We were at the Balcony cafe for the first time three days ago. We ate very tasty. The modern interior, friendly and courteous staff, calm and not loud music, the atmosphere is pleasant and very relaxing. Before leaving home, we also went to the same cafe for a farewell dinner. We made a varied order from both national and European cuisine, served us quickly and everything was delicious! It's a good place! I wish you good luck and prosperity! It was interesting to watch a man who was engaged in cutting and baking boats-a real professional and master of his craft! Bravo!

It's not tasty. The music is dull and boring from the 70s and 80s, although there were great songs, but the DJ does not choose them at all. Arugula salad for 650rubles is actually Chinese cabbage, a little iceberg, and 7 arugula feathers - guys, are you serious??? In Moscow, you can find a better salad for this money ((( Beef in a salad is a cut piece of boiled meat, cold and hard. For the salad - a solid two. Kuchmach - on 4. Khachapur - 4.5. Asysbal sauce - naked vinegar.
I will never come again. I don't recommend it.
The dishes are cooked deliciously. Cozy and clean. I took off the star and the music is playing very, very loudly. And so everything is fine 👍 I really liked the barbecue 😊 the waiting time is 25 minutes.
I give one star for the view and location.
We were with my wife and two children. I must say right away that after dinner there, we both felt bad, we were poisoned, then read more about the food.
We chose a table by the window, someone was sitting there before us, they asked us to clean up, everything was taken away from the table, but they decided not to wipe it, they left it with leftovers and crumbs. In general, cleanliness is not particularly monitored, but this does not particularly bother us. And here's the food that we came there for.…
Meal.
We ordered a much-praised boat, princely (it seems so) according to reviews. Delicious dough, bland filling, not bad, but not the most delicious thing we ate.
Chicken kebab. The meat was not ready, the fat, the marinade was not tasty, it was too salty. We ate a couple of pieces, we didn't do it anymore. We suspect that the meat was spoiled.
Chashushuli with mutton, mutton is only one word in it, bones, skin, cartilage, the smell is not boiled. The dish is also lean, absolutely without salt, the taste is not revealed, they could not eat.
The Greek salad, it would seem, how can you spoil it, it was brought first by the way. Vegetables were probably the cheapest used, not tasty, the salad tasted like just drinking vinegar.
The fries are normal, the nuggets are very fatty. Milkshake with sauce like everywhere else.
The comments were told to the waitress, but she didn't care about salt, she said that they didn't add it at all, it was strange how then some dishes were too salty, there was no salt on the tables either, they said that they could then put salt shakers, the waitress replied "So you would say!".
In general, the price tag is too high, there is no taste, no service, no cleanliness, only the view is good. I don't understand how they got high marks.
We celebrated my birthday in this cafe. The price-quality ratio is not particularly consistent. One of the advantages is the singer and the beautiful view.
It's expensive, and pretentious, the girls are pretentious. I like it when there is an ease of communication. And the sea view is good. Well, there is entertainment for children nearby. This is a plus. And of course a good view of the sea! He hides all the flaws.
The best cafe in Gudauta. Atmosphere, food, staff, interior. Everything is at the highest level. And what are the views of the sea… You sit and admire. They have the most delicious boat. The prices are acceptable.
The order was of course waited,, but it was very tasty,, the prices were normal- resort, The atmosphere was pleasant- people had fun adequate,,,,,The staff disappeared sometimes, but the issues were resolved quickly,
It was out of season, we really liked the assortment of dishes, but in the summer they brought us unroasted trout and it was hard to wait for the waiters. And the price does not match the quality
Great boats, the dough is gorgeous! The best of those that have tried. Khinkali is also on 5. The service is fast enough. I would like more light on the lower tier.
I didn't like the fact that smoking is everywhere in the halls, there is no separate non-smoking room. Perhaps there are tables outside during the day, but we were in the evening and had to sit next to a smoking company. The impression of the visit was spoiled. The food is also average.
A pleasant place and, in my opinion, the most worthy in Gudauta. Nice design, a sufficient number of waiters who know the menu and the composition of the dishes perfectly. They cook quickly and tasty. It brings the toilet, 2 booths, where they do not clean, it is unpleasant even to go in to wash your hands. Separately, I would like to note the sea view from the veranda.
I didn't like the food. I don't know, maybe we were so unlucky. A seafood salad was ordered, in which only 1 small octopus, a bunch of tasteless and bitter mussels, a couple of unleavened shrimps (one caught a sharp fragment of a mussel shell) and squid rings, the rest are leaves of bitter greens and everything is poured with sweet and sour sauce, a disgusting combination, the cost of the dish is 720p!!
My husband ordered hashlama, the broth is delicious, but instead of meat there are bones with cartilage and fat on them.
