Cafe Abaata is an institution with a non-permanent kitchen and a bar (for me, it's still a good cafe rather than a restaurant). However, we visit it regularly due to its authenticity, geographical location, proximity to attractions and the possibility of parking. By the way, the first acquaintance (a few years ago) was extremely unsuccessful... the khachapur that we were presented with is still in my gallery... imagine if this would be the first experience of acquaintance with an Abkhazian dish for someone:) There was a fairly positive experience of regular, three meals a day with children in view of staying in the hotel of the same name. When we visit on occasion, we most often order Oriental dishes: pilaf, fried khinkali, lagman, they have never failed us yet) Teas and lemonades are dancing in quality, sometimes we refused to include mountain drinks in the bill. An interesting choice of seating options: outdoors, in a stone hall with massive furniture, a fireplace and animal skins, on the second floor with the possibility of seating on carpets, pillows and sofas. Payment in cash or by transfer, service fee is not included in the bill. The price tag is acceptable. Despite the shortcomings, I recommend Abaatu to visit)

The restaurant is conveniently located, everything is beautiful inside, very cozy, there is a fireplace. There were a lot of people, we waited a long time for the order. I didn't like the food. We ordered khinkali with cheese and meat, chebureks, there is no meat in the chebureks, there was no juice in the khinkali. The compote was delicious. There is no payment by card, and I am not willing to transfer either. Take the cash. They didn't say in advance that there was no card payment.

A good place with delicious cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere in Gagra. We tried a warm salad, cheburek, khinkali, and had breakfast once too. There is a large territory, a lot of seating in the establishment itself and on the street there are tables. The waitresses are nice and friendly. Quick feed. They don't charge 10% for the service, which is rare in Abkhazia. We were pleased with Abbata's visit.

A great place for a cozy evening. Just go to the second floor right away, you'll be like a hedgehog in the fog below from the barbecue) The cuisine is very tasty, the Abkhaz-style hodgepodge and khachapuri are simply magical. Everyone orders khinkali (fried and classic) from mutton and veal, I really liked it. Manti - too much cumin, but the meat is chopped as needed. Overall, a pleasant impression, polite and not indifferent staff.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff and great views. We visited the establishment for an early breakfast, arrived at 8 a.m., there were few people. Despite the fact that I did not find the breakfast menu either on the website or on Instagram, it is there, and the selection is quite large) Prices are at the level of Sochi, but not restaurants, but coffee shops, with an average of 500-900 rubles per dish. We tried poached eggs on bruschetta, healthy breakfast, shakshuka and coffee: all the dishes were successful! If you want to have breakfast on the territory of the hotel itself, you need to choose a Bistro, not a restaurant, but there is a simpler choice of dishes and there were much more people)

It's a very cool place for Abkhazia. Excellent service, interior, interesting menu. The only food I didn't really like was the slicing in vitello tonnato - the slices are too thick, which makes it difficult to chew. Okroshka fire. A warm salad is a huge portion. Bruschetta is normal, it tastes fine. We had crepe suzette for dessert - the portion was large, it was very tasty. The lemonades are good. I recommend the place.

We took different seafood dishes: mutton-apparently we got into spoiled deep-fried oil, squid-rubber, seafood pan-on the tooth, all the dishes are filled with a kind of sauce similar to heavy cream, in general, we were disappointed, the only one who was pleased was a nice girl waiter, told a lot of interesting things, and that's it. The place itself looks beautiful.

We visited restaurants in different places of Abkhazia and the Abaata caused the worst emotions! The food is delicious, the dishes look very appetizing, the chef is an excellent cook, special thanks to him! About the service, we can say separately - we were served by a waiter with a badge, Peter, well, a very unpleasant waiter, no smile, politeness does not know what it is from the word at all, besides, he turned out to be a Russophobe, started topics with the guests about politics, what is forbidden to do according to ethics, argued with the guests!!! If If you decide to visit this restaurant, be careful in advance!

The coolest restaurant in Gagra and in the vicinity! We come on vacation 2 times a year since 2019 and we only go here to eat with the whole big family! There are always very tasty dishes, as well as delicious drinks. Their own homemade lemonades and liver with korduk (this is the only place on the entire south coast where they cook this and it is very very tasty) This is a separate kind of love🤤 There are always very cool and professional staff, and special thanks to the chefs, who always cook so well. Very pleasant atmosphere, beautiful view. We come with a mini York, they will always offer a separate chair and water for the dog.

We visited Abaat's restaurant during our trip to Abkhazia and were absolutely delighted! From the very first minutes, I was struck by the warm welcome and attentive attitude of the staff. The waiters are polite, friendly and always ready to help with the choice of dishes, tell you about the ingredients and advise you on something to taste. The kitchen is a separate story. Everything we tried was incredibly delicious: fresh produce, a delicate balance of spices and an interesting presentation that only enhanced the impression. I especially liked the dishes of the national cuisine — I feel respect for the traditions and the skill of the chefs. The atmosphere is cozy, calm, ideal for a leisurely dinner, and for meeting friends. It is clear that they really take care of the guests here and try to make every visit special.

