Delicious breakfast! The presentation was impressive, and everything was served quickly and beautifully!

Hello everyone! On one lovely day during our vacation, my wife and I decided to take a trip to the Altai Mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery we love. Of course, we got hungry along the way, and the photos we saw online whetted our appetites! Everything looked quite decent in the pictures, and the place seemed great. But! There is one major issue: unfortunately, the kitchen is so terrible that the cook can't even tell whether the potatoes are cooked properly or not. The managers don’t pay attention to the cleanliness of the cooking equipment, and there was a smell reminiscent of an unwashed cafeteria in a kindergarten wafting from the food. There are no sous-vide options for warming up food; it’s just reheated in a microwave, like at a train station—and even there, they serve freshly prepared meals!

The café is excellent, offering generous breakfasts, and the staff is very friendly. Service: 5

They don't even deserve one star. It was unbearable to be there. The service was subpar. I wouldn't recommend going there.

Additionally, there is a rather strange situation with the wine list. The selection is minimal, and the bottles are stored warm on the shelves. During our visit, other guests repeatedly inquired about the absence of white wine, which felt comically out of place. Considering there is a city 30 km away, it would be easy to send a vehicle to bring a few cases and sell them at a marked-up price. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. As for service? Well, that seems to be nonexistent.
