there are adequate waitresses, and there are outright grabbers (with a dark short haircut and a bulging lip, she does not give change on the bill!) ... but nevertheless this does not spoil the impression of the food, although you can get to the fact that the dishes stated in the menu are missing..
We waited a very long time for the order, more than 40 minutes, although they said that everything was being prepared for 20 minutes. The roast was not salty. If you want to leisurely sit in a pleasant place, then it will do. But we wanted to eat, after a walk, and such a long wait upset us.
A very good institution, from the many cafes located along the embankment, adequate service and food were found only here, very tasty, they won't poison you for sure (it's funny to memorize, but in Gagra this is reality)
On the second floor there is a beautiful view under the starry sky. Live music from a singer with a scythe, karaoke. The waiter is Konstantin dushevny. Shish kebab with pita bread is lovely.
Pass by this place!!! The service was raised in high tones, rudeness, when we chose the wine, the waitress said that choose now, otherwise she would not fit a second time. It's dirty! The tables are all greasy, it's unpleasant to sit, no one wipes them. A long wait. Instead of beef, another dish was brought. The food is average.
Boorish waitresses, sitting on the couch at the table on their phones and do not notice anyone from the visitors. As they came, they left without eating, from such an attitude at the beginning of the reception, they did not want us to be served in such a tone. I do not recommend visiting.
