Primeira classificação Restaurantes e cafés em Sochi

Promenad is a restaurant/cafe located close to the Morvokzal. The decor is light and pretty, with elements such as plants and bookshelves creating a cozy, home-like ambiance. The menu is international, featuring Russian dishes such as borscht and chicken kiev, as well as steaks, salads, seafood dishes, and khachapuri (traditional Georgian cheese-filled bread, highly recommended). There is also a variety of internationally popular desserts.

If you want to dine Tzar or Tzarina-style, check out Aleksandr, a restaurant located inside the Chebotarev Hotel. This posh, classy establishment serves European and Russian dishes, including kulebyaka (stuffed pies) and smoked duck dumplings. Besides standard dinners, Aleksandr can also host banquets and business meetings.

Vavilon is one of Sochi's most beautiful restaurants. It is located in a park with lush vegetation, a pond with carps, and peacocks roaming free. The restaurant has separate VIP rooms and even a whole VIP house for those who want a more intimate experience. There is also an area where you can relax with a hookah. As for the menu, the restaurant has mostly European and Russian dishes, with the latter including such all-time favorites as herring, pickled mushrooms, and julienne (a mushroom and sour cream casserole). If all that is not enough, Vavilon has its own banya (Russian sauna).

In Russia the differences between restaurant and cafe are not as clear-cut as in other countries. A lot of the places have coffee and pastries as well as dinner food and a wide assortment of cocktails and other alcoholic drinks. A lot of establishments have both "restaurant" and "cafe" in the name. One such place is Brigantina, one of Sochi's favorites for casual meals. Brigantina strives to create the ambiance of a Mediterranean restaurant, boasting views of the sea and offering a large variety of seafood dishes. Brigantina is also commended for its high-quality, reasonably-priced breakfasts and delicious pastries.

Sineye More (Blue Sea) is an expensive place (think Moscow prices!), but it boasts beautiful views on the sea. The menu features a variety of meat and seafood dishes. The drink menu has a lot of pricy but high-quality wines and, of course, that ubiquitous Russian favorite, cocktails.

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. Sea Zone was originally launched as a summer-only restaurant, but may be open year-round in the coming months. The restaurant offers European dishes and of course sushi, as well as a wide array of drinks, including cocktails. 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).
