We have long wanted to visit this restaurant - the building is incredibly beautiful and luxurious, the interiors inside are in the Art Nouveau style.
We ordered mussels and Prince salad with seafood, fricassee also, it seemed delicious, but nothing supernatural.
In the evening, it became so bad that for a day hugging the toilet, never set foot in this restaurant again!
It is a pity that new owners who do not monitor the kitchen and employees leave on a hundred-year-old reputation
For the first time, at the age of 10, I heard from my father and saw this restaurant as something unattainable! To understand when it was, I'm 53 now!
Then the film, TASS is authorized to declare! The spy visits Gagripsh restaurant with his girlfriend! A symbol of well-being, prosperity, being at the top of the social pyramid! And so, at the age of 53, I found myself inside this greatness with my family! I cannot convey the disappointment that I felt. But then, later, the real realization came. After all, this is a place to visit if you happen to be in Abkhazia. The kitchen is very decent, although there is a deposit with a minimum threshold, but it is not critical, it is quite accessible to most, and especially to those for whom this name is not an empty sound! Take a look, especially since there is no alternative.
The place is atmospheric, with a history. It's interesting to sit in an institution and imagine how balls used to be held here. We came here only because of this.
The kitchen was not impressed at all, some kind of ordinary food. I ordered a salad, grilled tongue and grilled vegetables too. The tongue wasn't bad, but it was just boiled, it didn't come into contact with the grill. The vegetables were cold for some reason, as if they had been cooked long before the order. The salad is ordinary. The deposit is 2000 rubles per person, but considering the price tag, it is not difficult to order for this amount. I did not like the position "10% service", while they additionally write in the receipt that you can leave a tip.
In general, the establishment is for one time.
The most beautiful area of Gagra and the Gagripsh restaurant of the same name are magnificent! Located on a hill with a beautiful view of the sea in a wonderful forest, with magical air; very beautiful historical interiors, delicious food, full immersion in the beginning of the 20th century, everything is magical!
Delicious. Expensive. Sturgeon is perfectly cooked on fire. Musical accompaniment in the evening will pleasantly complement your evening. This year, the toilets were put in decent shape.
A beautiful place, a very interesting history of this restaurant, the history of the owners. Nothing in common, by the way, with the Abkhazians themselves. Let's get together. Well, as well as everything that is really grandiose on the territory of this so-called republic.
And now ...
1500 rubles deposit per person, or please do not come to us ..! That is, to stop by, for example, to eat with your family for 6,000 in Abkhazia?🤣
I'm in Novikov's restorns, in Sochi, or for example in a Weeping Willow Tree or in a London bar, or Moscow or Krasnaya Polyana, I can eat for 5-6 thousand, or I can just drink coffee in a very pleasant place, without any lepozita, of course. And no one will look at me askance from under the extended eyelashes)
And here, in Abkhazia.. Well, don't make me laugh. With a kitchen of the quality of a "decent canteen", I am offered to enter only with a deposit of 1,500 rubles.
The poor devils have just learned how to make a khachapuri boat and have completely lost touch with reality.
I read a lot of bad reviews and had doubts whether it was worth eating there at all. Local people said it was worth it and we didn't regret it.
I think the bad reviews are no longer about food, but about the financial part.
Yes, there is a deposit of 1,500 per person, but this is a local landmark, what kind of food will people eat when everyone goes around just to see. I don't think so.
The prices are not cheap, it's true, but we knew where we were going. The food and drinks are very tasty.
I read reviews about the arrogant stares of the staff, I don't know, I didn't notice. We were in the afternoon and I was in shorts and a top, there were no arrogant looks, in general, everyone sees what they want to see.
Tips are included in the bill as everywhere else and amount to 10%, but we have been resting for several days and are used to it.
The place itself is not bad. In general, if finances allow, eat, the food is good.
It's just a great place!
The food is beyond praise. We took pork loin, meat steak (meat dishes are simply divine, very tasty dishes). We ordered a salad (it was very tasty, but a lot of oil spoiled it). Also, we took an exclusive wine for this restaurant (the wine is very tasty). The food is just great, I really liked it!
The service is excellent. The waiters are friendly, know the menu and can recommend interesting combinations of food, wine and tea!
The staff is extremely pleasant!
The atmosphere and interior are simply magical (it was January 3rd). Live classical music, garlands, antique interior do their job. The appearance of Gagripsh and the interior are simply excellent!
In general, this is a great place that I advise all lovers of classical music and clothes to visit!
9 stars out of 10 (don't let people in T-shirts in)
Very nice, live music, there is a large terrace overlooking the sea. Good service and menu. There is a very large hall, there is a balcony, decorated with wood. A receipt from 2000 rubles, for those who want to visit. It's worth it.
