Uncle Gena ruined our trip to Abkhazia, because after Uncle Gena's barbecue, all the other kebabs barely reach three!
Uncle Gena, thank you very much! Everything we ate was sooooo delicious! The children are happy! And shish kebab is generally love! We wish you good health, happiness and long life!
It was during the New Year holidays of 2024-2025. We definitely recommend it!
If you see a man in New Athos next to the cave, who goes and laments what kind of barbecue he pickled yesterday, you see Uncle Gena, go to him to eat!
A welcoming cafe. Friendly, friendly hosts. The food is delicious, there is wi-fi, Beautiful mountain views.
During the week that we stayed in Abkhazia, having traveled all the cities and visited most popular places, this cafe is one of the best in terms of how delicious it is cooked! thank you! Success and prosperity
A great cafe.
I don't know what they write in the reviews, maybe people are just not prepared for the fact that this is not a Megacity.
Kharcho, pleasant and moderately spicy.
Pork kebab is above all praise, it is what it should be, juicy, with onion and pepper.
Caesar salad is normal. I would replace Greek with vegetable, since in fact only cheese was added and the price is twice as expensive. The vegetables in the salad are great.
I also tried the stewed giblets, I really liked them, just stewed, as if in an Afghan cauldron.
A great place with a wonderful view of the city. A very tasty pork kebab (it's a pity the sauce did not come with it), the most delicious vegetables on the grill, the portions are large and cooked by the owner himself. Sukhumi beer and homemade wine made by Uncle Gena himself from 4 grape varieties were appreciated. And this is the first cafe where a glass of homemade wine is not a third of a wine glass (120 ml), but a full-fledged faceted glass (almost 250 ml)! I am not an aesthete, I don't care about such trifles, on the contrary, I was pleased with this approach, because the price is the same, and the portion is 2 times more
When choosing a cafe on vacation, I always look for places with homemade wine (factory and I'll buy it in the store), here we were one of the first who tried Uncle Gena's homemade wine for the cafe this year. The owner is a very nice and sincere person, we were able to communicate personally, cordially treats tourists, cooks shish kebabs and dishes on the grill himself and does it masterfully. We will definitely take a look at the next visit. As in all cafes in Abkhazia, a lot of cute cats are waiting for sweets from tourists.
A couple from Samara)
We came here today, 2024, on August 19th, after the caves.
I think the prices for a budget cafe on the road are expensive. The usual noodles are 200 rubles, solyanka 400 rubles. A portion of about 300 grams, we wanted to take the pita bread was over, khinkali too, lula too... They chose French-style meat... The soups were very tasty, and the meat was warmed up for three days... Tough... 400 r serving. I gave it to the local cats... Therefore, 3 stars. We waited a long time too. There are only stars for the soup. And so I would have put 2.
It was August 22nd. It's very hot, the child felt sick from the heat. The whole company went to drink soft drinks while waiting for the tour session.. What was our surprise when we were kicked out.. they say they need to put people in jail who will buy food. I understand everything, but there were empty tables, there were people who sat on large tables in twos. It was possible to ask them to unite .. I'm honestly shocked..
I have been to this cafe many times and every time I come to Mount Athos, I definitely visit this cafe. They cook very tasty, the products are fresh, the owners and employees are very friendly
After visiting the cold Athos cave, I really wanted to have a snack. We decided to go to this institution. And what a surprise it was that in a small cafe we would get both gustatory and spiritual delight! The waitress girl immediately invited us to open our own wine. Solyanka - just lick your fingers Baking delight! The cuisine, it seems to me, is the best during our week-long stay in Abkhazia.Stunning view - the monastery is visible. We really want to come back)
For many years we have been going to New Athos just to eat at the cafe "uncle Gena" excellent food, wonderful staff. We are taking all our guests to them.
We were at Uncle Gena's (I don't even want to write in a cafe) at a party, we haven't eaten so delicious in public catering for a long time, everything was sooooo delicious!!! This year we decided to visit Abkhazia again, we will be regular guests, thank you for your culinary goodies..
