Sokhumi Botanical Garden, established in 1840, is a stunning collection of diverse tropical plants. The garden is renowned for its monkey nursery and the nearby Guma station building, which serves as an architectural monument. Visitors to Sokhumi can explore various attractions such as the arboretum, monkey nursery, State Museum, and art gallery. The botanical garden boasts a wide array of exotic plants and features a more than 500-year-old tree.
I highly recommend this place if you like plants or just to take a stroll on a hot, sunny afternoon.

The Sukhumi Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the city. Here you can see rare plants from all over the world, stroll along shaded alleys, and enjoy the freshness of greenery. The atmosphere is serene, filled with birdsong and the rustling of leaves. The ancient trees and exotic flowers are especially impressive, creating the feeling of traveling through different parts of the world. It’s a perfect place for family walks, photo sessions, and escaping the city bustle.

Sukhumi Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Caucasus. It was founded in 1840 as Sukhum-Kale Military-Botanical Garden by the head of the Russian Black Sea fortification line N. N. Rayevsky with the purpose of the introduction of new plants in the region (particularly tea and citrus fruits). It was ravaged by Turkish forces in 1853-55 and 1877-78 in the course of the Russo-Turkish wars. The garden was transferred to civil authorities in 1889 and the restoration of the plantings was begun in 1894.

Quite small and expensive relative to other botanical gardens. It has some nice parts but it is not worth the price

While the garden is not that large, it's still nice and there is a really old tree in the center, and when I say old, I mean really, really old! If you are in Sukhumi and got some free hour just get there)

Zoo
Nestled near a beautiful garden, the Sokhumi Monkey Nursery is not just a delightful attraction but also serves as an important research center that has significantly contributed to scientific advancements in primate studies. This unique facility houses various monkey species and provides visitors with an educational experience focused on primate conservation efforts. While exploring the nursery, you can engage with these fascinating creatures and learn about their habitats and behaviors.
Nice monkey bro
Da M — Google review
(Translated by Google) I was left with a deep, painful impression, because I feel very sorry for the unfortunate monkeys ((( They are fed very poorly, because we took special food and of course fed them. Very dirty cages, WITHOUT roofs or any amenities for monkeys - no imitation trees, no shelters or entertainment for the poor animals ((( A sad picture - we were still in New York, it was raining, they were all wet and many were sick or weak, along with the cubs. For children this is probably an interesting place, but for adults it is a difficult picture. (Original) Осталось глубокое тяжелое впечатление, потому что очень жаль несчастных обезьян ((( Их очень плохо кормят, потому что мы брали специальный корм и конечно кормили их. Очень грязные клетки, БЕЗ крыш и каких либо удобств для обезьян-нет имитации деревьев, нет каких то укрытий и развлечений для бедных животных ((( Печальная картина- мы еще были в НГ, шел дождь, все они были мокрые и много больных или слабых, вместе с детенышами. Для детей наверное, это интересное место, но для взрослых- тяжелая картина.
Наталья П — Google review
(Translated by Google) I do not recommend this place to visit for impressionable people, as well as for real animal lovers! A very difficult sight. There is nothing left of the nursery that was there before the war (we saw archival photos), the monkeys are kept in small cages with nothing in them! There is not even a container of water in this heat, the poor animals suck on the tubes through which water is released, as we understand, if necessary, to drive them inside. Everyone is hungry, stretching their arms in the hope of getting a treat, tearing up the grass they can reach and eating it... By the way, at the entrance you can buy a treat for them: a small package for 200 rubles. The delicacies are packaged not assorted, but with the same type of treats - the goal is PROFIT, the saleswoman offers everyone to take 2 packages, since supposedly she does not know what exactly the monkeys will eat from this: cucumbers or boiled corn (they like corn more by the way). No information signs other than the name of the monkey species and its habitat. And by the way, they could tell the story and purpose of creating the nursery... but who wants to talk about it... they read it later themselves and were horrified. At least they could give them some toys, make a swing... the poor doomed animals, who are destined to die there, don’t see anything... a terrible aftertaste remains. But we knew where we were going. Children, who for the most part do not think about all this, like to feed the monkeys there, watch them, especially very young ones... We read that experiments are carried out on them 😭 most of them can see numbers stamped on their bodies... it’s terrible! At the checkout, of course, they lament that it is difficult to restore what was destroyed by the war, but the impression was that no one is interested in this, there is not even basic care for animals... the smell is very unpleasant... Don’t go there 👎 even a local woman dissuaded us from visiting, she said that she had been there once and would never go there again and would not take her children there! (Original) Не рекомендую место к посещению для впечатлительных людей, а также настоящим любителям животных! Очень тяжелое зрелище. От того питомника, который был до войны (видели архивные фото), ничего не осталось, обезьяны содержаться в маленьких клетках, в которых нет ничего! Даже емкости с водой нет в такую-то жару, бедные животные сосут трубки, по которым пускают воду, как мы поняли, при необходимости загона их внутрь. Все голодные, тянут ручки в надежде получить лакомство, рвут траву, до которой могут дотянуться, и едят ее... На входе кстати можно купить для них угощение: небольшой пакет за 200р. Вкусняшни расфасованы не ассорти, а однотипными угощениями - цель НАЖИВА, продавщица всем предлагает брать 2 пакета, так как якобы она не знает, что именно будут есть из этого обезьяны: огурцы или варенную кукурузу (кукурузу они любят больше кстати). Никаких информационных табличек, кроме названия вида обезьяны и места обитания. А между прочим могли бы и рассказать историю и цель создания питомника... но кто об этом захочет говорить... почитали позже сами и ужаснулись. Хоть бы игрушки какие им положили, качели сделали... бедные обреченные животные, которым суждено так и умереть там, не видят ничего... ужасный осадок остался. Но мы знали куда идём. Детям, которые в большинстве не задумываются обо всём этом, там нравится, кормить обезьянок, наблюдать за ними, особенно за совсем малышами... Прочитали, что эксперементы так и ставят над ними 😭 у большинства видно набитые на их теле номерки...это ужасно! На кассе конечно причитают, что тяжело восстанавливать разрушенное войной, но сложилось впечатление, что это никому и не интересно, нет даже элементарной заботы о животных... запах очень не приятный стоит... Не ходите туда 👎 даже местная нас отговаривала от посещения, сказала, что один раз там была и больше никогда туда сама не пойдет и детей своих не поведет!

