You can try the traditional Russian cuisine in the Traktir-Inn which is located on the territory of the Museum.
Besides that here you can try such local fish gourmet foods as taimen, Baikal omul, cisco and grayling.
There is also the Tchainaya-teahouse if you only want to have a snack.

To get to Tal’tsy, take a bus from the Irkutsk bus station in the direction of Listvyanka.
Tal'tsy is located in the village at the bank of the Angara 20 kilometers north of Baikal and 47 kilometers south of Irkutsk. It is about 45 minutes away from Irkutsk and 20 minutes from Listvyanka. To move on from Tal’tsy either to Listvyanka or Irkutsk is to hail a bus at one of the bus stops outside the museum grounds on the main road.
My colleagues from Irkutsk brought me there by minibus. The road was along the famous Irkutsk (Baikal) trakt.
You can watch my 3 min 24 sec Video Irkutsk trakt to Baikal out of my Youtube channel or here on VT.

As you can find out of this board, it is prohibited:
plant fires,
cooking kebabs,
listening to the loud music,
smoking,
drinking,
littering,
walk with the dogs,
writing inscriptions,
mooring,
going out on the ice.
Especially it’s very dangerous to plant fires and smoking because of all the buildings are made out of wood. Do you remember that two forts were burnt in fire XVIIth century?
As for me – I was there on business without my dogs, but I don’t like when walk with dogs is prohibited.
