Rassol'nik - Irkutsk

In any case, you come here for Russian food! The price is reasonable and I actually returned twice for Borscht. They also give you free bread with a sauce!

Really cool interior, fruendly staff and english menu's. Has a menu with delicious food from local farmers. Big portions as well.

Lovely ambiance and good food (with an English menu). I was lucky that there was violinist performing modern music, which I very much enjoyed. A bit surprised when they said they didn't accept credit card though, especially for a relatively upmarket place. Highly recommended

I visited the place 3 times within 2 weeks period with different friends and family at different times of a day. First visit: excellent food and fast service Second visit: limited options for kids and service was terribly long. I was very surprised compared to the first time. Third visit: excellent delicious food and fast service Overall the place is full of nostalgic USSR times and just the decor is worth applauding! My favourite was маринованнные грузди. In order to avoid long wait times, avoid lunch time/afternoon when it's full of tourists and come for dinner instead. Get one of the seats in the back with couches and enjoy old school Russian movies while tasting simple home feel dishes taste exquisite I will definitely come back.

Great location, unfortunately we had a very bad waiter. He tried to be „authentic“ but he was just lazy The food was ok, but not even close to original soviet food I was born in the USSR and raised there. I know that I’m talking about
