TOP 10 best cafes and restaurants in Yalta

Compiling a rating of the best cafes and restaurants in Yalta, we were guided by several important criteria: culinary skills, level of service, original interior and good location. Trying to take into account the interests of all vacationers, we have included in our TOP-10 both expensive "pathos" establishments located on the most prestigious embankment of the city, and more democratic catering points where you can have a quick bite or a cup of coffee in between walks.

10 Dining at home

The most affordable in terms of food prices, but, at the same time, very comfortable "Home-style Dining Room" is the best option for eating a budget-conscious tourist. Enterprises under this name are open in several cities of Crimea. There are 3 dining chains in Yalta, but one of the most favorite is the establishment located on the Lenin embankment. You will not find exotic delicacies on the menu. However, a large selection of soups, side dishes, cutlets, salads and fresh dairy products with the usual taste "like a grandmother's" will safely satisfy both adults and little travelers.At the same time, the range is constantly updated with new recipes. A full three-course dinner plus dessert will cost about 500 rubles.

Strong alcohol is not sold in the dining room, but foam lovers can treat themselves to a glass of draft beer. An invariable advantage can also be called a beautiful view of the sea, which opens from the windows of the establishment. A clean room and friendly service add positive points to the reputation of this restaurant, making it more and more popular among Yalta residents and city guests. Opening hours - from 9.00 to 21.00.

9 KOFEiN

Quite a miniature, but very cozy cafe on the street. Pushkinskaya is familiar to most holidaymakers in Yalta. Judging by the reviews, many tourists prefer to start their day here by ordering an airy omelette, hearty pancakes or poached eggs for breakfast. And this, better than any words, is proved by the fact that the chefs at Caffeine know and love their job. Despite the fact that you can have a hearty meal here, the main specialization of the establishment is, of course, making coffee. The menu includes not only classic recipes for a fragrant drink, but also original cocktails with the addition of alcohol, parmesan cappuccino, sweet maple frappe and spicy ginger latte. For dessert, they offer signature coffee strudel, familiar from childhood "Napoleon", cheese cheesecake or diet carrot dessert.

The interior of the cafe is made in a brutal "African" style.Solid tables and chairs made of solid wood, unusual decor elements in the form of thematic drawings, multi-colored beads and colorful ornaments make the interior decoration so picturesque and original that you want to examine in detail every corner of a small hall. KOFEiN works from 9.00 to 22.00. The average bill here usually does not exceed the amount of 600-700 rubles.

8 Dacha Grill Cafe

Grill cafe "Dacha" positions itself as the best place in Yalta with the largest selection of grilled dishes. And, according to reviews of numerous visitors, this statement is fully true. The cozy interior in the style of a Russian chalet is conducive to a comfortable rest with a leisurely tasting of impressive portions of a rack of lamb or baked salmon, and quick service and competent work of waiters make the meal even more enjoyable. Of the alcohol, only cider and beer are represented here, but a wide variety of "country" drinks pleases - compotes, fruit drinks, lemonades and loose tea. If you wish, you can bring alcohol with you, subject to a surcharge (for details, contact the administrator).

The institution is located on the second line from the embankment, so it can be quite difficult for uninitiated tourists to find it. But, nevertheless, the place is very popular, and getting a free table there after 19.00 can be quite problematic. Most visitors during the day are families with children. In the evening, noisy groups of young people gather in the cafe, appreciating delicious food and good service.The average check per person here is about 500 rubles.

7 South Cafe

Unobtrusive laconic interior, lounge atmosphere, excellent service and stylish musical accompaniment have made the Southern Cafe one of the most popular in Yalta. Performances by well-known DJs and talented musicians turn an ordinary dinner in this place into a real cultural event, which is why South Cafe is so highly valued among creative youth. In addition to spiritual food, the location pleases with a completely worthy menu based on traditional recipes of European and American cuisine. Add to this original cocktails, a large selection of Chinese teas, a smoky hookah and other attributes of vacation relaxation, and you will understand why visitors love it so much.

Many native Yalta residents consider South Cafe a cult place in their city. In this, tourists who rest at the resort agree with them. In their reviews, travelers all, as one, praise the polite staff, large portions and the friendly atmosphere that reigns in the coffee shop. South Cafe is open 5 days a week, from 19:00 to 3:00. The hall is not too large, so on those evenings when special events are held in the cafe (concerts of famous performers or theme parties), it is advisable to book a table in advance.

6 The Last Supper

Walking through the Central Market of Yalta, many tourists pay attention to the picturesque graffiti on the wall, the plot of which repeats the famous fresco by Leonardo da Vinci "The Last Supper". The locals know that this is not just an original decoration. It is here that the restaurant of the same name is located, which is an incredibly lamp place with a cozy atmosphere and an unusual menu.

There are only 4 tables in the hall, so it is unlikely that a large company will be able to fully relax here. But for a snack while grocery shopping, The Last Supper is perfect. Reviews about the institution are entirely positive. Despite the low average bill (only about 500-800 rubles, which is very inexpensive for a resort tavern), the cuisine here pleases with the author's interpretation of popular dishes, which makes the usual food even more appetizing and attractive. Of the minuses, some visitors noted only the presence of an open kitchen, because of which the smell of cooking food is clearly felt in the room. But, in our opinion, this cannot be considered as a serious flaw, so we boldly award The Last Supper the title of the best restaurant in terms of price-quality ratio.

5 Grand-Cafe Orange

The catering chain "Orange" is represented in Yalta by three restaurants, which are interconnected by a single style and a similar gastronomic concept.Exquisite atmosphere, a large selection of Mediterranean dishes and, most importantly, favorable location in close proximity to the main tourist arteries of the city, contributed to the rapid growth in popularity of all establishments of this brand.

4 Seagull on the beach

The entertainment complex "Seagull on the Beach" is perhaps one of the most "incendiary" places in Yalta.