The only thing we liked was homemade lemonade.
If you plan to go in the evening, then book a table in advance, because there are a lot of people in the evening and all the tables are occupied.
Thank you for the delicious food , you conquered me very much , the most delicious Khachapuri in Adjarian , I want to eat every day , delicious roast, juices, compotes, and crispy Pita bread is something , we have in Sevastopol , I have not eaten such , and you have the most delicious , friendly Waiters , the atmosphere of the cafe is just👍 minimum prices Which is very pleasant , for tourists , I will be in Abkhazia and I will definitely come to you. I recommend the Balcony, the best 🔥🔥🔥
The food is all on top, I couldn't think that everything is exactly like in a cafe at a high level! The waiters are fast, despite the full load! We did not enjoy the view from the balcony, as we were late, it was already dark! Hookah 1500, I didn't see a hookah, the waitress did everything. Dancing in the evening.)
I am writing long after the visit (August 13). We went there with the whole family of seven people. The restaurant itself is not bad: the appearance, the food... But we waited for the waiter for a very long time. This is also provided that the first part of all of us managed to order dishes, and the second part did not. We decided to dance, but the music is terrible. Obscene language, 18+ content, etc. DJ is not a good person. When asked to change the repertoire to a more cheerful one and suitable for dancing in a rough form, he replied to go to another cafe. But not only adults are sitting there, but also children... And not all adults like this.
About the bathroom. The toilet is dirty, but at least it doesn't smell. There is no toilet paper, but it was lying on the floor. The latch didn't close the first time.
I don't dispute that the food is delicious - it's really not bad. I ordered pasta with salmon, a honey cake and a chocolate cocktail for myself. The pasta is delicious, but there is a lot of it + not enough fish itself, just a few small pieces). They put a huge piece of cake, which is why they took it home - but on the contrary, it's good. The cocktail is wonderful.
But I want to note! My younger sister ate nuggets, and then she was sick all night. And she wasn't the only one who felt bad.
The meat is not checked here, and looking at some comments, you can guess that something is wrong with the meat.
In general, I advise you to visit either the cafe opposite or the Verandah establishment. They left without much mood, but there was also a tip of + 10% to the payment itself.
I read the reviews, many visitors are delighted, but unfortunately I am not one of them. Even without taking into account specifically the shuffled sofas and protruding nails in the window frames, I have big questions about food, perhaps the national cuisine turns out well, but for example, Olivier 1902 I did not understand, the very dried cold chicken fillet on top of the salad looked so-so, and it was quite difficult to chew it, in pasta with shrimp and in ordinary spaghetti with cheese, they forgot to add salt from the word at all, I understand of course that all people like to salt in different ways, but there are some standards, recipes...maybe the place is good, but personally I don't want to visit it a second time
I was with a girl in the restaurant "Balkon" 2 times: 07/22/2023 and 07/27/2023. Both times I ordered a pork kebab (homemade) and Lelya's girlfriend is a beef kebab. We decided to visit again on 27.07 and it was a mistake. The following days after our visits, I had a fever, weakness and nausea. The first time, I did not connect the cause of my malaise with the barbecue eaten in this institution, but after the second time, the reason is obvious to me and the symptoms of the disease correspond to meat poisoning. In addition, I would like to inform you that the chefs cook without gloves and hats, jump over the fence between the cooking area and the guest hall. I do not recommend the restaurant "Balkon" to visit.
There used to be the coolest cafe in Gudauta, but now it's gone bad! And it gets worse with each hike. The mushrooms on the grill were burnt, khinkali without broth, the burger tasteless - it was our last hike, in August, I attach a photo. And yesterday we ordered pizza, it was generally inedible, with an unpleasant smell, not baked, not tasty, and even barely warm. The waiter offered to warm it up, but we didn't have time. Sorry I forgot to take a picture, I was just upset. Khachapur boat was normal, fries too. But I think they will soon forget how to do this too, we will no longer go to this cafe with our family.
A terrible place, they brought meat with a smell, I did not eat, my friend ate her dish and as a result, severe poisoning, came to herself under a drip.
I advise you to avoid this institution
We arrived at 19:00.We ordered 3 salads, a boat and a chicken of tobacco. We waited for an hour, as a result, instead of a chicken, they brought a boat, but they did not wait for the boat. There were two types of bell peppers in the meat salad, which were not in the description. In general, they left hungry and relieved at 2800
I definitely recommend you to visit.
I strongly advise you to try a boat and homemade lemonades or compotes..
It is very good in the velvet season, when there are few people.
Clean, pleasant interior, unhurried waiters, shish kebab and khachapuri are very tasty, arugula salad was not brought, when all the dishes were served and almost everything was eaten, the waiter said that unfortunately the salad was on the foot, offered to replace it. Replaced with the most expensive "from the chef", a lot of mayonnaise, which spoiled the taste of vegetables…The view is beautiful on the sea, the coffee is brewed and it is very tasty.