(Translated by Google) This place evokes mixed emotions, probably more sorry for the monkeys than interesting. They all sit with their hands outstretched, although many have enough food on the floor, perhaps just a habit of begging. At the entrance they sell bags of food: bananas, cucumbers, etc., it is better to leave this food in the very last cells on the right, there are a lot of monkeys there and few people reach them with food. The nature and atmosphere are certainly pleasing, but the smell is terrible... There are a lot of monkeys in number, but not enough in species, almost all of them are the same. Children love it there; it’s interesting to watch the life of monkeys. I don’t recommend taking photos close, they grab your hands and can knock your phone out. The three-story building, in which monkeys sit on all floors, is somewhat confusing; it is simply impossible to throw treats to the top floors. There is a small parking lot. Entrance 400 rubles. (Original) Неоднозначные эмоции вызывает это место, наверное больше жалко обезьян, чем интересно. Они все сидят с протянутой рукой, хотя у многих достаточно еды на полу, возможно просто привычка попрошайничать. На входе продают пакетики с едой: бананы, огурцы и т.д., лучше оставить этот корм на самые последние клетки справа, там очень много обезьян и до них мало кто доходит с едой. Природа и атмосфера конечно радуют, но вот запах ужасный... Обезьян по количеству много, но по видам маловато, почти все одни и те же. Детям там нравится, интересно понаблюдать за жизнью обезьян. Близко фотографировать не советую, они хватают за руки и могут выбить телефон. Несколько смущает трехэтажное здание, в котором на всех этажах сидят обезьяны, верхним просто невозможно кинуть угощение. Есть небольшая парковка. Вход 400 рублей.

(Translated by Google) There are no places to sit while children feed the monkeys. Entrance in March 2023 400 rub. At the entrance they sell food for 100 rubles. (but it’s not enough, so you can stock up on dried fruits, seeds, nuts, sliced ​​apples in advance and add them to the bag of food) there are a lot of monkeys, it’s better to go straight to the farthest ones at the entrance to the right at the end, there the monkeys are very hungry and are waiting for any food. There are aggressive monkeys, you need to be careful when feeding them. (Original) Нет мест, чтобы посидеть пока дети кормят обезьян. Вход в марте 2023 года 400 руб. На входе продают еду 100 руб. ( но её мало, поэтому можно запастись заранее сушками, семечками, орехами, нарезанными яблоками и подсыпать в пакет с кормом) обезьян очень много, лучше идти сразу к дальним при входе направо в конец, там обезьяны очень голодные и ждут любого корма. Есть агрессивные обезьяны, нужно быть аккуратным при кормлении.

