“Beautiful cafe with tasty food, amazing atmosphere and great service.”

Came here for lunch - we had a booking & I'd highly recommend making a booking if coming here during busy times. The waiter who served us properly cleaned the table before we sat down. A different wait staff in preparing a table opposite us, used the menus to sweep the crumbs to the floor - they didn't wipe the table down before the next guests. The food we ordered was well presented and tasty. We love the vibe of the cafe and will visit again.

I’ve been a repeat customer, and it never fails to impress. 💚 The food is consistently excellent, the menu detailed, well thought out and extensive. No matter what you order, the quality is there. Breakfast, lunch, dessert or just tea (not a coffee drinker) and cake - it always delivers (I don’t even have much of a sweet tooth)! The location and setting is a real highlight - particularly if you are a people-watcher. Dining on the mezzanine, surrounded by a great bookstore, gives a great atmosphere - a true booklover’s paradise. Waiting for a table is usually quite quick, though on holidays

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and honestly… it just keeps getting better. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every single time. It’s the kind of place where you start thinking about your next visit before you even leave. Yes — weekends and lunch can get super busy. But trust me, it’s 100% worth the wait. They even bring water to people standing in line, which already says a lot about how they treat their guests. And the owner… such a genuinely kind person, always present, always making sure everyone feels taken care of. You can feel the heart behind this place. I truly don’t under

Went in for a simple meal and ended up with one of those perfect cold-weather combos — soup borsh with meat and a side of pirozhki. The borsh was exactly what you want in winter: hot, rich, comforting, the kind of thing that actually warms you up properly. Feels very traditional, like the kind of meal you’d crave on a freezing day. If you’re getting it, it’s worth adding the pirozhki with meat too — they go really well together. There’s also vegetarian options for both, which is nice. And if you order them as a combo, you save a bit compared to getting them separately. Simple food, done rig
