I read a lot of negative reviews and was honestly a little shocked, because I personally had positive impressions of this institution. By the way, I'm writing a couple of days later, and nothing has happened to my stomach. 02.01.2026 We were on a tour of Abkhazia, and they took us to eat at the Soyka cafe. I ordered Caucasian hodgepodge, hashlama and hominy with pickles. Everything was delicious, the pieces of meat were normal, they arrived quickly, I ate everything - I liked the food. The prices are certainly biting, I attach photos of some of the menu pages, otherwise I was satisfied. Maybe I was lucky, but my review is like this

Заезжали сюда поесть по "совету" гида после экскурсии, заказали плов и хашламу. Хашлама - просто суп, который готовят даже в любой столовой вкуснее, а плов - рисовая каша ничего общего с пловом не имеющая и ужасная на вкус, порция 200г за 500 рублей. Одна звезда за красивый вид, а еда здесь не вкусная. Ешьте где-нибудь в другом месте

We stopped by for lunch after an excursion to Lake Ritsa. Nicely.View of the river from the terrace and boxwood grove 👍 But😐 I only ate so badly when I was lying with poisoning in the Botkin hospital in St. Petersburg.🤕 Lamb pilaf - tough pieces of meat, apparently cooked separately, rice and carrots... But since I was on the tour bus in the morning, I had to eat. My daughter ordered trout royally... It sounds beautiful - it tastes a little better than a terrible pilaf... The garlic sauce saved the situation, without it they would hardly have been able to eat. And the appliances were brought in their hands, without any napkins or a kraft envelope... The price does not match the quality.

We stopped by with an excursion for lunch. There were a lot of groups, so we had to wait. An interesting, colorful place, boxwoods, terraces above the river! Beautiful! Many people write about tasteless food, I didn't notice. It's normal for a roadside cafe. We had the foresight to take a bottle of wine at the previous stop, maybe it brightened up the experience.

Like many people, I am surprised by the many negative reviews of this cafe. I suspect that either it is confused with the nearby establishment of the same name, but rather, judging by the extremely low levels of their authors, it looks more like an order. As for us, we were also here with a guide (not a local one), and we liked both the dishes and the service at reasonable prices. And as a bonus, there is a beautiful view of the river below, picturesque nature and excellent sculptural decoration of the establishment..

We were here, as were most of the visitors with a guided tour of the sights of Abkhazia. Well, what can I say, the place barely reaches 1 point. We were sitting at the end of the hall, so we couldn't see the beautiful view from this place, as many people write. Having been on the lookout for a "complimentary tea party with a bun" in advance, we decided to order simpler dishes for lunch that could not be spoiled, but we were unlucky here. We ordered two servings of chicken soup and a khachapuri boat. The liquid that was called soup was made from cheap boiled noodles, pieces of oak chicken that floated in oil! Cheap yellow carcinogenic oil. The khachapuri smelled unpleasant, apparently the cheese was cheap and not fresh. The dishes in this cafe deserve a separate item - they're covered in dirty stains and cracks. There's a dirty spoon in the shared sugar bowl. In general, I do not advise you to order anything here. We regret that we did not take sandwiches and tea on the tour, as we were hungry all day and suffered from heartburn (. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

A terrace with a very beautiful view of the river. There were no customers and the food arrived very quickly. It feels like it's been cooked for a long time and it's been warmed up a bit for us. It tastes disgusting. The first time I ate shish kebab, which sticks to my teeth like plasticine. The vegetable salad was like yesterday's, but they didn't eat it. The ear is cold and fresh. After that, it became clear why there was an empty parking lot when there was another restaurant just 300 meters away and the parking lot was completely full. Draw your own conclusions.

We stopped by on 03.01.2026 for dinner after the tour on the recommendation of the guide. The decor is expensive and rich, but expensive and not tasty. Poor service for which they charge 10%, so for example, they brought 3 mugs to a teapot with tea, and there were 4 visitors, but they brought compote that was not ordered. The worst institution in the whole of Abkhazia.

