Café restaurants in Siberia
-
A
Kafe Natalya
Cosy, with quiet good taste, this is by far Gorno-Altaisk’s nicest café. Delicious daily specials are displayed in the heated cabinet making point-and-pick an easy option. Omelettes (from R40) make a good breakfast.

Terrasa Kafe
The Luch entertainment complex contains several eateries, including fast food, fine Russian cuisine and notably the airy glassed-in Tererasa. Enjoy fine views across pl Lenina. Menus range from Japanese to Uzbek and there’s a remarkably filling R150 lunch deal, available daily.

Kafe Temp
For a slice of pure Soviet ambience try Kafe Temp, a sit-down cafeteria with archetypal 1970s décor. Amusingly surly staff bark bad-temperedly from behind gently vibrating displays of typical pre-served stolovaya stodge.

FoodMaster
Despite the ill-fittingly banal name, this is a wonderful café with painstakingly restored plasterwork tracery on the high ceilings. The menu (in English) ranges from Chinese to Mexican – try a Siberian burrito!

Vienna Café
With a wide-ranging English-language menu and long opening hours, this smart café-restaurant offers good cakes and tongue-tickling snack meals like Thai rice-noodles or aubergine in oyster sauce (R160).

Kofeynya
Tyumen’s top coffee house has an astonishing range of special grinds, delicious cakes and maté teas served in curious, wooden bulbs shaped like opium pipes, just as they are in South America.

Kafe 16
Enticing brown and beige tones purring with jazz beckon you through a unique art deco clamshell archway. Try the hard-hitting espressos (R60), and tastily garlic-edged fried cheese starters.

Arlekina Kafe
Bright colours, Venetian carnival masks and big-screen DVD make this clean, family-friendly place an upbeat choice. The menu is extensive and the R100 lunch is filling, if unexciting.

VSK Bistro
Cheap but tidy cafeteria serving stodgy belly-fillers such as bliny (R20 to R40), pizza (R40) and Russian cakes, all consumed under the rising skirt of Marilyn Monroe.

With its hand-written menu of Russian stodge and snarling dinner ladies, this hard-to-find basement stolovaya offers a more Soviet dining experience.

This midrange café has a pleasant summer beer terrace and a 'night-effect' interior but the music can get appallingly loud in the evenings.

Ultrabasic, super-cheap snack tables and a handy toilet, all within the foyer of the architecturally delightful Khudozhestveny Cinema.

Zakusochnaya Teatralnaya
The semi-stylish café Zakusochnaya Teatralnaya has reasonably priced if less-than-memorable food with amusingly grouchy staff.

Kalinka
Appealing wood-interior café within a shop, diagonally opposite the Hotel Tsentralnaya. Good-value meals but pricey beer.

Pelmennaya
This Soviet-era cafeteria has apparently antiphototropic pot plants and serves cheap if uninspiring breakfasts.

A stylish café, useful for breakfasts or as an after-party chill-out (breakfast R200, mains R250).

It's not Beale St, but there's a short menu of good-value meals and a cup of Nescafé.
