We came to Abkhazia from Belarus for a vacation. According to the recommendations of our guide, we went to the Toastmaster and were pleasantly surprised. The premises of the institution are very neat and well ventilated, made in an oriental style, there are enough seats even for rather large companies. There is a toilet. The food from the wood-burning stove is very good, the local khachapuri (boats) are fragrant and, in my opinion, the best, since the yolk has never been brewed, the cheese stretches, the butter is fragrant, the dough is crispy. All the dishes are delicious with Abkhazian notes. Smoking is allowed.
Food is brought quickly, drinks are even faster. In general, I highly recommend it! I didn't have time to take a photo, the plates quickly became empty)
We had a rest in Sukhum in August 2024. We had dinner every day at the Tamada cafe (we lived nearby in the Amra guest house. I liked the cafe. It is clean enough, good service, very tasty local dishes, homemade wine and fragrant chacha.
It's a great place. I was brought by friends who already knew exactly the places in Sukhum where you can eat well and not get poisoned. The staff is excellent, as are the dishes served. The waiting time is very short. It was very tasty and satisfying. Feijoa lemonade is something!
Like many things in Sukhumi, payment here is only in cash. By the way, there is free Wi-Fi, which perfectly saves from roaming.
The establishment will please you with low prices, the range is also quite wide. Very tasty soups, medium lamb, shish kebab does not count at all- over-salted, burnt and with lumps of fat
I often visit Abkhazia, this year I live in Sukhum, I discovered an amazing place: a combination of Abkhazian, moderate reception and excellent execution of all the dishes presented on the menu. Delicious for 5, the prices are adequate, even low. I went many times, tried a lot of things, everything is fine! Don't change!
Awful. Very long service-we were left alone in the hall, but the food was not brought for a long time, then the waiter apologetically says that there are a lot of orders in the kitchen))- gum is nervously smoking in the toilet. The food itself is absolutely tasteless-kharcho is just rice with peppered water, a boat with cheese-the dough is burnt black, the cucumber salad is old, and all the food is like that. The hall is stuffy, even though the cond is working. And for all this charm, they also charge 10% on top for the service. It's been a long time since we've been in such a mess, it's just terrible.
Today we decided to have a barbecue dinner, VERY VERY salty!!!!!! It's not that they didn't apologize to us, but they also made us look like liars, like no one complained all day. The offer "try it yourself" was refused. Of course we paid, because we are not used to leaving without paying. I liked the pita bread and berry compote.
Barbecue fire! Sauces are just a bomb! Lavash is just a delight! Everything is very tasty. Thank you very much. We didn't notice you from the first day, but it's a pity. The prices are pleasant
Everything in this cafe is insanely delicious, mussels, trout are at a height. The prices are delicious, as well as the dishes. Wine fire 🔥 Thank you. We walk every day🫶
For the second year in a row, we spend our summer holidays in Sukhum, having lunch most often at the Toastmaster.
Convenient location (near the market), quiet, cool, sparsely populated. The food is delicious, the prices are quite affordable.
The nicest place near the market. It's budget-friendly and delicious, but I didn't like the dumplings, but in Abkhazia you don't need to take dumplings at all :) The service is unhurried, a great option to refresh yourself before or after a visit to the market 👍
It is divinely, unrealistically delicious! We went to lunch and fell in love with this place. The egg boat is not going to claim to be the best in Sukhumi, but it is definitely the best of all that we have tried. Very friendly staff, fast service, and incredibly delicious food. Thanks!
Very tasty dishes, especially the "Boat", good quality beer.

I still don't understand, is there a cafe or a canteen? Or two joint establishments with the same prices? In the canteen, the price tag is too high according to expectations. Khachapur boat is smaller than in other places, but more expensive. Although the food is good, but the look of the place is not very good. We sat down on the street... They were stupid... There is a terrible smell of rotten vegetables and sour watermelons from the market. I had to eat faster to leave as soon as possible.
A very nice cafe. We came in by chance and didn't expect anything special. The kitchen is very tasty. We took shish kebab, pizza, fish in foil, khinkali, caesar salad. The portions are not small. We didn't eat everything, we took almost half of the food with us). I really liked the tangerine juice. Prices are not high for alcohol either. The waitress is polite. They only accept cash
We were on a walk in Sukhumi and got hungry, we went to this cafe. After looking at the menu with affordable prices, we did not think that it would be so delicious. Dumplings and kebab, French fries with a cutlet, tangerine juice, everything is fresh and for five! I recommend it to all those who will be in Sukhum near the market.
The Abkhazian cuisine is great! We recommend you to visit, we took hominy, akud (spicy beans), kuchmach (a dish of beef giblets in a frying pan) and khinkali. Everything is very, very tasty. Sukhumi draught is the freshest. If you are in Sukhum, be sure to visit this place
The place is probably not bad, but the kitchen and service are not even up to 1 star. The waiters - two elderly women are clearly not coping, the service is sooooo slow. We took the menu and in 15 minutes they didn't come up to us, we caught the waitress at the next table - so we managed to make an order. After about 20 minutes, we asked to bring us at least drinks from our order right away. In the kitchen:
1. "Caesar" with "salmon" 300 gr. - a mountain of Peking cabbage together with a hard head, a tomato cut into 4 parts, a few crackers and fish (definitely not salmon!) externally, it looks like 20-30 grams of ketu with thin plates, a little cheese. I tried to stir, but there was nothing else inside the mountain of cabbage, I immediately refused this salad.