The guide brought us to this cafe on April 18: the food here is very tasteless. The lamb shish kebab was not chewed at all, and the meat in the pilaf was not chewed either. The cafe staff also messed up with orders, BE SURE TO CHECK THE COMPOSITION OF YOUR ORDER WHEN PAYING! Otherwise, the excess is attributed to you in the order, as it was with us. The service here is 20% off something. The only advantage of this establishment is its beautiful location. And nothing else

One star only for the location of this establishment with beautiful views! We were also given a guided tour. The service is long, the food is not fresh, warmed up. Not only did they want to feed rotten meat, but also a disgruntled rude guy at the checkout! I don't recommend it to anyone! There are really a lot of places on Lake Ritsa where you can have a delicious meal, it's a pity we didn't know this in advance!

The location is top, the views are very beautiful. but! Food is just a name. They wanted a lamb shish kebab, but the waitress warned them that it was tough. We ordered pork. You can't even call it a barbecue. The meat is tough, has no taste from the word at all. And this is a vaunted Caucasian barbecue. It's been a long time waiting for an order. This attitude of 1 institution spoils the overall impression of the whole country as a whole. If you came there with an excursion, you're out of luck. Limit yourself to a boat or khachapur. Do not order trout or shish kebab.

Yes, the views are beautiful, but the food just doesn't feel right. Homemade fried potatoes are raw pieces of potatoes deep-fried in oil. The inside is still raw, the outside is fat. Meat hodgepodge: it tastes like grub, there are no cucumbers or olives, zero sourness. Of the ordered tea, only the tea is normal. The food is terribly tasteless, I do not recommend it. In the photo, potatoes and pickle..

We stopped by for lunch during the tour with the whole group. I didn't eat anything there, on the advice of other visitors, I just ordered tea, I didn't ask for sugar, but they brought it, and I'm attaching a photo of the sugar bowl. Looking at the other tables, the food looked quite edible, the orders were just waiting a long time. I noticed that the waiter was carrying the dishes in his hand, holding the tray in parallel, it looked terrible. It is quite beautifully equipped inside and has a good view of the mountain river, gorge., only for this 2 stars In general, I do not recommend eating there.

We have been here twice: first we were brought for "breakfast", then we returned for lunch. Breakfast: tea and a bun. Lisma tea from a tea bag. The bun feels like the day before yesterday. Not fresh, but spiced, with raisins and sugar on top. The lunch is very, very tasteless. There was more or less a boat with an egg. The salad, borscht, kharcho, pasta, trout, and potatoes were disgusting. There was also meat in Abkhaz, too, normal, but in the end I came across a piece of sponge for dishes. I told the administrator about it. He said "Sorry" dryly and was not surprised at all and did not smooth out the moment in any way. The prices are high. Tip: if you are going on an excursion here, it's better to just take tea with khachapuri, the rest of the time, when everyone is still eating, take a picture against the background of boxwoods, rivers, sculptures. You can eat somewhere else. Don 't come here of your own free will !!!

While I'm lying with poisoning, I decided to write a few words about this institution. In short: an institution that feeds Guides for free and then, after calculating the profit, gives away a portion in front of everyone. In more detail: we took an excursion to Lake Ritsa, I thought that there would be no tastings on the way, but that was not the case. We arrived at the first point with wine, took nothing and did not taste. You should have seen the guide's face. When we arrived at the lake, the guide said that it was unsanitary, and then I'll take you to a better place. Good…. We arrive at this institution. A huge territory, 0 people. From food: Borscht is cabbage soup with huge chunks of tough meat Macaroni and cheese- probably the cook chewed and spit it back out. (Heavily overcooked) Meat in Abkhaz style is more or less, but the portion is small. Tangerine juice- water was simply added to the pulp, there was no taste. In general, I advise the raging visitors, if the guide insists on this establishment, you either ask for another place where it's crowded, or it's better not to order anything. I wish you a speedy closure, and I went for treatment after visiting this place.

