Monuments & Statues
The Monument to Vasily Chapaev, unveiled in 1932, stands as a striking tribute to the legendary Red Army commander who became a symbol of heroism during the Russian Civil War. This dynamic sculptural composition is notable for being the first multi-figure sculpture created under Soviet rule and commemorates the October Revolution of 1917. While many visitors flock to capture photos with this impressive monument, it's wise to delve into its historical significance beforehand for a richer experience.

(Translated by Google) The monument to Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev is one of the most noticeable and significant in Samara. Installed on Chapaev Square in front of the drama theater. The height of the monument is 10 meters. The sculptural group consists of 8 people. The images are taken from specific participants.

(Translated by Google) Powerful composition. Dynamic, emotional. Chapaev was a legend in Soviet times. In Kazakhstan, at the site of Chapaev’s death, the monument has been abandoned and, apparently, will soon disappear completely. Well, at least here the monument is in fairly good condition. This is the same story. And a good attraction that attracts tourists. (Original) Мощная композиция. Динамичная, эмоциональная. Чапаев был легендой в советское время. В Казахстане на месте гибели Чапаева памятник заброшен и, видимо, скоро совсем исчезнет. Хорошо, хоть здесь памятник в достаточно приличном состоянии. Это же история. И неплохая достопримечательность, притягивающая туристов.

The Iversky Women's Monastery, established in 1850 near Samara, Russia, is a serene spiritual retreat with a rich historical background. Once home to over 500 nuns, the monastery boasts impressive red-brick architecture with gold domes and numerous chapels. After being converted into worker housing in 1925, it underwent extensive restoration and now welcomes visitors to admire its lovely grounds and explore the church.

The temple is very beautiful! When you enter there, you will immediately feel all the power and grandeur of this place. In addition, on the territory of the monastery there are burial places of famous people of Samara, even from the pre-revolutionary era! There is also a small chapel and monuments to people important to the monastery. If I'm not mistaken, there is even a hotel and an almshouse here!

Есть тут также небольшая часовенка и памятники значимым для монастыря людям. Если не ошибаюсь, тут даже есть гостиница и богадельня!

(Translated by Google) With great pleasure we walked around the Samara Iversky Women's Monastery, and with no less pleasure we visited the main monastery church - the Church of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. The history of the monastery, as is known, began on September 27, 1850, on the day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, when Bishop Theodoty of Simbirsk blessed the site of a new convent. (Original) С огромным удовольствием прогулялись по Самарскому Иверскому женскому монастырю, с неменьшим удовольствием посетили главный монастырский храм - церковь Иверской иконы Божией Матери. История монастыря, как известно, началась 27 сентября 1850 году, в день Воздвижения Креста Господня, когда епископ Симбирский Феодотий благословил место новой женской обители.

(Translated by Google) The Iversky Convent in Samara is an amazing place filled with grace and peace. Founded in the 19th century, it survived years of destruction, but was restored and today pleases pilgrims with its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. The monastery grounds are well-kept, with beautiful flower beds and shady alleys. The main shrine is the miraculous Iversky Icon of the Mother of God, before which thousands of believers pray. The churches on the territory, especially the snow-white Iversky Cathedral, amaze with the elegance of their architecture and reverent silence. A special atmosphere reigns here: there is no fuss, only prayer, birds singing and the ringing of bells. The sisters of the monastery are welcoming, you can order services, buy candles and monastery pastries. It is especially pleasant to attend the service - the choir sings so soulfully that the soul becomes light and calm. I recommend visiting this holy place even to those who are far from religion - here you can relax your soul, enjoy the silence and feel a connection with history. (Original) Иверский женский монастырь в Самаре – удивительное место, наполненное благодатью и умиротворением. Основанный в XIX веке, он пережил годы разрушения, но был восстановлен и сегодня радует паломников своей красотой и духовной атмосферой. Территория монастыря ухоженная, с красивыми цветниками и тенистыми аллеями. Главная святыня – чудотворная Иверская икона Божией Матери, перед которой молятся тысячи верующих. Храмы на территории, особенно белоснежный Иверский собор, поражают изяществом архитектуры и благоговейной тишиной. Здесь царит особая атмосфера: нет суеты, только молитва, пение птиц и звон колоколов. Сестры монастыря приветливы, можно заказать требы, купить свечи и монастырскую выпечку. Особенно приятно посетить службу – хор поет так проникновенно, что на душе становится светло и спокойно. Рекомендую посетить это святое место даже тем, кто далек от религии – здесь можно отдохнуть душой, насладиться тишиной и почувствовать связь с историей.