I would also like to mention the excellent musical accompaniment. We found jazz musicians, and then a vocalist with a restrained repertoire that creates a wonderful atmosphere. We recommend it!

At the end of our vacation in Abkhazia, we decided to visit Abaat's teahouse. And they regretted it.... We regretted that we did not come here earlier !!! Although we lived very close to this delicious place. A varied menu, fast food delivery, everything that was ordered: pork and chicken shish kebab, borscht, noodle soup, French fries and rustic, grilled liver, salad and Thai salad, coffee (simply the best in Abkhazia), honey cake - everything is VERY tasty! I definitely recommend visiting this place!

It's just a delight! I'll tell you now in order. We came from Pitsunda, it was our wedding anniversary. It so happened that the hotel guests were still eating dinner, approached the hostess, found out where they could sit down, said choose a place where you like and sit down. We chose a place, the menu was brought to us, the waitress came up almost immediately, we asked to wait a little because we hadn't chosen yet. After a few minutes, the order was made, the waitress duplicated the order, clarified in what order to serve the dishes (for Abkhazia, this is nonsense) . Now for the kitchen: I liked everything. Shrimp salad, baked camembert, bruschetta with salmon (salmon is as tender as if I salted it myself), rooster in wine, and of course an incomparable dessert - pear! Chef Andre went out to the guests several times, talked, it was very pleasant. According to the bar, the bartender knows his job perfectly, the pina colada was just right, balanced in sweetness. The waitress was helpful and took great care of us. It was the first time I tasted so good in Abkhazia. Thanks to the Abaat restaurant for raising the prestige of your country with such delicious food.

Onion soup, seafood pasta and many other delicious dishes have disappeared from the menu, and instead there are dishes like Tom Yam soup, which are already sold in every eatery.

We visited all the restaurants in Staraya Gagra and this one turned out to be the worst - we didn't like the service, the cuisine and the price tag went twice as high. We ordered a salad with crispy eggplant (terrible), tobacco chicken (excellent), trout could not be cooked (burned) and offered salmon instead, which is three times more expensive, but we forgot to warn about it. The place is generally beautiful and atmospheric, but the kitchen has not gone in.

Abaat's restaurant is delicious and without rotovirus! The chef of the restaurant is Andre Martin (he cooked for Nicolas Sarkozy, Mireille Mathieu, Philip Kirkorov). We ate only in this restaurant for 2 weeks of living in Staraya Gagra in September 2024, sometimes we went to other equally pretentious places. However, Abaat's restaurant is the best in Abkhazia! I decided to try mushrooms here for the first time. There is an unsurpassed duck buffet, chicken pate, desserts, sturgeon and humpback kebab and much more. In 2 weeks, we tried almost all the menus together with my wife. In the evening after 19:00-20:00 there is live music in the restaurant: female vocals. The audience is very pleasant, there are almost no flies, the air conditioner is working. I celebrated my 36th birthday at the Abaat restaurant in Gagra and all the food was very tasty! Payment is only in cash or by transfer. Non-guests of the Abaat hotel can come for a buffet breakfast for 600 rubles per person and for 1200 for dinner.

The service is good, the food is delicious. But the portions are small. So many grams have been written, but in fact much less. But on the other hand, it's a plus to try to overeat. The fide with chicken and cheese was excellent. I didn't have time to capture it, it ended instantly. Will I come again? Not a fact. There are places in Gagra where everything is more dignified.

A wonderful restaurant. Probably the best in Gagra. Chef Andre cooks at the highest level. The dishes are very tasty, the serving is beautiful and fast. Also, the chef himself is often in the hall and controls the serving of dishes. We had dinner at this restaurant 2 times. Dinner is organized in a buffet style. Each dish is balanced with the rest. Starting from salads and ending with desserts. Everything is very tasty and constantly replenished. In the evening, there is always live music, and at a pleasant volume, and not like in cheap cafes - at full power of all speakers. Thanks to the restaurant for such a pleasant experience. Guests of the hotel of the same name, which is located there in a single complex, also eat in the restaurant. In the morning and evening during the season, there may be a lot of people in the restaurant because of this. It is necessary to take this into account if you want to sit there.