(Translated by Google) Overall not bad. But it could have been cleaner. And the smell could have been better. Tickets, I think, are expensive for the current state (400 for adults, 300 for children). The territory is small, there are few varieties. It's okay for one visit, we won't go there again. (Original) В целом неплохо. Но могла быть и чище. И запах мог бы быть получше. Билеты, считаю, для нынешнего состояния, дорогие (400 взрослый, 300 детский). Территория небольшая, разновидностей мало. На 1 раз сойдёт, больше мы туда не пойдём.
Anastasiya E — Google review
(Translated by Google) We were there in May 2025. The sight is not for the faint of heart. The monkeys are kept in poor conditions, I feel very sorry for them. In my presence, they took one monkey, then put it in a cage, and took blood from its arm (paw). Perhaps the experiments are continuing. Anyway, monkeys should not be kept in such conditions! (Original) Были в мае 2025 года. Зрелище не для слабонервных. Обезьяны содержатся в плохих условий, очень их жалко. При мне забрали одну обезьяну, потом посадили в клетку, и брали кровь из руки(лапы). Возможно опыты продолжаются. Всеравно, обезьяны не должны содержаться в таких условиях!
Tatyana 1 — Google review
(Translated by Google) The most remarkable thing about this place is the walk up the picturesque stairs. After the rain you can feel like you are in a real jungle. I feel sorry for the monkeys. There are many enclosures, a monument in the center. Perhaps this was once a decent place at an institute that studied diseases and carried out experiments. Now they are dirty cages, nervous monkeys that pull handles through the bars. The children were interested in feeding the monkeys. There are signs everywhere that feeding is prohibited and there is a fine for food not purchased on the territory of the “institute”. At the bottom of the stairs, taxis offer to take you upstairs for 100 rubles. Above taxi 250 in the city. We went up and down ourselves and took a taxi for 100 rubles to the hotel. (Original) Самое примечательное в этом месте - это путь пешком наверх по живописной лестнице. После дождя можно ощутить себя в настоящих джунглях. Обезьян жалко. Много вольеров, памятник в центре, Возможно, когда-то это было приличное место при институте, который изучает болезни и ставит опыты. Сейчас это грязные клетки, нервные обезьяны, которые тянут ручки через решетку. Детям было интересно покормить обезьян. Всюду знаки, что кормить запрещено и штраф за корм, не приобретенный на территории "института". Внизу у лестницы такси предлагают довезти наверх за 100р. Сверху такси 250 по городу. Мы поднялись и спустились сами и взяли такси за 100р до отеля.

Abkhazian state museum

4.7
(159)
Museum
The Abkhazian State Museum stands as a cultural gem in the heart of Abkhazia, offering visitors an immersive journey through the region's rich history and vibrant life. This museum is not just a collection of artifacts; it’s a well-curated experience that spans from prehistoric times to contemporary events. The exhibits are meticulously maintained, providing a clean and inviting atmosphere for exploration.
Friendly employees. They can answer your questions about the natural history of Abkhazia and its natural wonders. Abkhazians are an ancient indigenous people of the Caucasus with a unique culture and unique language.
Frank T — Google review
In this museum the visitors might discover the history of Abkhazia. The museum is small but comprises all the historical eras from the prehistory to the modern times. Everything is written in Russian, therefore if a tourist doesn't master the language might have a problem to understand what he/she is looking. By the way, it is an interesting place to visit for those who want to know more about the country.