(Translated by Google) ✅ The power of this holy monastery is impressive. Faith is being revived and this is pleasing. Raising prayers today to the holy equal-to-the-apostles Cyril and Methodius, we ask that through their prayers the Lord preserve the Orthodox faith in our people, so that no temptations, no trials could tear our peoples away from the spiritual foundation on which our entire culture, our entire national life, arose and developed. (Original) ✅ Впечатляет мощь этого святого монастыря. Возрождается вера и это радует. Вознося сегодня молитвы к святым равноапостольным Кириллу и Мефодию, мы просим, чтобы их молитвами Господь сохранил веру православную в нашем народе, чтобы никакие соблазны, никакие искушения не смогли бы оторвать наши народы от той духовной основы, на которой возникла и развилась вся наша культура, вся наша национальная жизнь.

Historical landmark
Stalin's Bunker in Samara is a unique and intriguing attraction located beneath the Academy of Art and Culture building. It holds legendary status with tales of interconnected tunnels to other significant facilities and features such as Stalin's private office with numerous false doors. This clandestine construction was swiftly erected during World War II, offering visitors a journey back in time. While gaining access may pose challenges, the experience of exploring this historical site is undoubtedly rewarding.

(Translated by Google) Hello, Google Maps! Are you okay with the mogs?! I'll duplicate the review: An interesting sculptural composition. Although these barge haulers are pulling the barge in the wrong direction, downstream of the Volga. Ilya Repin, as is known, made his sketches for the famous painting in Shiryaevo, on the right bank of the Volga. And his barge haulers are going in the right direction... What's wrong? Don't you like the name Volga? (Original) Алло, гугл мэпс! У вас всё в порядке с могами?! Дублирую отзыв: Любопытная скульптурная композиция. Хотя эти бурлаки и тащат барку не в ту сторону, вниз по течению Волги. Илья Репин, как известно, свои эскизы к знаменитой картине делал в Ширяево, на правом берегу Волги. И у него бурлаки идут в правильном направлении... Что не так? Название Волга не нравится?

(Translated by Google) The museum shows the history of the Russian army since the revolution in 1917. through World War II, Afghanistan, Chechnya to today's actions in Syria. Lots of interesting exhibits, including weapons, banners, uniforms, decorations and other pieces of equipment. Part of the exhibition is devoted to the Warsaw Pact, so you can find a Polish accent. I recommend it to anyone interested in history and, above all, militaria. An additional advantage of the museum is its Soviet atmosphere. (Original) Muzeum pokazuje historię armii rosyjskiej od czasów rewolucji w 1917r. przez II wojnę światową, Afganistan, Czeczenię po dzisiejsze działania w Syrii. Dużo ciekawych eksponatów, w tym broń, sztandary, umundurowanie, odznaczenia i inne części ekwipunku. Część ekspozycji poświęcona jest Układowi Warszawskiemu, więc można znaleźć polski akcent.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place to relax with your family. Friendly staff will answer all your questions. At the very beginning, you will be given a business card with a phone number that you can call if suddenly you have been wandering through the maze for a long time and cannot find a way out. We wandered for about 25 minutes, the child was already tired and we were going to call and call for help, but quite by accident we found a way out. Perhaps if it had not been so stuffy, the child would have liked it, but because of the stuffiness, he already wanted to get out of it as quickly as possible. We have been to different labyrinths and they always evoked delight and a sea of ​​positive emotions in the child, but not this time. In general, children find it very interesting. You can and even need to touch, twist, twirl everything. There are places where you can sit down and have a snack. There is a store where you can buy board games, children's play sets (experiments, growing crystals, a do-it-yourself robot, etc.) But there are a couple of disadvantages, 1 - perhaps this is intended, but it seemed to me that there was too little light, it was like walking through a crypt 2-very stuffy (Original) Замечательное место для отдыха с семьёй. Приветливый персонал, ответят на все ваши вопросы. В самом начале вам дадут визитку с номером телефона на который вы можете позвонить если вдруг вы уже долгое время блуждаете по лабиринту и никак не можете найти выход. Мы блуждали минут 25, ребёнок уже устал и мы собирались звонить и звать на помощь, но совершенно случайно нашли выход. Возможно если бы не было так душно ребёнку бы понравилось, но из-за духоты ему уже хотелось поскорее выбраться из него. Мы были в разных лабиринта и всегда у ребенка они вызывали восторг и море положительных эмоций, но только не в этот раз. В целом детям очень интересно. Можно и даже нужно все трогать, крутить, вертеть. Есть места где можно присесть перекусить. Имеется магазинчик где можно купить настольные игры, детские игровые наборы(опыты, выращивание кристаллов, робот своими руками и др.) Но есть пару минусов,1- возможно так задумано но мне показалось что слишком мало света, ходишь буд-то по склепу 2-очень душно

