Restaurant "Kompot" - a restaurant or still "compote"?

In Odessa, the restaurant "Kompot" has long been in demand among residents and guests. He has a special color and atmosphere, which is fond of many. Fortunately, the same-name institution opened in Moscow.

Who discovered and why

The restaurant "Kompot" on Arbat opened in December 2015. The initiator was the famous restaurateur Saveliy Libkin. The one that owns the Odessa chain of the same restaurants. The owners of other well-known establishments in the Russian capital have provided the necessary assistance. Now the restaurant "Kompot" enjoys quite a lot of success, but many visitors are puzzled why he was awarded such a title. After all, in the interior and the kitchen, it's more like a nice and almost homemade cafe.

Address and location

You can find an institution on Arbat Street, in house number 25. What is noteworthy, with the menu and the price list of prices, you can get acquainted with the opportunity without going to a restaurant. "Compote" in Odessa works on the same principle. The table with the chalk written in the menu is taken out to the street so that people walking along the old Arbat can be tempted at once for some dishes. If you go from the metro station "Arbatskaya", then you can find the institution on the right side, with "Smolenskaya" - on the left.

Working hours and seats

The restaurant "Kompot" on the Arbat is designed for 120 people. It occupies two cozy floors, where the interior is designed in the same style. The restaurant is open from 08:00 until 00:00. This is a very successful regime for the establishment on the Arbat - those who are in a hurry to work can eat on the way, and those who want to eat delicious and not at home later will be able to enjoy Odessa cuisine. The workload of "Compote" in the day is not too big (except - lunch time), but in the evening there is often a full house.

Interior

The restaurant "Kompot" was designed in a rather interesting style: wooden tables and cozy soft sofas, photos on the walls, chalk written names of the menu, vintage mirrors in the halls. For fans of reading the press, there is even a stylized mailbox, where there are a variety of fresh newspapers. And there is also a table with books. They can also be read at lunch or dinner for unobtrusive music, which does not play too loudly. But even without reading it will not be boring. For the convenience of visitors, there is a showcase with pre-designed desserts so that you can visually assess what can be ordered for coffee or tea. The same applies to fresh baked goods, beautifully laid in wooden boxes with bright napkins. Saliva and flow at the sight of a fragrant muffin or bun with poppy seeds. "The chip" was placed on tables, banquets and window sills banks with compotes - the brand name of the institution. By the way, they are happily photographed and guests-Russians, and foreigners who visited the restaurant. There are also "rare" jars from the Odessa chain in the capital's establishment, they can be distinguished by markings with years - "2012", "2013", "2014".

Menu and prices

And here everything is customary for those who managed to visit the Odessa network. Restaurant "Kompot" menu offers a very standard, but from this no less tasty. Several names of soups, of which borscht with sour cream and pea soup are especially popular. Huge selection of hot. But most of all visitors liked chicken cutlets with mushroom sauce and a side dish of mashed potatoes and Black Sea rapana in a creamy sauce. Prices for all very democratic for the capital - the average bill per person is not more than 1000 rubles, for which you can afford even superfluous. By the way, special attention should be paid to dishes from the Black Sea fish, which are always prepared here only from refrigerated and freshly frozen foods.

The dessert menu is quite extensive, but in order to know for sure what exactly it will bring to tea or coffee, it is worthwhile to look at the display case to not be disappointed. By the way, regular visitors usually go first to her, and then they look at the menu. Update it in the restaurant quite often, introducing new names with attractive names and descriptions. And the prices are democratic.

For those who prefer complex lunches (not new-fangled business lunches, namely lunches), there are two suggestions:

• 2 dishes + compote (cost - 325 rubles);
• 3 dishes + compote (cost - 395 rubles).

And, of course, you can choose from soups, salads, hot, drinks. You can find a dish you like, have dinner delicious, satisfying and inexpensive. Portions are very large, so before dinner you will not want to eat, and the working day in the office will be much more fun for a full stomach.

Opinions of visitors

Better than people, no one will say about the restaurant. And guests of the capital and residents of the institution were satisfied. There are those to whom the restaurant "Kompot" (Moscow) seemed a little ordinary, without "chudinka" and "chips", but such a little. Most often, it is the kitchen and the interior that are evaluated. And they liked most of the "Compote" guests. There are even regulars who come again and again, and then also give branded business cards to their friends. Although they admit that until the restaurant's name "Kompot" is not yet reaching, it's rather a pleasant and cozy cafe.
