In the very heart of the old Odessa, on a street intersection of Deribasovskaya, Gavannaya, and in the City Garden, in a house built for Iosif deRibas himself, one of the most picturesque and flashy restaurants of the Southern Palmyra is located – ‘Restaurant Pecheskiy’. The restaurant owes his name to a famous restaurant-keeper of the end of the 19th century, Mr. Pecheskiy who lived in this house on Deribasovskaya and kept his ‘Pecheskiy Pub’. At daytime poor people could eat here for very little money, and in the evening it was the center of Odessa night life. After the revolution of 1917 the restaurant was nationalized. It changed its names several times, but the one that stick in memory most of all was ‘Caucasus’. In 1991 it was bought out, renovated, and open its doors hospitably with a regained historical name. In a hall built in an atmosphere of an Odessa yard or on an open porch of the City Garden you can always just relax with your friends and relatives, listen to a live music, celebrate your birthday, an anniversary, wedding or have any other festive celebration in full comfort and idyll.