History Museums
The museum complex, dedicated to Vladimir Lenin in Samara, offers an impressive collection of well-preserved artifacts and a meticulously recreated interior from that era. The beautiful garden and children's area within the courtyard add to the overall charm of the place. Although public transportation stops may be distant, the exhibitions cater to both children and adults with diverse subjects. Particularly noteworthy is the opportunity to explore the second floor where the Ulyanov family resided.
(Translated by Google) There are two institutions in this building: the V.I. Lenin Museum on the second floor and exhibition halls on the first. I will write about both museums. In general terms: friendly employees will help you if you need anything. By the way, the entrance to the building is located a little further, Leninskaya 131, you can get to the museum through a passage, which also hosts various exhibitions, usually paintings) About the Lenin Museum: a wonderful exhibition. Everything is beautiful, even the figures of Lenin and his family. Of course, not all the objects in the museum are authentic or have remained from those times, however, it is noticeable what painstaking work it takes to recreate this atmosphere of the late 19th - early 20th centuries... I heard that the creators of the exhibition were guided by the remaining photographs and memories, which only fuels interest in the museum) Next to each room there is a small signature indicating who this room belonged to) it’s interesting to look at antique interior items About the museum on the first floor: this is my favorite museum in Samara. No joke. Yes, it is not as big as, for example, the Alabin Museum or the Art Museum, but this atmosphere there, inside... It is so warm... Before the revolution, the merchant Rytikov lived on the ground floor; in memory of him, in one of the halls there is a small reconstruction of Rytikov’s shop and his goods. And this museum has such an atmosphere... Sometimes, when you look at the green wallpaper, beautiful lamps, windows, it seems that this is not a museum at all, but still someone’s home... And the exhibitions there are always interesting, they change In 2019 I was at an exhibition of pre-revolutionary and modern toys, in 2022 in November I was at an exhibition of Soviet toys (because of this, at first I thought it was a toy museum, but no) and recently at the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the life of Old Believers from the Urals. It was a very warm and welcoming event; at the end we were allowed to go out onto the patio and drink tea... I love these two museums so much I will definitely come here again!!! (Original) В этом здании находятся два заведения: музей В. И. Ленина на втором этаже и выставочные залы на первом. Напишу про оба музея. В общих чертах: приветливые сотрудники, если что-то надо, подскажут. Кстати, вход в здание находится чуть дальше, Ленинская 131, попасть в музей можно через переход, в котором тоже проводятся различные выставки, как правило, картин) О музее Ленина: замечательная экспозиция. Прекрасно всё, и даже фигуры Ленина и его семьи. Конечно, далеко не все предметы в музее подлинные или остались именно с тех времён, однако, заметно, какой кропотливый труд - воссоздать эту атмосферу конца XIХ - начала ХХ века... Слышала, что создатели экспозиции руководствовались оставшимися фотографиями и воспоминаниями, что только подогревает интерес к музею) Около каждой комнаты есть небольшая подпись, кому эта комната принадлежала) интересно рассматривать старинные предметы интерьера О музее на первом этаже: это мой самый любимый музей в Самаре. Без шуток. Да, он не такой большой, как, например, музей Алабина или Художественный музей, но эта атмосфера там, внутри... Она такая тёплая... На первом этаже до революции жил купец Рытиков, в память о нём в одном из залов находится небольшая реконструкция лавки Рытикова и его товаров. И в этом музее такая атмосфера... Порой, когда заглядываешься на зелёные обои, красивые лампы, окна, кажется, что это и не музей вовсе, а до сих пор чей-то дом... И выставки там всегда интересные, они меняются В 2019 году была на выставке дореволюционных и современных игрушек, в 2022 в ноябре была на выставке советских игрушек (из-за этого сначала думала, что это музей игрушек, но нет) и недавно на открытии выставки, посвящённой жизни староверов с Урала. Очень тёплое и радушное событие было, в конце разрешили выйти во внутренний дворик и выпить чаю... Так люблю эти два музея Обязательно приду сюда ещё!!!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum. The life of the era was painstakingly restored, because... This concerned the leader of the world proletariat. Even if you don’t like Lenin, visit and look at the decoration and life of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You won't regret it. (Original) Замечательный музей. Быт эпохи восстановлен кропотливо, т.к. касалось это вождя мирового пролетариата. Даже если вы не любите Ленина - посетите, посмотрите на убранство и быт конца 19, начала 20 века. Не пожалеете.