It's just a very good location. Excellent design of the territory itself. The staff is very pleasant. I read the reviews and am very surprised that they write about food. There were 6 of us, everyone took different things and shish kebab, hominy, fish, solyanka and meat in Abkhazian and everyone was quite satisfied with the food. The prices are not budget, this is a fact. I will not write that it was the best barbecue in my life, but it is quite delicious like everything else. Take local dishes and you will not lose. And a meal with such a view, in principle, cannot be bad. We liked everything except the lack of Wi - Fi . More precisely, he is, but we only found out about it at the exit.

We were on a voluntary and compulsory tour. The service was disgusting, the table had to be wiped three times, it was useless. There's no barbecue. Hominy is white, with a taste of semolina, not corn. In khachapuri, the cheese was so over-dried that it was practically absorbed into the dough from the loaf. The pilaf (greasy from butter with one piece of meat) was brought in a tiny bowl, similar to a dog bowl. The only delicious dish is solyanka, but not classic, but reminiscent of goulash. Two stars for her and a gorgeous view of the river from the second floor

We were here only because of a tour of the Golden Ring of Abkhazia. It was a terrible place, expensive, tasteless, the service was disgusting, there was one waitress for all our 10 tables, and when the food arrived, it was brought to us last, but our group had already eaten, we had to quickly eat this "food" and run. I don't understand the guides who, instead of bringing their tourists to a delicious and beautiful place on Lake Ritsa!!! They brought me to this diner.

Today we visited the Soyka Cafe. Very beautiful surroundings. Boxwood trees, mountain river. And that's where all the positives ended....A guide took us here for "breakfast" and offered to order lunch right away. We ordered Hashlama (it turned out to be the most edible dish), hominy with "pickles" - whoever tries it for the first time will never want it again, pickles are cabbage in Georgian and that's it! And the bean sauce. On the whole, it's disgusting. Borscht is a soup unknown to us in Abkhazia))) We didn't eat anything in the end. Drinks include compote and cognac. They didn't drink anything from the word at all. They gave 2,700 for all this. I do not advise you to make an order even with a guide. Buy somewhere on your Face, you will have a lot of time there.

But I liked everything else: the gorgeous view from the window where we had lunch, the most beautiful view from the terrace (photo attached); I ordered hashlama (very tasty beef broth with delicious pieces of meat and vegetables), the trout was regally delicious, French salad, khachapur with cheese and tea - I paid 1800 rubles for everything. The territory of the cafe is well-groomed, fragrant boxwood blooms around.

I am sincerely surprised by such a large number of negative reviews. I did not plan to publish my impressions, but after reading the negative, I decided to write for the sake of justice We visited the cafe for the same reason as most tourists: the guide brings us for lunch after an excursion to the Ritz. I will omit the details of the tour - it's not about that. It is a very beautiful place, the territory is well maintained, the service is fast. The price tag, I think, is the lower limit of the average. I really, really liked the Caucasian solyanka. Honestly, I've never tried such a hodgepodge before (I note that I often order this soup in different places - I just love it) My husband ate grub, and was also satisfied. The vegetable salad is fresh and large. The egg boat is also not bad (we are not trying it for the first time) The trout on the grill turned out perfectly. At the end of lunch, we came to the conclusion that it was the most enjoyable part of the trip, apart from the magnificent views. I recommend the place.

A bowl of fish soup for 400 rubles includes water (not broth, just water), a whole potato (not chopped), a piece of trout, one ring of carrots and about the same size piece of bell pepper. Is it delicious? No. Is it worth it? No. It's better when you're given time to tour the ritz, eat something there. This establishment makes clients for itself purely by agreement with the guides.

The place is beautiful - 10 out of 10. But you won't get enough of one kind. Macaroni and cheese waited 30 minutes. As a result, they brought boiled ones, not all the children even began to eat. Aluminum devices. The pitch is poor. The royal trout consists of a "royal feed": half a cucumber and a tomato are sliced along the edges. Solyanka with tender meat, kharcho soup with bones. The biggest disappointment of the whole trip to the Ritz. He was recommended by the drivers of the minivan, where, as it turned out, they are fed for free.

