Residents of Lipetsk cafe "Deja Vu" has been known for over 10 years. The establishment had periods of a service crisis, protracted repairs, and regular menu changes. What is happening with the restaurant now? Where is he located? What to expect from a visit and why go there at all?
Where is it and how to get there
The address of the cafe "Deja Vu": Lipetsk, 26 Tereshkova street.
The nearest public transport stop is called the 7th microdistrict. You can get to it by buses No. 1, 1T, 9T, 323A.
It is worth noting that you can safely go to this institution by private car. There is no heavy traffic on Tereshkova Street, and on the territory adjacent to the restaurant there is ample parking designed for Dejavu customers, so there should be no problems with parking spaces.
The format of the institution and the interior
The work of the institution on weekdays is no different from standard diners, where you can have lunch or drink coffee. The interior is made in the European style without frills and any special decoration. During banquets, Dejavu cafes are decorated in Lipetsk, trying to style it as a luxurious restaurant.
So the interior of the institution directly depends on the format of the event held at the cafe.
At first glance it might seem to visitors that they were in a restored dining room with a claim to a restaurant from the time of the NEP. On the one hand, this gives a certain charm, on the other - it can alienate lovers of chamber gatherings in an expensive environment.
The cafe also invites corporate clients for coffee breaks, receptions and business events.
Halls and VIP rooms
Most striking is the scale of the institution. Cafe Deja Vu in Lipetsk includes as many as 6 halls with a capacity of 10 to 60 people. Two of them, however, are located in the basement without windows, so they are not suitable for everyone.
VIP rooms do not differ in any special chamberness and comfort. This is just a room with a table and 10-20 chairs, where you can spend a private dinner or celebrate an anniversary in Lipetsk. Do not wait for cozy sofas, muffled music or the atmosphere of elite restaurants. This is just an affordable option for local events of various formats.
Menu and average bill
The menu of Deja Vu cafe in Lipetsk is a real fusion, although it is positioned as being made in the spirit of classical European cuisine. In the restaurant you can taste various types of salads, hot appetizers, soups, pasta, pizza and even steaks.
Separately, it is worth noting the extensive menu of dishes on charcoal. The barbecue grill is open all year round and does not depend on the time of the visit. Guests can enjoy a wide range of treats, ranging from ordinary kebabs or grilled vegetables to Florentine steak or seabass baked on charcoal.
The prices in the cafe are not democratic, but they differ from the prices for similar dishes in other catering establishments in Lipetsk in a big way. The average price of a salad is 300 rubles, a small pizza with seafood can be tasted for 450 rubles, and a modest piece of baked pork costs more than 800 rubles.
But the steaks of marbled beef are very affordable and cost about 400 rubles. Cheaper than a similar piece of raw product, which, of course, makes you wonder if it is marble beef.
Thus, the average check for lunch for one person can be about 700 rubles due to the low prices for soups and high for hot snacks.
Drinks and bar menus
If we talk about drinks, the bar offers a very wide line of alcoholic and non-alcoholic products. There is no point in talking about the latter - everything is standard here (tea, soda, mineral water and coffee). But alcohol and a wine list should be considered more carefully.
- An extensive cognac card is available at Cafe Deja Vu Lipetsk. Here you can try different types of Hennesy, however, and the price of the most expensive cognac will be quite high - almost 1.5 thousand rubles per 50 ml of drink. For lovers of savings, about 7 types of this drink are available with more pleasant prices.
- 8 types of liquor will allow you to find something for yourself and keep warm even in the coldest cold.
- 6 types of rum are served at a price of about 200 rubles per shot.
- The cafe offers many types of whiskey, vodka, sparkling wines and vermouth.
- The beer lover offers to taste 4 types of draft foamy drink, as well as beer of its own production with the speaking name "Deja Vu".
Banquets and celebrations
This restaurant has long been a traditional venue for weddings, anniversaries and New Year's corporate parties. A standardized interior and not the most sophisticated menu makes this place an ideal venue for any event.
The average cost of a menu for one person during celebrations is from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles, depending on the day of the week and the format of the event. Guests are invited to immediately remove the entire first floor and get at the disposal of several rooms with a total capacity of up to 130 people or rent a basement that can accommodate up to 90 people at a time.
To book a room for events, please call Dejavu Cafe in Lipetsk. You can find it on the official website of the institution.

Among other things, the institution promises to organize a high-quality buffet reception, banquet or coffee break of any scale and format. Moreover, the number of invited guests should not affect the quality of the organization and the presented dishes.
Impressions of visitors
Reviews about the cafe "Deja Vu" in Lipetsk come down to criticism of the interior and service. Visitors note the sad state of the room, which resembles the good old Soviet restaurants.

However, many visitors note that this place is a great option for a business lunch.
Thus, in the institution you can find not only positive, but also negative points.