Well, this is the place where I wanted to go, we arrived at 14 o'clock, there were a lot of free tables, we were well received, they let us in with a stroller (the child was asleep). The check per person is 1500 rubles, 50% for children under 7 years old. I must say right away, the dishes are expensive, so 1500 is not clear why)) apparently to work out, and not to come in for coffee)) we were 2 vz and 5 children, one of the children was 14 years old, discounts and no congratulations were given to the child, although I asked if there was something like that. They said this is a seasonal restaurant and there are no discounts, well, somehow you can at least give a piece of cake and a candle from the restaurant, especially since everything is clearly included in the prices) + 10% for service, by the way, this is also a nuance. We ate for 16 tr, well, it was worth it, sooo tasty and quickly cooked. The impressions were pleasant from this restaurant. I recommend you to visit, it's worth it
Of the advantages, only 1 is a beautiful historical place that fell into inept hands. I've been dreaming of visiting this restaurant for a long time, but I got completely disappointed((. The huge tables in the restaurant are designed for 6-8 guests, if you come alone or in a couple, you are simply offered to sit at a table with strangers (((. The waiter who served us does not know how to keep his distance, is a liar and a boor. The food turned out to be 3, it tastes better in any beach cafe, although the portions are huge. When you are inside the restaurant, there is a feeling that there is no harmony. It's like an ordinary dining room has been moved to a beautiful place. As a result: there is a bright wrapper on the outside, and a poop inside. I do not recommend this place, at most take a photo near the historical building.
Excellent restaurant,delicious food,live music and I really liked the restaurant's signature wine, the prices are not as high as they say, a worthy place in Gagra, definitely worth a visit.
Very tasty, just great. This is the main ranking place in the Gagra. The language is just a masterpiece, They offered an exclusive wine, and I don't drink red wine in principle, but it was just incomparable.
The place is old, beautiful, we have always wanted to visit it, but it is so purely for history to tell about it. We waited an hour for a table to be vacated, there were a lot of people, the hall was full. The receptionist and the waiter are very friendly. We ordered local cuisine, meat in Abkhazian, hominy with 3 types of cheese, royal khachapuri, cold cuts, a bottle of red wine. Everything except khachapuri was tasteless. The wine tastes cheap, and the price is probably 3 times cheaper then in the store. The service is fast, without complaints. The music was lively and very pleasant. In general, the prices are too high, the kitchen should be worked on. A place for once in my opinion.
An atmospheric place. The interior is stunning. The service is at the highest level. My family is absolutely delighted with the kitchen. I have never tasted such delicious dishes anywhere.
Good afternoon.The review is belated, but very honest!I love this restaurant!!!!When coming to Abkhazia, we definitely come to Gagripsh.Everything is at the highest level!The service, the interior and everything is great!
A good restaurant, very atmospheric. The prices are average, the food is delicious. The view is amazing from the veranda! We celebrated the DR, everyone liked it. The staff is sensitive and attentive, thank you for a good evening!
"They earn money from history, but they just don't want to bother filling a decently beautiful shell."
I was waiting for something unusual from this popular place: delicious local cuisine, attentive service. The menu upset us: the dishes are very ordinary, mostly European cuisine, the presentation is not interesting, the cost is high. Wine with a huge margin and tasteless. This restaurant definitely lacks a competent, modern approach to service. But it could have turned out to be a really wonderful restaurant.
We were two years ago at 22, wrote a review, disappeared somewhere. The building itself is just a beauty, from the Valhalla game!! But already at 22 I gave a rating of 3, since the food is so-so, I waited for meat for 2 hours, it is not possible to eat. But my daughter and wife liked the sweets and lemonade. And at 24, we decided to go in for a drink of lemonade and eat sweets with tea. But no!!! With brooms glued instead of eyelashes, she said that they were allowed only with a limit of 2000 rubles. To the answer that we will not eat lemonade and sweets with tea for so much, the spinner standing next to us. Probably protects this one with brooms from the disgruntled arrogance of the aborigines who seized the historical place. He said that with our prices and 10 percent on tips, it's easy, even on lemonade with tea!
And for the justified desire to see a beautiful building, the aborigines take a fine of 6000 rubles. Moreover, in a very persistent form, in the Aboriginal language where our native Russian is heard.
A clean capture of an architectural monument.
At 22, I still managed to get around him without a fine.
I would like to write in the same style of non-translatable turns of speech. But the review will not be published.
But it is still necessary to come and see this restaurant, it is very beautiful.
