Good day!
I often visit cafes and restaurants around the world and I know a lot about the restaurant business.
I always pay attention to the management and staff of a particular institution where I spend my time.
My wife and I decided to go to the cool Veranda cafe on the Black Sea coast in Gudauta.A girl greeted us with a smile and offered us a table to choose from!That's IT!!!
We ordered milk oolong, lemonade and beer, which are served within 5-10 minutes according to standards.We ordered a hookah.
The drinks were brought to us in 20-25 minutes, the hookah maker was not found and they sent us a BARBECUE MAN with mats!!!The poor guy was all red and angry, because he doesn't even smoke, not what a hookah does.
Result:I asked for the bill.The girl specified whether by card or in cash, but then said only by transfer by number.When asked to call the manager or manager, the girl brought the terminal and said that it was working.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR RECREATION IN Gudauta!!!
TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS, I WILL CITE THIS CAFE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TURN A NICE IDEA WITH A VERANDA INTO A DINER NEAR THE SEA.
IT'S A PITY!
The view is beautiful, that's all the advantages. The service is very slow, although even half of the tables were not occupied during the day. My wife poisoned herself with caesar and shrimp. If you do not take seafood, then maybe for the sake of photos you can go in (or drink coffee).
It's a great place, almost all the seats are occupied, especially on the veranda overlooking the sea. The food is very tasty, but I would like Caucasian cuisine there.
We were with the children at this institution, everything is delicious and healthy, but there is a big but. A few hours later, our children started vomiting French fries and pizza from this institution, thereby spoiling the whole vacation.
Delicious. Expensive. Long. For a very long time. Even in the morning, when 2-3 menu tables are set, you can wait 15 minutes, then wait for the waiter to take the order, then the waiting time for dishes can be endless and it also happened during the cooking process that something is missing and you have to re
-order 😨
We had delicious food last year, but hookah solves everything around smoking hookah smoke it is impossible to sit too.
We decided to go in this year, the hookah remained, the food was so-so, it got worse and the price tag was just a distribution.
If you want to smoke a hookah pipe, it's a great place if you want to have a delicious meal with your family, there's nothing to do there.
We went to have dinner on the Veranda, completely by accident ....
We ate very tasty, the service is at the highest level, special thanks to the waitress Victoria
An excellent institution in Gudauta, pleasant live music, quite tasty food (considering that this is a problem in the city in my opinion) The location on the embankment with a beautiful view of the sea overshadows minor shoals in service, and gives a reason to return to this place again and again.
Very tasty shish kebab and many other dishes, only a portion of cream soup they obviously do not have 300g. The waiters can barely do their job, as if they were in their own world at all. While you wait for drinks, you will die of thirst, the same with the payment, it will take a lot of time until the bill is brought, but it's not bad.
The best restaurant in Gudauta, a varied menu, pleasant service. Beautiful sea view, location right on the beach. It is better to book tables for the evening in advance, because you can come in the evening and not sit on the veranda itself. The price tag is average.
We stopped by in the afternoon to have a snack. I ordered a pizza for the children, 4 cheeses are very tasty: the dough is thin, so delicious that the children asked for more. We ate Arab shawarma with my husband. We really liked it, I haven't seen such a delicious sauce for a long time. The interior is beautiful, with a pleasant view of the Black Sea. The lemonade is delicious. It is pleasant to be there, with a full landing, the waiting time is not fast
We kindly ask the management to add a note that there is a hookah in this institution!
Hookah 10/10 , just fire !
Beautiful presentation and delicious dishes, we recommend it!
A gorgeous cafe! The helpful hostess, Nona, always found a place for us. Delicious mussels, good local wine, chocolate dessert with coconut from the chef is super. And most importantly - cool live music! The vocals are wonderful and a very harmonious ensemble, the musicians will not disappoint 👍 a beautiful panoramic view of the sea from any table (summer veranda).
Book places especially for concert evenings in advance ☝️
If you are going to this place, take forks with you!)) The family visited this place last night. The atmosphere is interesting, an open veranda, tables outside and a closed veranda (there is no balcony, windows are exposed, there is no hiding from the heat). There are a lot of people, hectic waiters. Other people's dishes were brought three times))). We ordered Caesar salad (delicious), carbonate (delicious), pork with vegetables in a frying pan (my husband said the potatoes were there as if yesterday, and so are the norms). Instead of 3 forks, 2 were brought. When asked to bring another one, the waitress said, "I'm straining with the wolves, let me bring a spoon")))).... To carbonara.... A spoon)))) We laughed for a long time and waited for a long time. They took the chacha, did not drink it, returned it, it smells worse than grandpa's braga. There was no bottled beer, they took different (very "Different"). The peach milk cocktail is the most common. The result is 4 for food, 3 for service.
