Volgograd is one of the cities that is regularly visited by tourists from all over the world. The memorial complex dedicated to the Battle of Stalingrad attracts more and more guests every year, especially on the eve of May 9. Usually the tour takes a whole day, and there is a natural feeling of hunger. Therefore, all visitors are looking for cafes and restaurants of Volgograd, where you can eat well. Some of them pre-study reviews in order not to miscalculate. After all, no one wants to spoil the impression of a trip with an unsuccessful lunch.
Oldest restaurant in town
Almost in the center of the city, on Mira Street, the oldest restaurant, the Volgograd Restaurant, is located. He first received visitors back in 1956. However, even after 50 years, he holds the brand and is one of the most popular with residents and those who come. There are many reasons for this: a classic interior, an original menu and quality service. Today the restaurant is part of the Stolia group of companies, whose management has breathed a second life into it.
Empire style
To design this institution, an air and light Empire style was chosen. Therefore, stucco molding, light colors and crystal prevail in the decoration. However, the classic interior does not make the Volgograd restaurant (photo below) old-fashioned or tasteless. Decorators were able to successfully arrange modern musical equipment, a large stage with a retractable podium, a large plasma screen and a golden curtain. Classics and modernity are in perfect harmony in this institution and do not make it look like remnants of Soviet catering.
Separately, we can note the photo gallery, which is located in the main hall. It depicts the history of the post-war city with which the restaurant developed. It is no secret that Volgograd was completely destroyed during the Great Patriotic War and rebuilt after it. In addition to the main hall in the restaurant, where you can simultaneously gather up to 250 guests, there are two more with a capacity of 80 and 50 people. This makes it possible to carry out several events of different scale at the same time.
Interesting offers
Although the restaurant "Volgograd" has been hosting visitors for more than a dozen years, the menu in it is constantly changing. The chefs are always happy to offer not only classic dishes, but also prepared according to new recipes. Here you can easily get along with a meat hodgepodge, salads with arugula, fondue with shrimps, sorbet, berry cheesecake and much more. In addition, the restaurant always has a seasonal menu and special offers for a business lunch.
I would also like to note that on Sunday from 12 to 16 a children's brunch is organized where you can leave your child. The child will have a great time with the animators and friends, and will also be able to have a tasty and healthy 3-course lunch. In addition, the restaurant "Volgograd" provides banquet and receptions services both at home and in any other place. Field service will be organized at the highest level. To do this, there is everything you need: a special menu, experienced waiters and a room manager.
Restaurant "7 heaven"
Of course, the restaurant "Volgograd" has long been not the only such institution in the city. Among the recently opened and promising can be noted "7 heaven." The owners simply explain such an interesting name. When a person is happy, he is in heaven 7. This is what the chef wants to achieve when he comes up with the next dish for the menu. Although this is also aided by high-tech design.
Pride of the institution
First of all, the restaurant "7 Heaven" differs from others in the presence of author's cuisine. Nowhere else to try these dishes. Among the guests' favorite guests are salmon under a crispy almond crust, 7 Heaven signature salad and Asian soup with fried meatballs. Also in the restaurant menu there are many dishes cooked on an open fire. But the chef is not limited to this, constantly presenting his new culinary ideas to the court of visitors.
At the same time, the institution does not want to talk about its belonging to a particular nation's menu (like many other restaurants in Volgograd). Customer reviews, however, note that mainly more familiar European and Caucasian cuisine is preferred. Professional critics, however, believe that such bold experiments in combining products can be safely attributed to the fusion style. Indeed, among them there are also Pan-Asian dishes. In reality, it is not so important what is the style in which the dishes are prepared, if they are really tasty and mouth-watering.
Other original ideas
However, for an institution to be included in the rating "The best restaurants in Volgograd", just an interesting menu and design is not enough. Need an original idea. So, in this institution, everything is subject to the magic number "7". It was opened on June 7, located in the microdistrict "7 Winds" and is open 7 days a week. Those who want to learn a little luck should definitely stop by the restaurant and have lunch. Moreover, on weekdays from 12 to 16 hours the institution offers not only to taste a business lunch at an affordable price, but also to wash the car. Very convenient, isn't it?
And if the guest drank a little and can no longer sit behind the wheel, you can leave your iron horse in a covered parking lot. No need to worry, employees will take care of him as if they were their own. Another suggestion is a sauna on the second floor. Unexpected for a restaurant? But the owners are ready to do everything and even more so that their visitors are in the 7th heaven with happiness. That is why the restaurant got its name.