Maybe the Abkhazians will come to their senses and expel the aborigines from this building, or teach them manners and bring down their arrogance.
Good evening!
I want to share my impressions of visiting the Gagripsh restaurant.. We were a little afraid after reading the not very flattering reviews on the forum ..
But, in the end, a small banquet-my wife's anniversary was just wonderful! Thanks in large part to the waitress Regina! Special thanks to her!
She sent us for a walk to take pictures for 10 minutes, upon arrival all the snacks and salads were on the table, a little later they served hot, almost simultaneously for all the guests, 7 people.. It doesn't work out in every restaurant. All the dishes are beautifully decorated and very tasty. In addition to everything, the pleasant jazz-blues music created an atmosphere.. The female vocalist was also pleased with her professionalism.
As a result, the evening was a great success. We recommend it to ourselves..

An interesting historical place with beautiful views and a delicious menu.
We celebrated a birthday there in the summer, in principle, we liked everything except the deafeningly loud amplifiers on stage.
The music was playing so loudly that it was difficult for the waiters to take an order, and it was difficult to hear each other at the same table.)) In principle, they were in no hurry to take an order, even when we personally approached the administrator so that our table would already be noticed!
But despite this, the atmosphere in the restaurant was quite pleasant. Beautiful interior, with crystal chandeliers, delicious menu. The dishes were cooked quickly enough, everything that was ordered was delicious, which greatly pleased and did not allow you to be disappointed due to the deafening decibels and unhurried order acceptance).
In the evenings, live music plays, beautiful voices, good performance, but it sounds excessively loud through amplifiers, despite the fact that the acoustics in the hall are already excellent)))
Pathetic) beautifully. You can come for a photo and for a "tick" that you visited the Prince of Oldenburg's restaurant. In the large hall, we recommend tables away from the stage, otherwise you will not be able to talk. Sound engineering is suffering) Dishes : ear and dessert of the Prince of Oldenburg . Lagging behind by "3-4". But the taste and color , as they say.
Definitely worth a visit to this restaurant) But I would say for once. I really liked the live music, the atmosphere and the flowers that were on every table and they were big bouquets of roses. I love roses! According to the menu, we were not very surprised. But everything is delicious.
The kitchen is great! Interesting interior! Every evening there is a program with live music!
There are shortcomings, but for Abkhazia, and Soviet memory can be forgiven))
I recommend you to visit!!!
If you want to have a good time, have a delicious meal, try the local cuisine - you are not here. The restaurant was closed for some time for reconstruction. No major changes are visible. The waiters "sleep in a yoke", they are in no hurry to approach, but in the receipt plus 10 percent is mandatory. They asked if it was possible not to pay? The answer is included there. The food is very ordinary, We had lunch many times in less pretentious places, it was even tastier. There is no payment by cards, only by transfer to a card or cash. After we sat down at the table, we were warned that the minimum check per person is 1500. We didn't plan on spending less, but it was frustrating considering everything else. There are signs everywhere-you can't go there, there too, the restaurant is not an excursion for you. I'm sorry, you're positioning yourself as a historical place. Of course, everyone is interested to see at least the photos in the hall. The toilet was working in only 1 of the three cubicles. And if there's a full house? I do not recommend it categorically.
Friends, I rarely leave negative reviews, but here I can't pass by this "restaurant". I strongly recommend not to spoil your vacation and visit this place for a feast! Extremely mediocre cuisine at a huge cost! The service is extremely slow, the guys clearly do not meet the visitor halfway in the literal and figurative sense (they compare the time of choosing a dish from the menu with choosing an apartment to buy). The taste of the dishes and especially the freshness of the ingredients leaves much to be desired. In the photo, you can check out the quality of the wine label for 2.5k - in fact, it turned out to be not wine, but juice diluted with alcohol. Places like this spoil such a wonderful republic. It's a pity, I hope the owners will improve. Of the advantages, I will note the location of the institution and its appearance, the place sets up for a good end to the evening, unfortunately, the advantages end there.
We were at lunchtime, we liked everything very much. Everything was brought very quickly.We ordered meat from Abkhazia, Gagripsh salad, flounder on the grill, mushroom soup, mussels in cream sauce. Everything is very tasty, especially mussels you can lick your fingers.I advise you to make a deposit of 1500 per person.
what can I say, the restaurant is a legend, everything is cool, a nice price tag, quite polite and friendly waiters, the dishes are very tasty, I recommend you to visit
BUT, remark, the hostess would ask the girl to smile at the guests, greet them more kindly, and not stand and look as if she should, but everything is good
Everything is included, 3 meals a day, there would be more variety in the food, there is not enough fruit.the beach is separate, the rooms are top.we lived in the Adele building, I recommend the cleanest Sea to everyone.