Paška H — Google review
(Translated by Google) The most interesting place in the city and very atmospheric. The main museum of the city, where the history of Abkhazia from the prehistoric era to the present day is presented. You can wander and look at everything yourself, or you can come at 4 pm and, if a group of 10 people is formed, then walk with a guide who tells everything very fascinatingly. An exhibition dedicated to the Georgian-Abkhaz war is also presented at full length. Tickets cost 200 rubles for adults and 100 for children. No access after 5 pm. Monday is a day off. I highly recommend it. (Original) Интереснейшее место в городе и очень атмосферное. Главный музей города, где представлена история Абхазии от доисторической эпохи до настоящего времени. Можно бродить и рассматривать все самому, а можно прийти к 16 часам и, если набирается группа в 10 человек, то походить с экскурсоводом, который очень увлекательно обо всем рассказывает. Полробна представлена также экспозиция, посвященная грузино - абхазской войне. Стоимость билетов 200 рублей взрослый и 100 - детский. После 17.00 доступа нет. Понедельник выходной день. Очень рекомендую

(Translated by Google) The ticket is only 100 rubles and there is so much interesting stuff! The first floor is about very ancient history (Neolithic, Bronze). The second one is very interesting and colorful, especially the room about modern history. I think it’s a must visit to know the context of why there are so many destroyed buildings in Sukhum, not far from the museum (Original) Билет всего 100 рублей и столько интересного! Первый этаж про совсем древнюю историю (неолит, бронза). Второй - очень интересный и красочный, особенно зал про современную историю. Думаю обязательно к посещению чтобы знать контекст откуда столько разрушенных зданий в Сухуме, неподалёку от музея

The "Фонтан" in Sukhum is a stunning attraction that captures the essence of this charming city. Surrounded by lush eucalyptus trees and vibrant palm fronds, it features enchanting griffin sculptures that add to its magical ambiance. This picturesque spot is perfect for leisurely strolls, intimate conversations over coffee at nearby cafes like Brekhalovka, and capturing breathtaking photographs.
(Translated by Google) Simply amazing fountain! I would rate it 10 out of 5! In my opinion, this is the most beautiful fountain in the republic. Restored and incredibly good! Griffins and palm trees around create a fabulous mood! In addition, you can take very impressive photographs here! 📷A must visit when traveling to Sukhum!!! ⛲ (Original) Просто восхитительный фонтан! Я бы и на 10 из 5 возможных оценила! На мой взгляд, это самый красивый фонтан республики. Отреставрирован и невозможно хорош! Грифоны и пальмы вокруг создают сказочное настроение!

(Translated by Google) Sukhumi embankment is a good place to take beautiful photos and breathe air, as there are eucalyptus plantations. But damn, the gypsies ruined all the good impressions, they cheated you out of some money, so don’t give your hand, and try to avoid it, otherwise you won’t get rid of it. Under the pretext of a holiday, they knit a thread with a wish, supposedly just like that, and as a result they roll out the amount. The fountain itself near the Palace of Culture looks pretty good, many people take photos there and we are no exception. (Original) Сухумская набережная неплохое место для того чтобы сделать красивые фото, подышать воздухом, так как есть насаждения эвкалипта. Но блин цыгане испортили все хорошие впечатления, развели с ниточками на руку, на немного денег, поэтому не давайте руки, и старайтесь избегать, а то не отвяжитесь. Под предлогом праздника вяжут ниточку с загаданием желания типо просто так, а по итогу выкатывают сумму. Сам фонтан около дворца культуры выглядит довольно таки неплохо, много кто делает там фото и мы не исключение.

Sukhumi lighthouse

4.5
(151)
Nestled in the heart of Sukhumi, Abkhazia, the Sokhumi Lighthouse stands as a remarkable testament to maritime history. Constructed in 1861 and crafted from steel by the renowned French firm of Ernest Gouin, this architectural gem showcases an impressive design attributed to Eiffel himself. The lighthouse is uniquely positioned on screw piles right on the beach, offering stunning views of the surrounding coastline.

