Where to eat in Arkhyz in winter: Caucasian cuisine near the lifts
In Romantik you can eat at cafés and restaurants by the lifts, in the village itself and in hotels.
Caucasian cuisine is as much a part of a trip to Arkhyz as the mountains. Khychin flatbreads, meat from the charcoal grill, mountain cheese, ayran and herbal tea are what guests try in the very first days. In the Caucasian cuisine section we write about which dishes are worth trying, where to eat near the slopes and how to arrange meals on a ski or hiking day.
The Hotel Imperial building at Romantik Resort houses a Caucasian restaurant with a panoramic hall. Meat and vegetables are cooked over charcoal, and produce comes from local farms. The restaurant is a 7-minute walk from the Milky Way cable car, so it is easy to drop in after skiing. The menu is published as a PDF on the restaurant page; dishes and prices may change, so please check with the restaurant.
For hotel guests breakfast is included in every rate; lunch and dinner are paid separately (there is also a rate with three meals a day). Banquets, weddings, birthdays and corporate dinners can be requested via the form on the restaurant page. Below are the articles of this section and links that help you plan your trip.