It was 07.09.2024. Of the advantages, the violin was playing. The signature Gagripsh salad disappointed. The menu does not specify the composition and calculation of this dish. When asked about the composition, the waiter said that it includes beef tenderloin, bell pepper, cucumber. As a result, the salad was mostly Chinese cabbage, and it was quite spicy. When I asked why this happened and what the ratio of ingredients should be, the waiter politely advised me to order those dishes that you know and that there is now a new chef who has completely changed the recipe for the signature salad. Gagripsh restaurant is an atmospheric place, undoubtedly you want to come here. My advice is not to be fascinated by his cuisine in advance, so as not to be disappointed later. More recently, to eat here, the order must be at least 2000 rubles per person + 10% fee.
A nice place is quite acceptable for recreation, but, of course, a lot of things need to be done: a comfortable walking path, carefully clean up the garbage, in short, keep an eye on the surrounding view!
Beautiful restaurant, very tasty cuisine. Amazing live music. The portions are sooooo gigantic))) Yes, the price tag is not small, relative to Abkhazia, but this is not a dining room either. But each dish is worth its price. Olivier is a masterpiece. Dorado is the best thing I've ever ordered.
They left with a light draft.
When taking the order, the waiter offered us the dishes of the day, specifying the price (but the caveat is that it was said so quietly for 100 grams that not everyone heard). It was not said at all that the asparagus goes with the fish with a separate price tag. As well as vegetables for meat. Therefore, having received the bill at the end (14 thousand for 2 adults and 2 children, one of whom ate soup. Of the alcohol, there was 1 glass of local wine), we were unpleasantly surprised. If you are offering a dish by weight, you still need to specify the volume, and not make a portion at your discretion of 400g.
As for the food, it's generally OK.
The lamb is magnificent. Olivier 1895 is quite interesting. Freshly caught flounder is overcooked, asparagus is overexposed.
The building itself is unique, and it was interesting for us to visit it. But the Soviet flair has not worn off, for example, there is a sign at the entrance saying "you can not walk around the restaurant. The fine is 1000 rubles." Are you serious? A unique historical building, photos, plaques and paintings are hung on the walls - and you forbid going around and seeing it all?)
They announced live music in the evening - the singer performed two songs and that was it.
A nice beautiful restaurant with its own history. But the staff and the children screaming at the neighboring tables spoiled the atmosphere.
This restaurant has 10% of the service from the account and it is in the interests of the waiters to sell dishes and drinks as expensive as possible. As a result, out of all the variety of wine in the bar menu, we were given the only sweet wine available for fish and meat. Well, that's it.
The dishes are good, there are no questions for the cook)
Thanks to everyone who wrote negative reviews, went to the restaurant prepared for impolite staff, tasteless food, deposit and what else they scare.
The friendlier the communication with the attentive smiling waiter Elena turned out to be, the tastier the dishes turned out to be, the more pleasant the musical accompaniment.
Indeed, there is an advertisement in front of the entrance to the hall banning excursions in the restaurant and a fine for photos. As a restaurant guest with two hands for this. I would not like to see crowds of tourists with cameras rushing past the table.
The receptionist greeted us warmly, offered us a choice of several tables (we had not booked in advance), and did not require any deposit from the threshold.
While waiting for the order, trying not to disturb other vacationers, we examined the hall and took a photo from the balcony. So did other guests of the restaurant. The staff did not forbid this.
I liked all the ordered dishes. Achapa set and meat in Abkhazian were especially good. We took dry white wine "Gagripsh" (it is an exclusive wine on the menu), a good quality drink.
Yes, the prices are not low and 10% of the service fee is included in the bill by default. But I think this can be justified by the high costs of maintaining the old building in proper condition.
I liked the saxophonist, violinist and singer, the repertoire is pleasant.
Two stars and both for the building itself and the territory in front of the entrance. Nicely. That's all. Just to go for a photo.
There is no food, no service. Well, to be more precise, they are clearly not restaurant ones. But the prices are sky-high. As a result: for such an amount, you can have a decent lunch with a family of 4 people in a cafe on the embankment 4 times, and many times tastier. There is a lot of pathos, but in fact it is no better than an ordinary dining room.
The most popular place in Abkhazia and our most expensive and tasteless lunch.
Of course, the place is iconic and definitely worth a visit to admire the views and architecture, but still it's a restaurant and the food there leaves much to be desired.
