Top Spots in Omsk with Balconies: Recommended Locations for a View
Engaging Evenings under the Omsk Sky - More Than Just Sunshine and Breeze, It's the Al Fresco Dining Scene That Steals the Show
In the heart of Siberia, Omsk offers much more than you might expect during the sultry summer months. It's not just about the sun-kissed days and the revitalizing fresh air, but also the inviting outdoor dining options. Here are five highly-rated eateries, according to 2GIS users, where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the vibrant city atmosphere.
- "Прохлада" (4.8 stars; 398 reviews)
Located on Tarskaya, 20, this hidden gem is nestled in the quiet heart of Omsk, just a stone's throw from "Glavpochtamt" (5 minutes walk approximately). The summer terrace nestles in the inner courtyard, ensuring that the city's hustle and bustle remains at bay. Despite its secluded location, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, catering to a broad range of wallets. The establishment serves more than just hot dishes; they also offer a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait for your food to arrive.
- "Корова на Бочке" (4.8 stars; 2,226 reviews)
A colorful cow heralds the entrance to this 2GIS-favorite eatery, tucked away in the Festival City shopping center's parking lot (70 Years of October, 19). Although space was limited within the large shopping center, the summer veranda offers a small but inviting seating area. The menu boasts a generous selection of dishes, and they frequently change their business lunch menu (around 500 rubles) and enticing promotions. The staff is known for their polite demeanor, although they can sometimes be a bit slow in their service. On the brighter side, your food is served quickly.
- "Bontempi Pizzeria" (4.8 stars; 6,974 reviews)
With a stone's throw distance from Lyubinsky Prospekt, this pizzeria is easy to find at Budarina, 15/Karla Libknekhta, 10 (entrance from Liebknecht side). The square-shaped "pizca," served at this establishment, resembles pizza yet has rounded corners and no edges. The generous terrace, accessible directly from Libknecht Street, invites guests to savor the flavorful Italian cuisine. While service can sometimes be hit or miss, there seem to be no complaints about the restaurant's interior, cleanliness, or the variety of its menu.
- "Blackwood resto&lounge" (4.9 stars; 249 reviews)
Tucked away near the Park of Culture, this hidden gem has nearly perfect ratings on 2GIS. Guests laud the exemplary service, reasonable prices, and affordable business lunch (400 rubles). However, visitors have noted some issues such as dust on the windowsills, a dirty toilet, and the persistent hookah room odor permeating through the establishment. Fortunately, the open terrace should escape these inconveniences.
- "Give Me Stronger" (4.9 stars; 694 reviews)
With three locations throughout Omsk, the one on Marx Prospekt recently introduced a "summer courtyard." Friday and Saturday evenings feature live music, Thursday nights showcase movies, and June's program includes stand-up comedy, workshops, and a garage sale. The lounge itself is highly praised for its innovative steam cocktails and tasty dishes, although the menu is not extensive.