(Translated by Google) I came to a lecture about the Russian avant-garde, but I got the day wrong. I think okay, I’ll see what kind of movement it is, since I’ve already arrived. I go inside, and there are UV lamps, plants and screens on which naked people are rolling around on the floor. But in real life, it’s not naked people who roll around on the floor. And other people look at it. I love contemporary art, so I spent half an hour trying to understand something, reading the poster on the wall and looking at people rolling around on the floor. I didn’t understand anything and went home. Overall 10 out of 10, but not my level, I need to grow to that level. (Original) Я пришла на лекцию про русский авангард, но перепутала день. Думаю ладно, посмотрю что за движ, раз уж приехала. Захожу внутрь, а там уф лампы, растения и экраны, на которых голые люди катаются по полу. А в жизни не голые люди катаются по полу. А другие люди на это смотрят. Я люблю современное искусство, поэтому пол часа пыталась хоть что-то понять, читала афишу на стене и смотрела на людей, катающихся по полу. Я так ничего и не поняла и уехала домой. В общем 10 из 10, но не мой уровень, расти до этого надо.

(Translated by Google) Stylish and elegant interior, frequent changes of exhibitions, upon request - excellent support from expert curators. In the foyer there is always an excellent selection of artistic printed publications: an unusual option for a souvenir from a trip. The convenient location - close to the pedestrian part of the center and the embankment - fits well into a walking route through the historical part of the city. I’ve been there so many times - I’ve never been disappointed, I recommend it to both residents and guests of Samara! (Original) Стильный и элегантный интерьер, частая смена экспозиций, по запросу - великолепное сопровождение от кураторов-экспертов. В фойе - всегда отличный выбор художественных печатных изданий: небанальный вариант сувенира из путешествия. Удачное расположение - близко к пешеходной части центра и набережной - хорошо вписывается в пеший прогулочный маршрут по исторической части города. Сколько раз была - ни разу не разочарована, рекомендую и резидентам и гостям Самары!

In the lobby on the 1st floor, it is very cold, heat guns do not save children who are changing into New Year's or other holiday costumes. It's warm on the second floor. The palace itself requires specific renovation. Everything is old and shabby. I would like everything in such cultural centers to be renovated.

Kukhmisterskaya Al'freda Fon Vakano is a remarkable dining destination in Samara, steeped in history and elegance. The restaurant boasts beautifully designed halls that reflect its historical roots, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests. Patrons rave about the exquisite dishes served here, highlighting the culinary excellence that defines this establishment. While some may find it on the pricier side, many agree that it's worth every ruble for a taste of such high-quality gastronomy.