We decided not to visit a teahouse, but an Italian restaurant. A good interior for Abkhazia, clean, there are not many people, as prices are high compared to local cafes. But in general, as in Sochi, it is not more expensive. Drinks are not expensive, our bill was at about 4700, I won't say for sure, since cash payment (cards are not accepted). We ordered lemonade, classic, moderately sour and sweet, everything is balanced. Filet mignon with a vegetable side dish, the meat is soft, it sulks well, salt and pepper are enough, the vegetables are delicious, diced with Demi glasse sauce. The meat is good. Caesar with chicken, with a good sauce (not mayonnaise with garlic) the chicken is juicy and tender, the only question is about balsamic cream as an ornament. The noodles are straight homemade, the broth is rich, rich in taste, the noodles look homemade, the children do not eat dill, but he was there, I put the noodles perfectly, I had to feed the children). Asparagus, well, the asparagus in the photo will do, but it is clearly frozen, overcooked and too small. The potato gratin was quite a success, the potatoes are not crispy, completely ready, sliced thinly, a lot of cheese, salt and spices are enough. The camembert with croutons is very tasty, the cheese is tender, the noble mold on the crust is moderately felt, the texture is excellent inside, the cheese is gorgeous. In general, the place is worth a visit, not a delight, but good. A dark-skinned kid in a chef's jacket walks in the hall. I think he's more for entertainment than the boss.

The restaurant only accepts cash (tax officials, are you there?) They don't warn you in advance that they don't accept bank cards. Despite our willingness to meet them halfway and pay by transfer, we received: 1) rude rejection and rolling eyes from a female employee dressed in an inappropriate bright tracksuit (the staff did not seem to have heard of the drecode) 2) aggression and hysteria from the waiter The staff believes that the restaurant should not warn that they do not accept bank cards. The waiter was indignant that, on the contrary, establishments should indicate on the doors that payment is possible except in cash huh)) Total: Completely ruined the mood and impressions. Staff courtesy 0/10, customer orientation 0/10 PS: there are no complaints about the food and interior, the cook was great, everything was delicious

It is also the best restaurant in old and new Gagra. Live music in the evening, generally excellent musical accompaniment, an island of Europe and civility, there are very expensive dishes, and there are quite affordable and earthly ones. The quality is high. Chateaubriand was amazing. A drunken pear (in wine) is gorgeous. The golden ear is divine. But a minus star for the poor work of the waiters. They were much slower than in the neighboring Teahouse. They are not quick-witted or efficient. And I absolutely did not like the tartar made of avocado, tomatoes and scallops. Okay, it was very little for a huge plate, so also the price is like Chateaubriand's. 1300 is almost and quite, well, quite tasteless. I was very disappointed and hungry. The only thing that calmed me down was a drunken pear and a Cloud shot)

The place does not leave a good impression of the word at all, the price tag is not cheap. The food, to put it mildly, is difficult to call food, we ordered pasta balaneza, a small portion of pasta of terrible quality in a chowder like tomato, there was no meat from the word at all. Cheese? Should he be there? He wasn't there, they turned around and left They didn't even warn you at the entrance that you only accept cash, it's good that the girl allowed you to transfer money to her card... there wasn't even any warning about it.

The restaurant is located in the hotel of the same name. It was free in the evening, we were put in without an appointment. There are no complaints about food and drinks. Probably the only thing that confused me was that the buffet from the hotel is located in the same restaurant, and when tourists come from the hotel for dinner, the feeling of being in the restaurant spoils. The atmosphere of the canteen appears, but perhaps this does not bother someone, either come at another time, or you can choose tables outside. After 19 there was live music, the girl sang beautifully. There is no birthday compliment, this is not a minus, but just a fact. Very tasty chacha.

We go to Gagra several times a year, and we often visit the Abbot's restaurant. It always seemed to be fine, but not this time.. We visited in early March 2025, and we placed an order, including beluga and flounder. A lot of flounder is sold fresh, but they brought us fish after defrosting, moreover, a piece of tail with one bone. The beluga was smelly after defrosting, with a rancid taste, I thought I wouldn't survive the rest of the day, terrible belching and heartburn with fish, I never have heartburn at all, this was the first time. For such a price, one could try to serve normal dishes. It's not a pity for the money, it's a pity for the spoiled mood and health. They didn't make any claims, they didn't want to spoil their evening, it was an anniversary. Never set foot in this restaurant again. Oh, by the way, there's an Araucaria restaurant nearby, everything is always great, it's a pity that it only works during the season, from May to October, so I definitely recommend it, it's delicious, and the price tag is lower.

We were in April 2024, passing through, we stopped by only for lunch, unfortunately, I can't praise the kitchen, I didn't like it, borscht - a lot of vinegar, it was sour, potatoes were cut into huge chunks (half a potato), beets, like other vegetables, are few, and meat 2 tiny pieces, khinkali too I did not like it, there is a lot of dough and not enough meat. Dogwood compote is delicious! By the way, there were many items missing from the menu. Prices are high, in Moscow it is cheaper to eat in a good restaurant. The interior is interesting, like a medieval one - these are the halls indoors, we were outside - it would be possible to change the upholstery. The latch didn't work in the toilet. Special thanks to the waiter who served us, attentive, positive and executive.