(Translated by Google) Sukhumi lighthouse Lighthouse located in the capital of Abkhazia - the city of Sukhum. It was made in France from steel by Ernest Gouin. In 1861 it was brought and installed in Sukhum. The lighthouse is installed on screw piles. The construction of the lighthouse took 150 working days. The lighthouse operated uninterruptedly until 2000, when the release of funds for its maintenance was stopped. 24-hour operation has now been ensured again. The height of the lighthouse is 37 m. The illumination horizon is 24 km. Inside the tower there is a cast-iron twisted staircase with 137 steps. The lighthouse offers views of the cities of New Athos and Sukhum. The lighthouse is located on a sandy cape washed up by the Gumista River. It also gave its name to the entire residential area located around it. The writer Vladimir Mayakovsky visited Sukhum and climbed the lighthouse tower. The building made a strong impression on him, and later he wrote a book for children, “This little book of mine is about the seas and the lighthouse.” The poet’s mother, Alexandra Mayakovskaya, writes about this in her memoirs. (Original) Сухумский маяк Маяк, расположенный в столице Абхазии — городе Сухуме. Был изготовлен во Франции из стали фирмой Эрнеста Гуэна. В 1861 году привезён и установлен в Сухуме. Маяк установлен на винтовых сваях. Постройка маяка заняла 150 рабочих дней. Маяк работал бесперебойно до 2000 года, когда был прекращён отпуск средств на его содержание. В настоящее время вновь обеспечено круглосуточное функционирование. Высота маяка 37 м. Горизонт освещения 24 км. Внутри башни находится чугунная витая лестница, насчитывающая 137 ступеней. С маяка открывается вид на города Новый Афон и Сухум. Маяк расположен на песчаном мысе, намытом рекой Гумистой. Также он дал название целому жилому району, расположенному вокруг него. Писатель Владимир Маяковский посещал Сухум и взбирался на башню маяка. Сооружение произвело на него сильное впечатление, впоследствии он написал для детей книжку "Эта книжечка моя про моря и про маяк". Об этом пишет в своих воспоминаниях мать поэта Александра Маяковская.

(Translated by Google) The beach is not touristic, so it’s clean, quiet - a place where you can relax to your heart’s content, enjoy the view of the sea, the sound of the waves, the sky, seagulls + dolphins (they are always in this place 🐬). There is often calm, it’s nice to swim! On weekdays the beach will be yours! On weekends there may be people (about 5 people), mostly locals, local children, but they don’t interfere. If you live nearby, don’t be lazy - come to the beach in the morning ~ from 05:00-07:00 You will like it :) (Original) Пляж не туристический, поэтому чисто, тихо - место где можно вдоволь раслабиться, насладится видом моря, шумом волны, небом, чайками + дельфинами (они в этом месте всегда 🐬). Часто бывает штиль, приятно плавать! В буднии дни пляж будет ваш! В выходные могут быть люди (человек так 5-ть), в основном местные, местные дети, но они не мешают. Если будете жить рядом, не поленитесь - придите на пляж утром ~ с 05:00-07:00 Вам понравится :)

(Translated by Google) The lighthouse is in poor condition. However, like everything around. The lighthouse can be reached through a gate along the road leading to the beach. (Original) Маяк находится в плачевном состоянии. Впрочем как и всё вокруг. К маяку можно пройти через ворота по дороге ведущей на пляж.

(Translated by Google) The lighthouse of 1861 is made entirely of metal and is installed on screw piles directly on the beach. Manufactured by the firm of Ernest Gouin in Paris according to a design by Eifel. (Original) Маяк 1861 года выполнен полностью из металла и на винтовых сваях установленый прямо на пляже. Изготовлен фирмой Эрнеста Гуэна в Париже по проекту Эйфиля.

Where to eat

Under a 3-minute walk from Фонтан, here are a few close by recommendations for when you get hungry exploring around.

Нартаа

$$$$affordable
Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Sukhumi, Нартаа is a vibrant dining spot that captures the essence of Abkhazian cuisine. Visitors rave about its atmospheric setting and an array of traditional dishes, including their renowned kebabs and egg boats. While some diners have noted that service can be brisk but lacks warmth, many appreciate the quick turnaround from order to table. Portions are generous—sometimes exceeding expectations—and prices remain budget-friendly.
Authentic local food. Nartaa lives up to the name of hospitality (Apsua) of the nation’s local Caucasian cuisine. A little hectic on weekends, but well worth it. They really need a host.

