Delicious desserts and good coffee. Pleasant atmosphere. Waiters can sometimes be long: they walk in a bunch and don't keep an eye on the tables. I notice such a strange distribution in all cafes in Samarkand.
Delicious coffee. Awesome Bolognese. The staff is very helpful. The atmosphere is calm. No one bothers. The wait is small. The interior is pleasant. The cost is appropriate. Thanks guys

A paradise for sweet tooths
I stopped by for lunch at Monet. A very atmospheric place with a beautiful interior. I advise you to try Viennese waffles with strawberries and bananas - they are incredibly tasty and satisfying. A huge number of cakes, sweets and ice cream in the assortment. Prices are above average. The place is popular, but rather overrated.
They are prepared from the cheapest and low-quality products, even I would say from fat substitutes and other chemicals, especially cakes, their cakes are the height of cynicism, how can you put plasticine there instead of natural butter cream, in Russia no one uses such ingredients, I will tell you as a pastry chef, just shame on you!!!I strongly advise against this place, in the pursuit of profit, they openly poison customers, they would have thought of putting Pakistani meat instead of real beef, if you do this, customers will simply stop coming to you, think about it! In the meantime, the NUMBER for you, it's a pity there is no lower grade, expensive and terrible.
It's not a bad place, it's cozy, but it can be a little cramped inside. If the prices are high, then for some dishes they are high, I don't understand why, but how it is.
I recommend good tea, desserts are on an average level, I haven't tried hot yet.
Pleasant atmosphere, efficient waiters, the food is beyond praise. Honey cake is just a fairy tale! Moderately sweet, airy. Probably the most delicious of those I've eaten
They asked for tea for dessert. In response, they say with an impudent face that there is no tea. Supposedly the bar is closed, although no one warned that the bar was closing, the last order had to be made! When they kindly asked to make tea at least on the electric kettle (it doesn't take much intelligence to understand that dessert is washed down with tea), they say it is impossible to enter into the system. Just a pot of tea! In Uzbekistan!
It turns out to be the owner's installation)
P.s.: Do not ask for a complaint book. You will be told with the same arrogant face that she is not there either...
I ordered fried eggs with vegetables, ordered sausages and sausage in addition to it, and asked to bring everything on one plate. As a result, all 3 dishes were on different plates and brought at different times. The dishes themselves are delicious, but the service is worth changing. You have to wait for dishes for 25-30 minutes and this is breakfast. The menu also says cheesecakes - as a result, only one cheesecake was brought, at the time of ordering, no one specified that this was the price for one cheesecake and you need to order several if you want. We ordered more tea and dessert, which is ready and standing in the window, as a result, it was not brought for 20 minutes, after we approached, it turned out that we had forgotten about the order.
It seems that the waiters do not understand what is happening and what to do with all this, it is worth changing almost all the staff.
The staff is polite but very slow. We ordered two breakfasts and sweet pancakes with tea and lemonade. We took a French breakfast first, then lemonade, then tea, pancakes and only at the end an omelet. There are no questions about food. But berry tea is black tea with lemon and syrup and the price for a normal tea with real berries in Tashkent. The ice cream is normal without complaints, in general, it was more upset than it was reduced 3.5 out of 5

A cozy French-style pastry shop! Insanely delicious desserts! I recommend the classic cheesecake!
I was a guest in this city. I really enjoyed the breakfast in this cafe. The breakfasts are very tasty. The atmosphere and staff are all top notch. I recommend it!
A worthy place.
But the leadership is the weakest point of it.
I was choosing a dessert, the head is suitable here, I see the director / or someone from heaven for this institution.
He got into our conversation without apologies, started discussing the working moment with an employee! And here I stand thinking, are you adequate???? It seems that here a visitor is trying to choose a dessert for himself, and you just came up and distracted him from work. I've already ruined my appetite... Choke on it.

Attentive Russian-speaking staff (and this turns out not to be the case everywhere). The waiters have a culture of communication, there is no Tajik gap about their own for the whole hall. I most often went to them for breakfast. Overall, I liked the place. All the waiters are attentive guys, only because of the specificity of the location of the halls I had to go look for a waiter to calculate. And so-very much so.
We waited a long time for the order, then not all the change was brought:(although the design of the cafe is on the level, these moments spoiled the impression.
This is still a pastry shop, not a bakery, there is practically no baking, only cakes and ice cream. The coffee is delicious, a masterpiece for Uzbekistan in general.
They're cheating. Be careful and check the receipt and the invoice.
The standard scheme is: they bring a terminal for payment, they do not bring the invoice itself.
I had to torture the waiter for a long time to explain where such a sum came from. After much arguing, they returned some of the money.
The coffee is terrible, don't take anything more complicated than cappuccino.
