Meat Jagger — Restaurant in Petropavl Public Administration

Quite mixed feelings, to be honest. I had heard a lot of good things from locals and since it’s apparently a must-visit place in Petropavlovsk, we finally decided to give it a try.

The good: The design, both inside and outside, is great—modern, cool, and trendy. Our waiter Igor was very professional and knowledgeable. The horse tartare, T-bone steak, and brisket BBQ were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection.

Last night we had Constantine as our waiter and he was fantastic. I highly recommend...

Exceptionally friendly staff, fabulous food and nice atmosphere. A rare find! They have two restaurants (Meat Jagger for meat and Cemenov for Italian) and even an own cheese factory, all in the same building. We ate in both restaurants and were very happy...
