Restaurants in Vologda

  1. A

    Puzatiy Patsyuk

    This well-executed rustic-effect nostalgia restaurant serves top-notch food including duck in a wonderfully tart apple-and-cowberry sauce ( kachka s yablykami ). The menu (in Ukrainian with Russian translations) is amusingly presented like a tsarist-era police report. At weekend evenings there’s a R50 cover charge.

  2. Hausbrandt Cafe

    Central Vologda’s most appealing café-restaurant is constantly bustling with shopping families and relaxed young professionals. Plate-lickingly good Florentine tagliatelle in bacon-and-cream sauce is nicely complemented by the mildly peppery Chilean house wine (R130 per glass).

    Kafe Lesnaya Skazka

    Filling if hardly gourmet, the soup–salad–fishcake set ‘biznes lunches’ cost only R90 in this modest but friendly little café part of which occupies a 1911 former chapel.

    Restaurant Mercury

    Can be a blast with the right company. Effusive women will guide you to heavily laid-out tables and lavish you with attention while a band plays gypsy tunes (Vologda has a sizable Roma population).

  5. D

    Ogorod

    Warmly attractive café that keeps prices low by serving meals cafeteria-style. There’s a second branch beneath a 24-hour supermarket at ul Gertsena 20.

  6. Zhar Pizza

    Popular in summer for (rather bready) pizza served on a garden terrace that’s partly protected from road noise by trees and a glassed-in summerhouse.

    Kafe Ars

    The Ars is a neat, efficient and even stylish place, serving good Russian meals (outdoors as well as inside in summer), with a menu in English and Russian.

    Akvarium Pizzeria

    Dark with nightclub-type lighting and house music even at midday, the Akvarium also prepares quite tasty pizzas.