(Translated by Google) Well, I really wanted to visit this establishment, because for me to miss a visit to such a historical place, and even restored at a cost of 6 billion rubles (according to rumors), is simply some kind of tragedy). However, we couldn’t afford the Alfred restaurant, it’s too expensive), but we had a wonderful visit to the 1903 gastropub, where the prices are relatively affordable. We were there in the morning, so we did without alcohol, because if you drink in the morning, the whole day will be wasted, and we had a lot of plans. Therefore, we tasted something hot and washed it down with tea. Separately, I’ll say about the atmosphere, it’s incomparable. The gastropub is located in a large ornate hall, decorated in a symbiosis of antiquity and modern trends. The landing spots are very different and I think that every visitor will find a corner to his liking. I’ll also tell you that the dishes and cutlery here are antiques (wah!). The service is good, high quality and attentive, the waiters know the menu very well and understand the composition of the dishes. And the dishes are good, the portions are of course small (restaurant style) and quite expensive, but tasty and healthy. I liked it, I recommend it! (Original) Ну в этом заведении я очень хотел побывать, ибо для меня пропустить посещение столь исторического места, да ещё восстановленного за 6 млрд. ₽ (по слухам), просто трагедия какая-то). Однако ресторан Альфред мы не потянули по деньгам, уж очень он дорогой), но замечательно посетили гастропаб 1903, где цены относительно доступные. Были мы с утреца, поэтому обошлись без алкоголя, ведь ежели тяпнешь с утра, то весь день насмарку, а планов было громадьё. Поэтому отведали по горячему, запив энто дело чайком. Отдельно скажу про обстановку, она бесподобна. Гастропаб расположен в большом изукрашенном зале, оформленном в симбиозе старины и современных веяний. Места для посадки очень разные и я думаю, что каждый посетитель найден себе уголок по вкусу. Ещё поведаю, что здешняя посуда и столовые приборы это антиквариат (вах!). Обслуживание хорошее, качественное и предупредительное, официанты очень хорошо знают меню и разбираются в составе блюд. А блюда хороши, порции конечно небольшие (ресторанные) и довольно дорого, но вкусно и полезно. Мне пришлось по нраву, рекомендую!

(Translated by Google) I visited this establishment for the first time with a young man, when it first opened, everything was wonderful. Later, we visited here in 2023 and the last time on 10/19/2024. By 2023, a lot has already changed, I can’t say that there was a pleasant atmosphere, we felt an unfriendly, consumerist attitude towards us from the employees. On our last visit, we didn't order anything, we just got up and left. The employees are arrogant, talk down to you, they don’t come up to take the order, you have to wait for them, look for them, wave your hands, ask them to come over. The faces are dissatisfied, the voice too, they talk reluctantly. Probably the most unpleasant place in the center of Samara. (Original) Были в этом заведении первый раз с молодым человеком, когда оно только открылось, все было замечательно. Позднее, мы заходили сюда в 2023 году и последний раз 19.10.2024. К 2023 году уже многое изменилось, не могу сказать, что была приятная атмосфера, чувствовали неприветливое, потребительское отношение к нам со стороны сотрудников. В последний наш визит мы ничего не заказали, просто встали и ушли. Сотрудники надменные, общаются свысока, сами не подходят принять заказ, нужно их ждать, искать, махать руками, просить, чтобы подошли. Лица недовольные, голос тоже, разговаривают неохотно. Самое неприятное место в центре Самары, наверное.

(Translated by Google) We came with a team of auditors to check how 6 billion was spent. 6 carl. Well, there are facades, of course. The ceiling was painted. Probably orange paint. Among us there was a potter, a carpenter, 2 architects, and the manager of two of the most successful projects in Samara where there is Zhiguli beer. The hall is half empty, although on the phone they say that it is full. We were allowed to sit for 40 minutes to do our review. The columns are hollow, not solid, the tables are made of something unknown, the chairs are from furniture warehouses. The menagerie is made clumsily, should you burn pine with a torch? Seriously? There is little wood, although there are a lot of carved elements in the pseudo museum. Why not repeat it? The branding is incomprehensible: It says “kuhmisterskaya fona wakano”, the menu says “gastropub 1903”. They said you can call him this and that, apparently people still don’t know how to make a brand book for 6 billion. Ceramics are rather weak - neutral. Someone somewhere bought something from warehouses. There are a lot of studios in Samara that will make excellent dishes. Pike croquettes were delivered, Viennese beer 0.4 for 200 rubles. Zero four, Karl, in 2Q21? The toilet is excellent, but shared, the lock on one door does not work, they opened a week ago. The staff is friendly. But they still don’t know how to wear masks correctly. There is potential in 10 years to become a normal establishment. (Original) Мы пришли с командой ревизоров проверить на что ушло 6 миллиардов. 6 карл. Ну там фасады понятное дело. Потолок покрасили. На оранжевую краску наверное. Среди нас был гончар, столяр, 2 архитектора, и управляющий двух самых успешных проектов Самары где есть жигулёвское пиво. Зал полупустой, хотя по телефону говорят что полная посадка. Нам разрешили сесть на 40 минут, чтобы мы сделали свой обзор. Колонны полые, не массив, столы непонятно из чего сделаны, кресла с мебельных складов. Менажницы сделаны топорно, обжигать горелкой сосну? Серьёзно? Дерева мало, хотя в псевдо музее дофига резных элементов. Почему было не повторить? Брендинг непонятный: Написано "кухмистерская фона вакано", на меню написано "гастропаб 1903". Сказали и так и так можно обзывать, видимо не знают ещё люди как за 6 миллиардов брендбук сделать. Керамика слабовата - нейтральна. Кто-то где-то что-то купил со складов. В Самаре куча студий которые сделают отличную посуду. Крокеты из щуки доставили, пиво венское 0.4 за 200р. Ноль четыре, Карл, в 2К21? Туалет отличный, но общий, в одной двери не работает замок, открылись неделю назад. Персонал приветливый. Но носить правильно маски пока не умеют. Есть потенциал через 10 лет стать нормальным заведением.

