Round Tower - Vyborg

The restaurant, located in the Round Tower, has a rich history that seems to be the main draw for customers. Despite ordering a simple salad and two pre-made desserts, we experienced a long wait for our food. Surprisingly, the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, so we expected quicker service. Unfortunately, my salad was disappointing, consisting only of grated apple, carrot, and a few cashews. I hope the rest of the vegan menu offers more satisfying options than the one I tried.

The restaurant is located in the Round Tower and has a rich history, which seems to be its main selling point. Despite there being few customers when we arrived, we still had to wait a long time for our order, which consisted of a salad and two pre-made desserts. My salad was disappointingly simple, consisting only of grated apple and carrot with a few cashews on top. The quality of the food did not match the long wait. I have not tried the rest of the vegan menu, so I hope there are better dishes available than what I experienced.

Initially, the lunch seemed slightly overpriced as we anticipated paying a little more for the lovely surroundings. The soup was decent, but the pork and chips appeared and tasted as though they had been hastily reheated in a microwave. The service was courteous but slow, and it was necessary for me to personally seek out our waiter as he seemed to be oblivious to our requests for the check. The charming details in the historical building kept us in high spirits, but the experience could have been greatly improved by serving even mediocre food at a quicker pace, making the visit more worthwhile.

My colleagues and I visited this restaurant in February, hoping to enjoy a good dinner with delicious dishes and excellent service. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The dishes tasted terrible, and were overloaded with mayonnaise - even fast food restaurants offer better options! The historical restaurant was not well-maintained, with a dusty and unpleasant smell. While it used to be the best in town many years ago, it has definitely declined. I would advise against risking your stomach and money here. The only recommendation I can make is to admire the medieval walls and ceiling, but avoid eating at this restaurant.

The Round Tower in Vyborg is a must-visit for tourists, located in the middle of the city. The renovated ceiling and walls, adorned with historical scribbles, exude a sense of history. However, the 80s pop music and disco ball somewhat detracted from the atmosphere. The staff seemed disinterested in serving customers, often choosing to chat amongst themselves and communicate with customers in a dismissive manner. Despite this, the food was delicious, with the borsch soup being a standout dish. It's important to note that the restaurant only accepts cash payments.
