Where to stay

Boutique Hotel “39”

Rostov Hotel “39” received the title of the most fashionable hotel in the south and became famous far beyond its borders. It got its name from the number of the house in which it was located, where, according to ancient times, there was a billiard room that Mikhail Bulgakov once visited. And literally nearby, in Soborny Lane, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was sitting at the school desk.

The interior design follows the old, new thing principle; Here, a modern reception desk made of precious redwood harmonizes with a Tsarist-era brick wall, and an old handmade chandelier is combined with a door in one of these halls. old mansions. Therefore, if relaxation is also an opportunity to dilute the content on a banned social network, this is definitely the place for you.

Leo Wine and Kitchen

Perhaps this place has long become the calling card of Rostov-on-Don. It was opened by Sergey Podporin, Maxim Lyubimov and Alexey Skidan, who for several years collected all domestic restaurant awards for his signature cuisine. One thing worth noting is that the menu here changes so often that there is no point in recommending anything, just come and try dishes in interesting combinations. Ah, yes, in case you’re wondering about the name again, Leo is Lev Golitsyn, the man to whom we are all grateful for the emergence of Russian wine.

“Golden Ear”

We could not leave this election without the “place of power” of Rostov. Therefore, contrary to all trends, we are talking about a confection whose filling literally takes you to the USSR. The “Golden Ear” is the calling card of the southern capital, part of the cultural code of the city and a must-see tourist attraction. It has been in existence for 70 years. In general, we recommend all dessert lovers to take this place into service. The freshest desserts of the city, from pastries to cakes, are prepared here. In total there are almost 30 branches of Golden Ear in Rostov, so confectionery shops will definitely not go unnoticed.