We lived next door to a cafe. Very tasty. Excellent service. And of course, the owner himself. Abkhazian hospitality - always says hello, smiles. We will definitely be there again.
Delicious🫶🏽
I was disappointed with the cuisine in Abkhazia, but I was pleasantly surprised here
Don't wait for the service
But the barbecue is wonderful, we came specially a couple of times
Friends took soups, praised them very much
The view is amazing
We accidentally wandered in for a snack after visiting the New Athos Cave. It is very tasty and sincere. Insanely delicious trout, soups and homemade compote. The barbecue from Uncle Gena also pleased me. Very tasty tkemali sauce, not sour, just what you need. There is also a beautiful view of the mountains and the monastery. There are always a lot of people.
The most disgusting place I've ever had lunch in! I don't know who put 5 stars here, when this place is not worth 1 star.. We ordered caesar with chicken, brought it without chicken.. French-style meat with pork, I do not even know how to describe it, the smell alone made me sick, I had to feed everything to the local cats.
A place with a view of the monastery, next to the entrance to the cave. They cook delicious, you can wash your hands)... one warning, the Caucasian hodgepodge is acute, it was not in the course))
I highly do not recommend this institution, in addition to the terrible service and lack of a toilet, we were shortchanged by 1200 rubles, and I am not talking about the price for discussion, which was also included in the bill, we went to Abkhazia for 4 years and tried national food in many establishments, but here it is not the same and not at all tasty and only spoils the impression of tourists about the local kitchen
Tasty, sincere, hospitable👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Uncle Gena himself roasts shish kebab, brought the child noodle soup with such a piece of chicken, which was not in any institution in Abkhazia and Adler☺️
There is WiFi, the view is wonderful

It's not bad for Athos. The view is beautiful. We have heard a lot about the cafe. But when they came, they were a little disappointed. They waited a long time for the waiter to take the order. At the same time, there were few people. We read that shish kebab is a bomb... It's not like that! Those who have been to the Caucasus and know what a barbecue is will understand...we went only on the first day because we were close and had no desire to visit this institution for more than 2 weeks

We entered by accident. While we were waiting in line for an excursion to the cave, Uncle Gene called for a barbecue. After the tour, we decided to take a chance, because the rating of the institution looked promising.
And do you know what happened? I ate the most delicious pork kebab in many years. Great marinade, baked pepper. It's just delicious! The children praised the chicken noodles, and the salads were also excellent. Thank you, Uncle Gena, you're cool.
P.S.: Gagripsh is not your competitor at all, they don't know how to cook shish kebab there)
Oh, I saw negative reviews — guys, stay at home with such requests))))
The place is the best in new Athos, we've been almost everywhere (yes, we love to eat), but this place tastes the best! I fell in love with homemade white wine, there is no such thing anywhere else. The guy ate pork kebab, took it twice and both were delighted, the potatoes with dill are delicious.
I am a Vetetrian — I found vegetables with nuts, salads, ate khachapuri, everything that is very tasty, and the prices are very acceptable. The views are unreal! I really really like this place — we advise everyone, we will return to Mount Athos and we will definitely stop by again 💖💖💖
2 stars
One for the view, the second for the satsivi.
The rest that was ordered: Kuchmach, meat in Abkhazian, khinkali were very mediocre. At the same time, the prices are too high.The lack of agricultural equipment was also disappointing.
Uncle Gena was not seen, only a bored waitress.
In general, I do not recommend it…
I don't understand people who give an A.
A lot of meat, tasty, fast, the service is of course like in the early 2000, although everything in the whole of Abkhazia is definitely fresh and clean.
The most delicious barbecue on the entire coast of Abkhazia! Delicious white-homemade wine (not fusel)!I really liked the tkemali sauce-you can lick your fingers! The service is not intrusive, the food is fresh, the prices are adequate compared to other places. Uncle Gena, thank you again for the excellent barbecue! I'll come again! I recommend you to visit!
A very pleasant place, despite the fact that there was no light in the area, we were fed hot kharcho, delicious green salads, lamb kebab, grilled trout and drunk with excellent homemade wine.
