Probably the best restaurant we've visited in Irkutsk. It's a bit touristy, but the food is great, the Soviet nostalgia is authentic, the menu enormous and the prices quite reasonable.

At the basement, nice setup, good service. All food has its own character, especially the fern serve below the Veal, mix with the juicy beef n source its taste extraordinary.

The best Russian food in Irkutsk. Best service and atmosphere!))

Wowwww this place is awesome. I like everything about it, from the food to the service and the style and decorations. Me friends and I had such a great time. First, the waiters understand and communicate in English very well. He was helpful and friendly. The place was decorated is such a way that you are brought back to Soviet Union time. It's got this vintage feel and very classy. The place is cozy and clean. There food are amazing. The pork ribs are so soft and tender. The fish pie are yummy. Potato pancakes are super delicious. Also, the waiter recommended us to order the traditional Russian tea and we did. OMG... It's so good. The presentation is pretty and the tea is warm and refreshing. He brought this beautiful big boiler with some honey, berries and jam. Who knew it'd be a perfect combination. Overall, this place is highly recommended. Although, it's normally very busy. It's a good idea to call in advance to make a reservation. And if you do go, remember to order the traditional Russian tea. It's around 600 ruble but you won't regret it.

Fantastic traditional Russian food restaurant. Friendly and attentive service, eclectic decor. Everything tried on the menu was to expectations.