It's an interesting place, there are always a lot of people, and that says something. A varied menu, pizza is very tasty, tea. Some dishes had to wait.
The place is pleasant, but I couldn't eat. We arrived at 9:30, it turned out that they were not working yet. I corrected in the maps that the work starts at 10 a.m. At 10:05 a.m. they came up to us and said that they would be able to take the order only in 15 minutes, another 20 minutes for cooking. I wanted to have breakfast with the children :(But it didn't take that long. It's a pity they didn't warn us sooner
We were at the Veranda restaurant today. There are no places (evening ~ 20.00) in the open, those that are all booked. We sat down in another part of the restaurant, in a house with upholstered sofas. It is very cozy, the menu is varied, more European dishes, the portions are good.
But now the cons:
Everything is VERY greasy, salty
We ordered pasta carbonara (a lot of fatty sauce, the pasta floated), a boat, a salad with warm eggplant in breadcrumbs (the salad "floated" in a fatty sauce) and finally French fries, which turned out to be very salty!
We are not happy with the food, but the atmosphere and the view are beautiful.

It's great to sit in the evening, sea view, European menu, for those who are tired of boats and kebabs. In the season, the main thing is to have time to book a table for the evening. In the off-season, it is advisable to bring warming clothes with you.
I recommend everyone to visit this cafe. It's very tasty, the portions are large, the friendly staff, in the evening, when it's cool, they give blankets, well, the very name of the cafe suggests that the views of the sea are worth it.
Very very very tasty!!! The staff is simply incomparable, many thanks to Lila, Madina and Dmitry for the service, very responsive and kind people. The food is top notch, as is the service. We have been here four times and were very satisfied!!!!
Great cafe. Very tasty. Wonderful jazz in the evenings in a live performance. The staff is friendly. Especially thanks to the head of Nona for her customer orientation and the bartender Kristina. But there is a BUT! Even Moscow cafes are more expensive! And the pipe from the kitchen goes directly into the sea, which ruined the beach. There is a smell from the water of food waste. Previously, we swam only on the Veranda beach. Now we go to the Zamostyanka.
Great place, very tasty. Many thanks to the staff for the fast and high-quality service. Both children and adults liked everything. The portions are large, the price corresponds to the quality. I recommend.
Nice view from the veranda, delicious mussels and cheese, good wine.
I did not like the service at all, the guests have absolutely no interest, neither hello nor goodbye.
A cult place in Gudauta, a gorgeous view, delicious food, there are little things, but these are little things... Cocktails are at the highest level, mojitos are just a bomb. Everything is cool. Thank you.
The location is great. The food was for three, they took a chicken kebab, the children did not eat. They took it with them, threw it out in the morning, the smell was disgusting, the meat was spoiled. Khachapur is excellent, caesar is not very good, hinkal is boiled.
Today we visited the veranda cafe, there was a full boarding after 20:00, there was a place for us, they put us at the entrance to the restaurant, ordered shish kebab, French fries and drinks, the institution itself had a good place, pleasant live music, food for 3 the shish kebab was with veins and the French fries inside were soft as mashed potatoes, drinks on three is chacha, juice, cola, beer and Bacardi rum, almost everything is normal except rum, they brought not rum but vodka for the smell, and they assured that they had just opened rum, went to the bar and the same smell from a bottle of vodka))) moreover, they themselves were surprised that the smell of vodka, of course, I refused such a strange drink, the waiters treated it without problems, offered something in return, the beer seemed watery, the service for 4 + and that three
A very pleasant place. Delicious food from a sufficient menu. However, there is one problem: The waiters are not always friendly. It is rare for anyone to greet a guest at the entrance, and when serving, it happens that an employee does not even look at you. This is probably the only negative
We were in this cafe on 08/12/2023. I didn't like the word at all. There are no complaints about the food, the order was served quite quickly. BUT the service is of course... The waiter generally seems to be flying, she went somewhere and disappeared, I had to go look for her myself and contact the administration to be called. And that's only half the trouble. The most disturbing thing is that on the territory of the BEACH, which is no longer included in the territory of the cafe, they shoot at dogs that lie and absolutely do not touch anyone, they do not approach people, only if you approach them yourself. On the territory of the cafe, animals are beaten with a stick and kicked. The whole impression of the cafe was spoiled by this picture, which we saw and heard every day while on the beach!