The view of the sea and the rising moon is amazing!
According to the state of service, "what the hell did you come to us for?"
They asked to bring coriander to the barbecue - either they forgot, or they ignored it, it's not clear - they didn't bring coriander, and they didn't say that it wasn't there, well, okay) We didn't go any more.
Delicious boats, that's all there is to say. I also liked the trout and loin. But expensive. Special attention is paid to the toilet. It is there, but.... this is not a restaurant level. There are places with more delicious food and pleasant prices. Also, homemade tarragon lemonade has nothing to do with tarragon - it's 7up with mint.
Guard, change the DJ!!!! It feels like you 've been in the zone for three trips. There was an Emir that year , bring him back . It was great , people were dancing ! The music was different , for any contingent .This year, the grandfather is sitting and singing one chanson. Tin!!!
Turkey in nut sauce is bitter and rubbery. Over-salted mayonnaise. The check for 4.5 thousand includes 10% service, it is not very clear why. Dogs walk around the table waving their tails, cats itch…
2⭐️ for the beautiful view and lemonades.
It is unclear why such a rating. Baking may be good, but that's just a guess.
Rolls are not with shrimps, but with crab sticks (California for sure) . There is only one syrup in the lemonades. Always specify how much you need in a portion of the product (barbecue) - they bring it without specifying, it turns out that twice as much.
It looks like one of the two most decent places in the area. The prices are high: It's like in Moscow in a decent place in the center, and the food is lower in quality. Beef is not the best quality tenderloin. Meat in such dishes as roast has been previously worked out, that is, after cooking-roasting. The chicken in the pot is completely dry and old, after the broth. Everything is compensated by a creamy sauce, which is not a pity. Large pies are not baked enough. Potatoes on the side, burgers-everything is fine! The deep-frying oil is being monitored, thanks for that. But for that kind of money, you still want quality in everything and a mojito full of flavor, and the meat is normal.
Food: trout in vegetables can be loudly knocked on the table.
The chicken kebab was objectively cooked a long time ago: a bone burned from heating, a lot of sprinkled salt and pepper to disguise
Service: the order was brought, what was brought. Did the waiter drop the sauce on the way? Forget it, dropped and dropped, you won't get it.
Did you order something? We forgot, there was nothing.
Dogs. They will sit on your table until the waiters clap and leave. And why did you come? Maybe because you asked why, instead of two fries, you brought one serving?
And also, what kind of dish is on the menu, should you ask the waiter? Do you know what the answer will be? Will they answer, I do not know that you are asking me such questions?
Atmosphere: One star, I love dogs, but not very owners.
Total: oh, how bad it is here, with all the potential of a beautiful place, resources and opportunities. Sadly, sadly bad, tasteless and even, damn, not mentally. But for the sincerity and atmosphere, you can forgive both the disgusting cuisine and the malicious service.
On the plus side: you see a beautiful view, delicious boats, good cuisine.
Of the cons: A lot of broken chairs and benches, the tables are not even. On the playground, when evening comes, almost nothing is visible, there are flashlights in the corners, but in the center I had to sit with a flashlight. You just can't see what you're eating. The music is very loud, if you sit near the speaker, you do not hear the interlocutor. The serving of the dishes is long, only the hot stuff was brought, as in 5 minutes they bring the Strudel, which is with ice cream, they do not even specify when to bring dessert. When you choose dishes on the menu, not all prices are visible, most often the prices are indicated for 100 grams, so in the end it may not be a small amount. The menu looks terrible, everything is stripped. In general, the impression of this institution is not very good, we will not come again.
The cafe is open during the blackout. But the prices are too high, the food is not very tasty. There is no toilet. Close to the promenade and the beach
The cocktail is not very warm , Satsili with chicken ordered , the meat is not chewed , the wine is terrible as alcohol , they ordered 2 spoons , brought one , asked and the officer did not write it down
The menu is large but the prices justify the taste of the dishes. The wait is long both during the day and in the evening, even more so... there is no parking nearby...
This cafe is located near our favorite beach. The cafe has a large selection of dishes. Everything is fresh and delicious. Prices are above average, as everywhere in Abkhazia
We came to sit and just have a cocktail. We were already full and just strolled. I ordered the most expensive in the card - an aperol syringe, indicated as branded. Well, what can I say, all the delicious things of this cocktail have been removed from the native composition. There is no champagne, there is only color from the aperol, but there is no taste. Alcohol is clearly just vodka. In short, no matter how I tried to save him, everything sank into a large glass with melting ice. I was disappointed - the situation is good, but I don't want to come back.