2. A frying pan with chicken, mushrooms and potatoes is a white fatty slurry, in which there are several small pieces of chicken and even smaller pieces of mushrooms (there is a photo in the review above), 6 slices of potatoes of the rustic type.
The bill immediately includes 10% of the receipt for "service"...not surprising)) for such a disgusting cuisine and service, hardly anyone wants to voluntarily leave a tip. If you immediately include tips in the bill, then at least you would teach the waiters the rules of service, at least serve drinks while waiting for dishes.
Lesnaya Polyana is a miracle of miracles!!!! Everything is here for 5+!!! I advise everyone to visit this sanatorium!!! I wish you all a good rest and treatment!!!!
They cook delicious. I liked the boats, coffee on the sand. The portions are large. Inside as a dining room, on the street the same dishes, but already as a cafe, and this is + 10% for service
To be honest, we didn't like the place. We ordered a hot frying pan (chicken, mushrooms, cheese, cream) to taste very good, but they poured a lot of oil on top and it became simply impossible to eat. Beans with nuts of the island, overdone with coriander, also did not like it. The compote was available only from feijoa, it did not taste good. Well, vegetable salad is also a vegetable salad in Africa.
But the boat from the oven is just great, probably the most delicious of those that we tried here. The service is fast, the waitress is not too friendly
In general, the impression is twofold, the prices are acceptable, the atmosphere is pleasant, but the kitchen is not impressed
10% to the bill for compulsory service - there is nothing to pay for, but since the compulsory order, it is necessary. Moreover, 10% where indicated- did not see. Abkhazian waitresses have never been able to be friendly staff, and in this cafe
- no exception.
The cafe is dirty, the tables are shaky.
I didn't really like the food - the egg boat is delicious only because hot yeast dough can't be tasteless, but cheese with an incomprehensible taste that can be mistaken for raw dough.
The local soup was served with stringy meat - it is impossible to eat.
The national cuisine is on top here!!! They cook with a soul!!! The boats are the best in Abkhazia! The service is a little slow, but in general, visiting this institution does not spoil. And they will smile, and advise, and fulfill requests. One disadvantage is that they smoke right in the dining area((
Everything is delicious and the prices for something are the cheapest! For example, a tourist's lunch is only 240 rubles, but you get full of it! And the ice cream is only 30 rubles local)
In the afternoon there is a dining room with the usual set of dishes. Cafe in the evening. There is no barrier, 8 tables on the roadway, pedestrians are walking right through the cafe. The dishes are neither bad nor good. By evening, there was not much on the menu
I recommend. Very tasty khachapuri, the rest of the menu is also on fire. Cozy, fast, hospitable. Huge portions, reasonable prices. The place is popular, sometimes it can be difficult to sit down.
08/14/2013 we were at this institution. We ordered egg boats. The boats were brought burnt. They brought me a boat with a burnt top . My mother did not finish the burnt boat from above and below and was extremely upset with this institution and the Abkhazian hospitality. The waiter asked if she liked the food or not. To our remark about the burnt boats, she kept silent, left the bill for payment and left. There were no apologies, etc. I'm JUST terribly impressed with Abkhazia.
We were all family. They cook delicious, we all liked it.The cripples who work in this cafe are also doing their best. Next to the canteen of the same company, We usually had lunch there after the sea . Thank you all .I recommend.
It doesn't look bad. Even the grub turned out to be delicious. Classic boats are delicious. BUT, as everywhere in Abkhazia, behind the smiles and fake goodwill, hatred and malice towards all strangers are visible. While eating with the children, I watched the scene, as a man who did not see that on the menu, it is written in small print that the bill automatically includes a mark-up for service, tried to challenge the mark-up - he was publicly insulted and threatened in the hall, and with all this with an admixture of "you Russians are completely fucked up." Sadly. And so it is almost everywhere in Abkhazia - there is 0 service - but everywhere they require money.
The waitress is not happy with the visitors at all, the borscht cooled down while waiting for the pita bread, which we did not want to cook at all. Orders on the tables are confused, tea was generally brought in 45 minutes, although it was ordered immediately. The price is acceptable, but I won't go a second time
a place where you can gather a large company and have a good time, the staff is sensitive and polite.
everything is very tasty the average check for a family of 3 people is 1000 rubles
The impression is ambiguous from visiting this institution. The menu is not too rich, the waitress does not show much zeal, apparently because 10% of the service is already included in the bill, but there is no desire to go in with this attitude, although the food is not bad, and I would even recommend "meat with eggplant from the toastmaster", as well as hot pita bread. Payment is only in cash, the prices are average. Curiously, the main part of the cafe is located in a rather gloomy room, which still needs to be reached along a long corridor from the street, or treated next to the roadway on shaky tables.
A wonderful cafe with a good assortment of food near the market, it is well known by the locals. It is very tasty and cozy, keep in mind that the service is 10%
I recommend it 100%!We lived in Sukhum, the cafe is located right next to the market.They cook very tasty, the locals go there to relax and eat..therefore, the cafe is not expensive.And what delicious khachapuri boats are there, you can swallow your tongue.Huge in size, there is a lot of cheese and it costs only 130r .. in new Athos, for example, a small boat 250r..the portions are large and everything is very tasty..I recommend it!
We went to a cafe on the advice of local residents. The food is good, the atmosphere is calm and pleasant. It is not a tourist place, so the prices are very, very reasonable. The place is great! I definitely recommend you to visit!!
A nice cozy restaurant near the city market, delicious food, at very affordable prices, delicious homemade wine.
The disadvantages are the relatively meager menu.