(Translated by Google) The place is very atmospheric, there are many national dishes of Abkhazian cuisine We tried pork loin, the menu indicated a gram from 200g (we wanted to order that much), we were told that it would be a little more, somewhere around 300-350g (100g-190r) In the end, they brought 600g on a big bone, the meat turned out to be very ordinary, there was no special presentation. The egg boat is delicious (RUR 300 single), but it didn’t leave much of an impression. It seems to me that there is not enough interesting dishes for national dishes and music in such a place. There was also no wi-fi. The establishment is located near the sea, there is a second floor with a beautiful view of the embankment. In general, you can visit this cafe for the atmosphere of evening Sukhum. (Original) Место очень атмосферное, здесь много национальных блюд кухни Абхазии Пробовали корейку из свинины, в меню указана граммовка от 200гр (хотели столько и заказать), нам сказали что будет чуть больше где-то 300-350гр (100гр-190р) В итоге принесли вообще 600гр на большой кости, мясо оказалось самым обычным, особой подачи не было. Лодочка с яйцом вкусная (300р одинарная), впечатлений не оставила. Как мне кажется не хватает интересной посуды для нац.блюд и музыки в таком месте. Также не было wi-fi. Заведение находится около моря, есть второй этаж, откуда открывается красивый вид на набережную. В целом можно посетить это кафе в целях атмосферы вечернего Сухума.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty khachapuri from the heat. There is a very large flow of visitors; in the evenings during the season there may be a queue for a free table and for the toilet. Try to smile at the tired waitresses and speak politely to them, they will reciprocate ❤️ prepare small money so you can immediately leave the check for settlement + tip. (Original) Очень вкусные хачапури с пыла с жару. Очень большой поток посетителей, в вечернее время в сезон может быть очередь за свободным столиком и в туалет. Постарайтесь улыбаться уставшим официантками и говорить с ними вежливо, они ответят взаимностью ❤️ приготовьте мелкие деньги, чтобы сразу оставить за чек под рассчет+на чай.

(Translated by Google) We were with friends, we ordered food, we liked it, everything was delicious. Super! The service was fast, but not kind. Although on every corner they say we are hospitable people. People confuse the concepts of hospitality and tourism-business. They do not realize that the country lives off tourists and money comes through good relations. And so the country is divine. But as always, people are different with their quirks. 😊 (Original) Были с друзьями заказывали еду нам понравилось, все вкусно. Супер! Обслуживали быстро, но не по доброму. Хотя на каждом углу твердят мы гостеприимные люди. Люди путают понятия гостепреимство и туризм- бизнес. Не осознают что страна живет за счет туристов и через хорошие отношения приходят деньги. А так страна божественна. Но как всегда люди разные со своими причудами. 😊

(Translated by Google) One of the best places in Sukhumi. A must visit for all guests. The most delicious kebab and the most delicious boats! Very affordable prices. In the evening, during the season, there may be no seats, you have to wait. But it's worth it. By the way, the service is very fast. Even when seated, the food arrives quickly. Everything is fresh and hot! (Original) Одно из лучших мест в Сухуми. Всем гостям обязательно к посещению. Самый вкусный шашлык и самые вкусные лодочки! Очень демократичные цены. Вечером в сезон может не быть мест, приходится подождать. Но оно стоит того. Кстати, обслуживают очень быстро. Даже при полной посадке, еду приносят быстро. Все свежее, горячее!

The restaurant Таверна Хаит offers a delightful and captivating atmosphere, with its charming interior and spacious outdoor terrace. The menu boasts a variety of delectable dishes that are sure to please any palate. The pea soup is particularly tasty, accompanied by a refreshing chicken house salad. For larger groups, the boat dish is an excellent choice. While the carbonara pasta may be slightly oily, it remains enjoyable.

(Translated by Google) An unrealistically cool place. Firstly, there I found mullet on the menu and it really was there, because before that, having driven along the entire coast, I could not eat it anywhere. Available on the menu, not available. Secondly - perfect service. The waiter Innessa is a very polite, courteous, kind, cheerful, competent and correct girl. The food is incredibly delicious. The most important thing is that the stupid 10% that all low-quality eateries squeeze into checks is not included in the check. Here in the tavern, you want to leave a tip yourself. And most importantly: you can tell a lot about the establishment itself by the state of the toilet. So here it is. The toilet here is beyond praise. Clean, beautiful, presentable. Without any smells. Very cool. The establishment itself gets a solid A for everything. Many thanks to the owner of the establishment and good luck in business (Original) Нереально кайфовое место. Во-первых, там я нашёл в меню барабульку и она реально была, потому что до этого, проехав по всему побережью, я нигде не смог её поесть. В меню есть- в наличии нет. Во вторых - идеальный сервис. Официант Иннесса- очень вежливая, обходительная, добрая, весёлая, компетентная и корректная девушка. Еда- нереально вкусная. Самое главное, в чек не включают дурацкие 10%, которые впихивают в чеки всё низкосортные забегаловки. Тут в таверне, самим хочется оставить чаевые. И самое главное: о самом заведении можно много сказать по состоянию туалета. Так вот. Тут туалет выше всяких похвал. Чисто, красиво, презентабельно. Без каких либо запахов. Очень здорово. Самому заведению- твёрдую пятёрку за всё. Хозяину заведения-огромное спасибо и удачи в бизнесе

