Not being a lover of pathos and pomposity, I did not dare to come here for a long time. Looking first at my dusty sneakers and worn jeans, then at the huge windows decorated with gilded monograms, two feelings fought in me - awkwardness and curiosity. However, curiosity eventually got the better of me, and after convincing myself to go in for a "couple of shots" and, if I was lucky, a coffee, I stepped after a man who was barely visible because of a huge travel backpack. What was my surprise that the hall was almost completely filled with tourists like me, and not at all ladies in evening dresses and gentlemen in tailcoats. The interior decoration of course surprises - there is gilding, and fancy columns, and crystal.
By the way, you can take pictures if you do it unobtrusively and, as it were, "by the way", without aiming at the faces of chewing visitors : ) The prices here are as ornate as the pattern on the ceiling, but everyone, even a budget tourist, can drink a latte or cappuccino. Yes, and they go here not for a romantic dinner or a quick snack, but rather as a museum serving delicious coffee : )
