In Odessa, the Kompot restaurant has long been in demand among residents and guests. It has a special flavor and atmosphere, which is loved by many. Fortunately, an institution of the same name has opened in Moscow.

Who discovered and why

Compot Restaurant on Arbat opened in December 2015. The initiator was the famous restaurateur Savely Libkin. The one that owns the Odessa network of restaurants of the same name. All possible assistance was provided by the owners of other well-known establishments in the capital of Russia. Now the Kompot restaurant is quite a success, but many visitors wonder why it was awarded such a title. Indeed, in terms of interior and cuisine, it looks more like a pleasant and almost homely cafe.

Address and location

You can find an institution on Arbat street, in house number 25. Remarkably, you can get acquainted with the menu and price list without going into the restaurant. Kompot in Odessa works on the same principle. A table with a menu written in chalk is taken out into the street so that those walking along the old Arbat can immediately be tempted to some dishes. If you walk from the Arbatskaya metro station, you can find an institutionon the right side, from Smolenskaya - on the left side.

Working hours and seats

The Kompot restaurant on the Arbat is designed for 120 people. The establishment occupies two cozy floors, where the interior is designed in the same style. The restaurant is open from 08:00 to 00:00. This is a very good mode for an establishment on the Arbat - those who are in a hurry to work can have a bite to eat on the way, and those who want to have a tasty dinner and not at home at a later time will be able to enjoy Odessa cuisine. The workload at Kompot during the day is not too big (an exception is lunch time), but in the evening there is often a full house here.

Interior

The Kompot restaurant is designed in a rather interesting style: wooden tables and cozy soft sofas, photographs on the walls, menu names written in chalk, vintage mirrors in the halls. For fans of reading the press, there is even a stylized mailbox with a variety of fresh newspapers. There is also a table with books. They can also be read at lunch or dinner with unobtrusive music that plays not too loudly. But even without reading it will not be boring. For the convenience of visitors, there is a showcase with ready-made desserts on display so that you can visually evaluate what you can order for coffee or tea. The same applies to fresh pastries, beautifully arranged in wooden boxes with bright napkins. Saliva flows at the sight of a fragrant muffin or a bun with poppy seeds. The "chip" was the jars with compotes placed on the tables, banquettes and window sills - the establishment's trademark. By the way, they are happily photographed by both Russian guests andforeigners visiting the restaurant. There are also "rare" jars from the Odessa network in the capital's establishment, they can be distinguished by the marks over the years - "2012", "2013", "2014".

Menu and prices

And here everything is familiar to those who managed to visit the Odessa network. Restaurant "Kompot" menu offers a very standard, but no less tasty. Several types of soups, of which borscht with sour cream and pea soup are in special demand. Huge selection of hot drinks. But most of all, visitors liked chicken cutlets with mushroom sauce and a side dish of mashed potatoes and Black Sea rapans in a creamy sauce. The prices for everything are very democratic for the capital - the average bill per person is no more than 1000 rubles, for which you can even afford too much. By the way, special attention should be paid to Black Sea fish dishes, which are always prepared here only from chilled and freshly frozen products.

The dessert menu is quite extensive, but in order to know for sure what exactly will be brought to tea or coffee, you should still look at the window so as not to be disappointed later. By the way, regular visitors habitually go first to her, and then look at the menu. They update it in the restaurant quite often, introducing new names with attractive names and descriptions. And the prices are democratic.

For those who prefer set meals (not newfangled business lunches, namely lunches), there are two offers:

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

And, of course, you can choose from soups, salads, hot drinks. You can find a dish to your liking, dine tasty, satisfying and inexpensive. The portions are quite large, so you won't want to eat before dinner, and the working day in the office will be much more fun on a full stomach.

Visitors opinions

Better than people, no one will say about the restaurant. And the guests of the capital and residents of the institution were satisfied. There are those to whom the restaurant "Kompot" (Moscow) seemed somewhat ordinary, without "odd" and "chips", but there are few of them. Most often, it is the kitchen and the interior that are evaluated. And most of the guests of "Kompot" liked them. There are even regulars who come again and again, and then also pass branded business cards to their acquaintances. Although they admit that it still does not reach the title of a restaurant "Kompot", rather, it is a pleasant and cozy cafe.