The cafe is located among the most beautiful mountains along the route to Lake Ritsa. The place is wonderful. The owners of the cafe have wonderfully equipped the territory. Here, above the mountain river, there is a glass bridge: in front of the mountains , under the feet of the river - it is impossible to forget! Everything is beautiful: terraces , comfortable furniture , territory, gazebos ... But "meat in Abkhazian".... How can you spoil such a dish - I was surprised and the coffee is so-so..... But to walk around the territory, admire the trout fountain, walk along the glass bridge, breathe the boxwood air - it's worth stopping by.

We stopped at this cafe as part of a tour of Abkhazia in the hope of a delicious lunch in a hospitable atmosphere. Expectations were not fulfilled. At first, we were seated at uncomfortable long tables with narrow aisles between them. The order was accepted only ten minutes later. Then we reminded the waiters several times about our order. The waiters, of course, without any uniforms. After an hour of waiting, we received our order: tasteless pilaf with crumbled pieces of meat, tea in a dirty glass, more or less edible sleds and garlic sauce. Due to such a long service, our tour group was very late in this place. The price of the dishes is like in a good cafe, but without a single quality characteristic of a good cafe. Initially, a good impression of Abkhazia was greatly spoiled as a result of visiting this institution. I advise owners to think about it. For tourists who plan to visit this place after the Ritz, I recommend looking for a place to have lunch at the Ritz - at least there are options there.

Absolutely terrible kitchen. If an excessively high price can be somehow understood and justified, then the quality of the dishes defies any justification. For example, khachapuri costs 500 rubles for 200 grams, a very small portion. And for this money you will get tasteless dough and cheese of very poor quality. Meat in Abkhazian-it is stated that the portion weight is 300 grams, but it is far from the case) Pork is hard to spoil, but they did it. The meat is not tasty, with huge chunks of fat. The kebab was not bad, a solid three, but again the price will surprise you unpleasantly. Of the advantages, only the location is a very beautiful place, but on the other hand, where is it ugly in Abkhazia?) I want to note that the review is written on the basis of several visits. In general, if you are traveling in a group, ask the guide to take you to another place - spoiler: he will not agree. Among the guides, it is clearly distributed which places to "recommend" to tourists

I agree with most of the reviews - a beautiful place and a bad attitude towards tourists, apparently especially to those who are on tour, because they are practically force-fed there) But for such a beautiful place, the food and service don't pull at all. We had trout with vegetables-the baked tomatoes were obviously rotten, sour, i.e. they are fed with spoiled products, then you can not even say anything. This is the country of the soul, it's good that at least not all Abkhazians treat tourists this way. If tourists are annoying, then why develop this area at all...do not make tours, close hotels and tourists will immediately become fewer. Turks probably don't like tourists very much either, but they realize that this is a source of income for their country, a contribution to its development, so they try to show hospitality and work.

I join the negative comments of this institution. The guides seem to choose this place like no other, but the quality of the food, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired. The waiters serve you a plate holding onto it not from below, but right at the edges, where the soup is already poured; the appliances are actually served in your hands, holding onto it along the entire part of the teeth (if it's a fork), or immediately shoved into the soup, at least that way. They took kharcho - one name. A little rice, an impossibly spicy broth, and three huge pieces of bone with fat and leftover meat on them. The ear is tolerable - one huge piece of fish, potatoes, carrots and trout each. The view is really wonderful, I would like to wish prosperity to this institution, because there is every chance of this. But the goal was to enjoy the national cuisine, and not lie with poisoning and look for places in this wonderful country to "powder your nose" (on that day, only kharcho was eaten, before that there was only an ordinary chocolate bar for breakfast, hence the conclusions that this could only happen because of lunch at this institution).

It is located in a beautiful and picturesque place. We stopped by with an excursion on the road from Lake Ritsa. We were served for a VERY long time, considering the fact that we left our orders on the way to the lake. And when they brought it, the pilaf was cold, the khachapuri "boat" was relatively edible, it was difficult to call black tea in a teapot for 300 rubles, it felt like it had been brewed 4 times before us. We got the barbecue when the whole group started loading onto the bus, and then only when we ourselves approached the distribution.