I had a rest in Gudauta in early September. I liked the "Veranda" very much for its location: an open hall with a view of the sea, there is a glazed hall, several tents, tables on the embankment. But, of course, it's better to choose the main hall, because there are awesome musicians with a luxurious repertoire almost every evening! It is clear that these are professionals! I almost fell in love with their charismatic drummer)) We enjoyed it... The atmosphere is very cozy. If it's chilly, you can ask for blankets. The serving of the dishes is fast enough. The portions are not small. Everything we ate was delicious: fried cheese with strawberry jam, cauliflower with cheese... I really liked the chocolate fondue. Prices, of course, are more expensive than in the dining room, but everyone decides what to choose... The waitresses who served us - Diana and Nina - are very nice girls: not a single rude or disparaging word. Good girls! I will miss Gudauta and the Veranda. And I recommend it to everyone! And there will always be dissatisfied, no one has canceled the human factor yet...
Modern, fast, delicious. There is something to feed the children. The waiters run like the wind. It is perfectly located. The view is above all praise, the aunt and the sea breeze. Great place!
One of the best places for beauty and cuisine in Gudauta. They accept cards for payment. Prices are rewritten very quickly. Practical there is nothing cheaper on the menu than 500 rubles
The best place in Gudauta. Great view and delicious food. The best are Victoria the waiter (with dark hair), Nina the bartender.
Here you can order food with you to the sea.
The best dessert is chocolate fondue.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
A wonderful cafe, good service, everything that was ordered was delicious) I was looking for bumble, I found it only here)) The prices are not cheap, but adequate.
The price is too high, does not correspond to the supply and service. The quality of the food is three-fold. I ate chicken noodle soup, the broth was diluted. beef salad, warm, too much with coriander.
The cafe is great, we thought we would starve to death. When they land, they turn on the handbrake and communicate rudely, but that's not the main thing. Farel is dry, like kebabs, my son cooks better in his 10 years. Who gave them the right to cook something.
The most terrible place I've ever been in all my 34 years of life.
Moreover, if there are minimal complaints about the kitchen, then there are so many questions about the service that I would like to discuss them not with the administrator of the institution, but with the management!
We got (on our head) Roman the waiter, who ran past our table with a wildly preoccupied look, showing with all his appearance that he did not need to be called, things were going through the roof without us. However, after coping with this awkward moment and suppressing a sense of guilt, we nevertheless turned Roman's gaze to our humble persons so that he would accept our order. Roman started to issue a system failure immediately, reported only 20 minutes later that one of the hot menu items ordered by us was in the stack. We follow further. The serving of the dishes was incorrect: first, snacks were PARTIALLY served, after that it was also PARTIALLY hot - so that some of the guests at our table sat slurping, watching others eat.
Next, Roman was asked which of the pork positions to choose, he of course advised the most expensive, which in fact turned out not to be chewy. To this misunderstanding, we called Roman, who, with an absolutely imperturbable look, said: oh, try another piece, you just got such a wiry one.…
When ordering a salmon steak, Roman did not specify the final yield by weight of this dish and only after receiving the receipt, when everything was eaten, we learned that the weight of each steak was allegedly 320 grams, which was also CLEARLY not true, but we could not verify this, to our great regret, otherwise this fish would have gone straight Back to the kitchen at the expense of our disrespectful Romance!
I will not describe the leapfrog of serving sauces, snacks and pita bread to meat (all this was served at the very end, when the meat was already eaten)..
The chocolate fondue for the child, which we ordered at the very beginning, was not served even after 1.5 hours of our stay in this institution. Having clarified the degree of readiness of Roman's dessert, we were convinced that everything would be served soon, however, according to the rolled-up scenario, half an hour after this dialogue, he informed us that the dessert had just begun to cook, suggesting
that it should be abandoned. We ask you to bring an invoice, upon examination of which it turns out that Roman, counting on a visiting sucker, included 2 extra items from the hot menu that we did not order. Well, purely by chance, as he explained to us later ... in short, the impressions of the institution are the most terrible. We wanted to have a good time, but in the end we left in complete indignation and with the feeling that we were doused with a tub of slop. I wish this institution to pay more attention to what the staff is doing and respect its guests. I strongly do not recommend anyone to visit at the moment, if you do not want to spoil your impression of your vacation.
Delicious! The service is at a good level. Prices are above the average in Abkhazia. But the price matches the quality. There have been several times. We advised everyone we know. If you want to come in the evening during the season, it is better to book a table.
At first I liked everything, delicious cuisine, normal service, it was a bit long to wait, but the cafe was loaded, so it was tolerable.
After dinner on the veranda, at first I started vomiting with diarrhea, and in the morning a girl joined me, who ate only salad.