(Translated by Google) We fell for the reviews, visited - and we really liked everything! The beer is quite up to par, the EGGPLANT SALAD - we were ironic at first, but it really is very tasty and original! 😁 The interior is good, the food served is excellent! (Original) Повелись на отзывы, посетили - и нам всё очень понравилось! Пиво весьма на уровне, САЛАТ С БАКЛАЖАНАМИ - мы вначале с иронией отнеслись, но это и вправду очень вкусно и оригинально! 😁 Интерьер хорош, подача блюд прекрасная!

(Translated by Google) Great place! The taste and presentation of the dishes are beyond any competition. The prices are very pleasant and loyal. Pivas at 120 for zero five. My respect! An ideal place to have a delicious meal and have a good time. P.s.: I confirm the increased (~1 hour) waiting time for food to be ready in the evening, but believe me, it’s worth it! Their cook simply works miracles, and this takes time👍 (Original) Шикарное место! Вкус и подача блюд - вне всякой конкуренции. Цены - весьма приятные и лояльные. Пивас по 120 за ноль пять. Моооёёё почтеение! Идеальное место чтобы вкусно покушать и приятно провести время. П.с.: подтверждаю повышенное (~1час) время ожидания готовности еды в вечернее время, но поверьте, оно того стоит! Их повар просто творит чудеса, а это требует времени👍

(Translated by Google) Be sure to check out this restaurant if you find yourself in Sukhum. The Hait tavern is of course not located on the embankment, but it is a great place for lunch and a wonderful dinner. They serve excellent craft beer from their own production. And the main highlight of this establishment is its amazing European and Caucasian cuisine. For lunch, I recommend chanakhi, a very tasty Abkha dish that was prepared with passion. And also the khachapur here is very tasty, it has more cheese than bread. I also tried Abkhazian solyanka, it is moderately spicy and very tasty. And for dinner I recommend risotto with duck, pear and blue cheese, it’s just to lick your fingers. I also recommend the salad with crispy eggplants, arugula, tomatoes and bacon. (Original) Обязательно загляните в этот ресторан, если окажетесь в г. Сухум. Таверна Хаит расположена конечно не на набережной, но это отличное место для обедов и прекрасного ужина. Здесь подают отличное крафтовое пиво собственного производства. А главная изюминка этого заведения - потрясающая европейская и кавказская кухня. На обед рекомедую чанахи, очень вкусное абхаское блюдо, которое приготовили с душой. А также здесь очень вкусный хачапур, в нем больше сыра чем хлеба. Еще я пробовала солянку по абхазски, она умеренно острая и очень вкусная. А на ужин рекомендую ризотто с уткой, грушей и сыром с благородной голубой плесенью, просто пальчики оближешь. А еще рекомендую салат с хрустящими баклажанами с руколлой томатами и беконом.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant interior, many tables on the terrace, and the hall is well air-conditioned inside. The food is delicious, served beautifully, but it takes a long time (the salad took half an hour, the meat even longer). But the staff is polite and friendly. Walking to the tavern in the dark may not be convenient - the streets are poorly lit, and there are no sidewalks in many places. (Original) Приятный интерьер, много столиков на террасе, а внутри зал хорошо кондиционируется. Готовят вкусно, подают красиво, но долго (салат несли полчаса, мясо ещё дольше). Но персонал вежливый, приветливый. Идти до таверны пешком в темноте время суток может быть не удобно — улицы плохо освещены, тротуаров во многих местах нет.

The Dam restaurant in Sokhumi is a fantastic place to stay and dine. The rooms are impeccably clean and well-organized, with a highly professional staff ensuring a pleasant experience. The hotel's prime location puts it within easy reach of the beach while still being centrally located in the city. The food at Dam is truly delightful, featuring generous servings that leave guests satisfied. The restaurant boasts a wonderful view and an inviting terrace to enjoy it from.
Really liked the food, generous portions. Great view and terrace. Very nice stuff and service which is not so common in Abkhazia. Prices are a bit on a higher side

Great place to stay in Sokhumi. Very clean and tidy rooms, staff is quite professional, and hotel is located in close proximity to the beach while still in the centre of the city. All in all, strongly recommend.
