One of my most pleasant experiences during my trip to Sochi (2018). Cafe Del Mar belongs to the Delmar Family cool restaurant chain, which unites six establishments, and I have already visited two of them. I wrote separately about the trip to the Skullcap cafe here, and now just a few words about why Cafe Del Mar is not just one of the dozens of cafes for me on Primorskaya street in Sochi, but a place where you want to return. Despite the merciless price tag and the crowd on the embankment.

Cafe Del Mar in Sochi
I deliberately went to Cafe Del Mar, after reading reviews and recommendations, but not going into details to leave «a place» for your opinion. I didn't guess the time of the visit, so I won't please you with stunning photos of the sunset sky and a lonely yacht on the horizon. But on the other hand, I managed to shoot all the dining areas of the cafe, which differ from each other in both appearance and comfort. Given that the main building of the cafe «DelMar» two-storey, guests of the establishment have a choice between four location options.
The most profitable and most popular option is a summer terrace on the second floor. It is quiet there, there is a play area for children, the best sea view and the most comfortable sofas in the cafe. In the evening it is ideal here, but in the morning and in the heat of the day it is better to hide on the ground floor, where there is a bar counter. Here you will find several tables with sofas and the same number with chairs. Only one table has a view, the farthest, in the corner to the left. The other two dining areas are outside: double tables on the waterfront and double tables downstairs on the beach. There are already lying places with bags filled with foam balls.
Aside from the excellent choice of location, the staff are amazingly well mannered. I would not be surprised if I find out that they are all with a higher education and an English level of at least Upper Intermediate. The waiter was a young man who perfectly fulfilled his duties until the moment when I wanted to pay off. There was a hitch here - the guy was rushing between the tables, but stubbornly did not raise his eyes in my direction, perhaps he thought that he could not pay attention to me until sunset. Half an hour later, I was even slightly upset and retroactively put a minus to the establishment. But he calmly approached the cash register and asked for the bill. It happens. I didn't want to spoil my mood at all.
Moreover, the ordered bucket with red mullet and branded lemonade «passion fruit orange» turned out to be so delicious that I asked for more. By the way, I chose a place for myself on the embankment, at the parapet. I did not want to occupy the whole table for six on the veranda alone, and the mood was at that moment to be closer to people, and in the fresh air. And this combination of tastes, aromas, sounds and a great look created such a mood that I would gladly repeat it again..