In the royal fish soup, in which several types of fish were promised, there were shrimps and squid,
Flounder simply fried came out at 4 k, and why does the waiter not specify that the price per gram is also interesting.
The strudel was really delicious, so I put stars for it.
Those who want to try the national cuisine are definitely not here.
And if you have a fat wallet and little experience in food, please.
A beautiful place, very interesting rooms and the building itself. Beautiful views of the park and the sea. The food and service are average. It is worth visiting 100% recommended.
They looked at the girl and me as if we were shabby from top to bottom and offered a table in the aisle with free people at the window to whom they asked, there were no people, but they did not pass through exactly. We were decently dressed and said that we would have lunch and if my girlfriend hadn't gone to the empty tables herself, I would have had to leave with a grudge. And in general, the restaurant is still working and working before the luxury. So that they waved their hands and called for 5 minutes to triple the dish, no one paid attention. Nothing will be better in 20 years
We dreamed of coming here, we went and ... oh, horror.The service sucks, the food is not tasty, they impose the most expensive dishes, wines from the store, they gave 8000 not to understand why.They wanted Abkhazian cuisine, they said no, and they didn't say anything, they said when they had already made an order, the marketing is like this, I understand, but it's not delicious.It's like eating in a museum.The waiter also poured wine on the table.They forgot to make the salad, thank God, otherwise they would have given 10,000 in general.The impressions are terrible.The acre of the chart is shorter.They ate much tastier in the city.
No matter what anyone says, but the entourage of antiquity and the history of this restaurant make you feel something special, inexplicably fascinating and bizarre. Yes, they are such sentimentalists.))
In general, my family and I liked this place and, of course, the kitchen.
We chose from the menu despite the prices (my condition for my wife and daughter), but even after ordering far from burgers, our check came out at ± 6.5 K. They ate their fill. Very tasty!
The guys from the staff did their job very efficiently and competently. I liked the service.))
Bottom line: I will be happy to return to Gagripsh if I am in Gagra again!)
I really wanted to touch the story, built without a single nail.
A pompous place, but nothing more.
It may be atmospheric inside, but unfortunately my table turned out to be on the terrace, although there were enough places inside and the whole impression was spoiled by some banal insects.
The service leaves much to be done, the waiters do not appear on the balcony very often. The kitchen is acceptable, but without enthusiasm
In general, advertising does its job, you want to visit the restaurant, but exactly once
The advantages are the history of the establishment, the interior and presentable dishes.
cons - the waiters mixed up two dishes and refused to replace one, there is no service at all, although they add 10% for the service from above.
the dishes are not so delicious, we have an ordinary dinner in another restaurant there it is much tastier and cheaper, the price tags for the dishes are put only for their presentability.
we were not allowed to enter the restaurant at 19:30, although we arrived at 19:10, for some reason we cannot choose a table when booking, they just leave a random table for those who booked when they arrived by taxi and drove to the upper landing from there we were kicked out, allegedly we spoil the building there.
there are a lot of disadvantages, I have described about only 40% of all the disadvantages
I do not recommend it
We had a vacation in Abkhazia recently with friends. The driver from the transfer highly recommended visiting this institution. But alas, we did not pass face control in the opinion of an unpleasant girl who is a waiter in this institution. When asked to suggest where to sit down, we were asked to first familiarize ourselves with the menu, and then decide whether we can pull these prices. We were shocked by this attitude. We looked at the menu out of interest , saw the average prices by the standards of Moscow and the region . But the girl clearly did not want to see us in this institution , which she reported . Actually, we left this place without trying anything. (we looked decent by the way, not in swimsuits, etc.)
The city of Gagra is a high-class resort that was built by the Prince of Oldenburg, including the Gagripsh restaurant. An old restaurant built without a single nail. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food is delicious.
The place is memorable, the design is good, the deposit is 2000 rubles in 2024 per person, the food is like everywhere else in good restaurants in Abkhazia, therefore it is expensive, 5,000 for two, taking into account 10% for service.
The place is historical. The view from the balcony is really fascinating. But that's it... We had lunch at 23, it was delicious for my husband, they brought me pieces of dry chicken. Well, anyway, the lemonade was delicious and thanks for that. This year we are back in Abkhazia, we decided to go back to Gagripsh, it is very beautiful from there. But we were met by a haughty-looking waitress and told that the deposit was 1,500 per person. There were 3 of us and we were not particularly hungry, we wanted to have a snack, drink lemonade and go for a walk further. Spending 4,500 on lunch was not part of our plans. We left and 15 other people followed us. There are 2 tables in the hall. Questionable restrictions, given the level of cuisine (in the photo, meat for 650 rubles). Well, okay. It's your business.
