This is an inexpensive establishment known for its sandwiches, desserts, and, of course, good quality coffee. Especially noted is a signature sweet drink called "Panna Cotta." The menu also features dinner food such as pasta and steaks. As for non-food related perks, Double Coffee regularly holds live music shows. Please note that there are two Double Coffee cafes in the city.
If you want to get to know Russian cuisine, it is essential that you try famous Russian desserts. A good place for that is Alyonka, a cafe and pastry shop beloved since Soviet times.

The name of this restaurant and bar does not lie - the place is indeed located right by the sea. The views it offers are very beautiful.

Please note that the establishment is quite expensive and has a dress code: it doesn't allow people in footwear that might be deemed too informal (for example, flip-flops).
