Food Scene
Figaro
1 Ulitsa LapinaThis is my favourite restaurant. There is an Italian cuisine. Love it
If you want to try Russian cuisine, this is the best restaurant for this in Irkutsk. My personal recommendations to try are - Borsh (soup), Pelmeni (dumplings), Olivie (salad). Those are the most classic russian dishes, but there are also many others, you will see them in the menu.

Parks & Nature
I love this park which is on the small island on the river Angara. A lot of families and couples spend their time there. It's good to walk there. There is some entertainment as well. Every Saturday morning my friend and I work out in this park, we do jogging, boxing training and bar exercises.