(Translated by Google) Nice establishment, pleasant service. Wide range of beers. We tried Olivier salads with crayfish tails, Caesar, beef tartare (successful and tasty), we liked the squid in batter but a bit greasy, the cocktails were good. (Original) Хорошее заведение, приятное обслуживание. Широкий ассортимент пива. Попробовали салаты оливье с раковыми шейками, Цезарь, тартар с говядиной (удачный и вкусный), понравились кальмары в кляре но жирноватые, коктейли хорошие.

(Translated by Google) I came on vacation to my favorite city. I would like to specifically note that I live and work in Switzerland. I had been planning to visit this unique building for a long time - I am an architect, I previously worked a lot in the field of restoration of historical objects in Samara, I really wanted to see the level of work carried out, immerse myself in the atmosphere of a past era, and, of course, the format of such a place is interesting. And so, on a beautiful Sunday, I invited my mother, having previously googled that the restaurant was open from 11 a.m. on weekends. We arrived at 11:45, the gate was open, the restaurant door was locked. We walked into the courtyard - no one was there, other visitors were also walking around. The girl administrator was watching us through the window. I knocked, the girl, without rising from her chair, showed me her watch, I insisted on going to the door. Then, without opening the door, she began to speak through the glass! Then, poking the business card (into the glass!), she motioned for her to call so she could hear. I dialed while standing outside the door... Conversation on the phone with great pathos in the style of pseudo-luxury: 1) - they are open from 12, but the information on Google is not correct, 2) - they have no light now. No apology, no temporary sign. At 12, a young man opened the restaurant door, said about the light, and reluctantly apologized with the same seal. Overall, we left with a very unpleasant feeling. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the interior, but I have no desire to return yet. Dear owners, how can this be? Is this really the high class level that this establishment is positioning itself as? This is not a level, but metal wretchedness, also with a post-Soviet touch of exclusivity (your staff), but, as they say, “the theater begins with a coat rack.” (Original) Приехала на каникулы в любимый город. Специально отмечу, что живу и работаю в Швейцарии. Давно планировала посетить это уникальное здание, - я архитектор, ранее много работала в сфере реставрации исторических обьектов в Самаре, очень хотела посмотреть уровень проведенных работ, погрузиться в атмосферу прошлой эпохи, и, конечно, интересен формат такого места. И вот в прекрасный воскресный день пригласила маму, предварительно погуглив, что ресторан работает с 11 утра в выходной. Приехали в 11:45, калитка открыта, дверь ресторана заперта. Прошли во двор, - никого, другие посетители также ходят. Через окно за нами наблюдала девушка-администратор. Я постучала, девушка, не поднимаясь со стула показала мне на часы, я настояла подойти к двери. Далее не открывая дверь, она начала говорить через стекло! Затем ткнув визитку (в стекло!), показала знаком ей позвонить чтобы было слышно. Набрала, стоя за дверью... Разговор по телефону с большим пафосом в стиле псевдо-люкса: 1) - они открыты с 12, а в гугле информация не верная, 2) - у них сейчас нет света. Ни извинений, ни временной вывески. В 12 дверь ресторана открыл молодой человек, сказал про свет, извинился нехотя с таким же опломбом. В общем ушли с очень неприятным ощущением. Интерьер, к сожалению не удалось посмотреть, но и возвращаттся пока желания нет. Уважаемые владельцы, ну как же так? Неужели это уровень высокого класса, который позиционирует это заведение? Это не уровень, а метальная убогость, ещё и с постсоветским налётом избранности ( ваш персонал), но, как говорится, "театр начинается с вешалки".
