We went to this restaurant to have good food, as you know Russia is not noted for their food. This place is a must. The staff was friendly, very accommodating, spoke good english. We had a beef dish that was delicious, along with the veal. They had a good wine list. The best were there reds. It was not that... More

Nice and trendy "Italian" restaurant in the centre of Irkutsk. The staff, very friendly, speaks English as a native Englishman. The creme brulee wasn't really Italian, but very tasteful. The price was, for a 4 course meal, including a bottle of wine, coffee and friandises, 75€. Great!

Let's be honest, Russia is hardly famed for its cuisine, nor for its service but this restaurant bucks the trend, bringing true Italian cuisine to Siberia. I visited on Valentines Day evening having been turned off by the music that was playing on repeat in my hotel restaurant and was not disappointed. I was greeted with a smile and shown... More

Came to the restaurant at 11.30 PM just before closing. Were met by the owner with the words you are welcome and of course we do the best. Only words I wanna say: it looks like number one restaurant in Irkutsk! Compliments before and after our order. Real big plates with seafood salad. Warm tea with ginger. Romantic atmosphere and...

A well deserved escape to Russian 'cuisine'. The Italian food is absolutely very tasty and the service is extremely nice. Maybe it's not in the budget of every backpacker, but we highly recommend it.

Being a constant guest of this restaurant, I can say that Figaro is a great place to enjoy real Italian cuisine and relax. All the dishes we tasted made an impression. Besides, last time it was a new menu again! New variations of meat, seafood, and even chocolate homemade pasta!! What more could one ask for? We chose duck and... More

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Irkutsk. I would highly recommend it as for Italian cousine admirers as well for people who appreciate good atmosphere, perfect food and small compliments from the chief cook) It's also located in the very center of the city which is convinient for travellers. Desserts are...and, yes, again this word...perfect!