Surrounded by stunning views, the food seemed even tastier.
We took a bottle of homemade wine with us)
The first place where they finally got a tasty and fast meal. It's a pity that we found such a wonderful cafe late. Soup - large portions. Delicious. Khachapuri is great. The service is fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable. The music is excellent. I highly recommend it for a visit.
We were there 2 times in a row, I liked it so much! The barbecue is impeccable - soft and juicy, the trout is the most delicate, the Caesar with chicken is excellent! Uncle Gena is our love! I recommend it!
We will miss you very much! A big family from Smolensk
The reviews are screwed up. The only good thing about this place is the view of the monastery and the opportunity to wait for your time before going to the cave. There is no toilet. There is a dirty washbasin by the grill. Only vegetable salad and khachapuri turned out to be edible. The rest is better not to eat, there is a very big doubt about the quality of the products. The trout tasted rotten, the kebab was pickled, the electricity was turned off, how it was stored is not clear. The tables and appliances are dirty, the waitress with a disgruntled face. In general, we concluded that the locals do not like working in the service sector, tourists are annoying, normal service is only provided if Russian guys work. I do not recommend this place
Everything is very tasty, especially pickles! The barbecue is awesome! We had a rest in July, we didn't wait long for the order, about 15 minutes :) The hospitable owners of the cafe were interested in whether they liked everything :) We really liked everything and it was delicious and cozy, we will definitely come back to you! Thank you very much!
It's not tasty and expensive, they don't accept transfers, and they also pay 10 percent for their service. Arrogance in one word. We ate better for less money.
A solid four when compared with other establishments in Abkhazia. There is no service that we are used to and perceive as ordinary.
We ate kharcho, pita bread, French fries, garlic sauce was very tasty (especially if you put sauce in kharcho), we did not eat shish kebab. Service, as in all establishments of this resort))) The cafe does not have a toilet.
Everything is delicious!! Uncle Gena has the best kebabs

We ordered soup, shish kebab and mashed potatoes with a cutlet, Soup for 4 fatty spicy meat, shish kebab for 3+, mashed potatoes are not edible, the cutlet is also not edible, I fed it to the cats. Tea, 3 tea leaves per liter teapot.
We ate khachapur, potatoes, compote, everything is decent, a hearty khachapur is quite enough for four. It was served in 15-20 minutes. The view is awesome. Uncle Gene is colorful)) prices are not affordable, but it's probably raised everywhere and there is a feeding place, caves nearby.
We took pork kebab, caesar and boiled potatoes. The kebab turned out to be not edible, wiry from stale meat, which they tried to save with excessive vinegar marinade.
Potatoes are like potatoes, not crumbly, it looks like they are heated in the microwave.
The children ate the salad and said that the chicken was "not so sweet" - they gave it to the cat.
The price tag is not humane - for 2 servings of questionable shish kebab, warmed potatoes and 2 caesars (plus tea, sauce and pita bread) they gave 2370 rubles!
It is better to go to the khachapurna on the seashore, there are delicious khachapuras! We paid 2 times less, and the buzz is 100 times more!
we visited this cafe in the middle of July. We took the Abkhazian cuisine - we liked the food very much, the prices are not expensive. we saw how Caesar was ordered at the next table - they brought a portion for three people, and the cost of a portion is only 400 rubles.
Great cafe! Everything is delicious, the hosts are friendly, the prices are reasonable. And one more plus - by the time you get there, you'll definitely get hungry!
The lamb loin kebab is excellent, the tkemali sauce was especially good, and the awesome view from the restaurant to the manostyr, that's all.
Absolutely UGLY service, people came and sat down at tables, a waitress approached them, they talked to her and they immediately got up and left, just ran!! :)))). I didn't care about their service, I wanted a lamb loin kebab :)))).
In general, they don't have to try, the people there are stupid, that's why the service is like this. In short, welcome to the Soviet catering!!!
I hope that maybe someday their conscience will wake up and they will understand that it is impossible to serve like this.
