Cheburechnaya
An authentic stolovaya (canteen) that continues to do what it has been doing well for decades. Bypass the sit-down restaurant and head straight into the nondescript cafeteria (on the right), where you can place your order at the cash register. Try the namesake cheburechka, a delicious Georgian meat-stuffed pastry. Take your receipt and pick up your food at the kitchen window for one of the city’s cheapest meal deals.

Grably
The big buffet features an amazing array of fish, poultry and meat, plus salads, soups and desserts. After you run the gauntlet and pay the bill, take a seat in the elaborate winter-garden seating area. This Zamoskvorechie outlet is particularly impressive, with two levels of tiled floors, vines draped over wrought-iron rails, and chandeliers suspended from the high ceilings. Beer and wine are available at the bar upstairs.

Drova
The self-serve buffet at Drova features offerings ranging from solyanka (a salty vegetable and meat soup) to sushi to sweet-and-sour pork. It’s not the best place to sample any of these items, but the price is right. Hungry student types really take advantage of the all-you-can-eat option: it’s not always pretty. There are also Drova restaurants in Kitay Gorod and Basmanny.

Prime Star
Prime Star is a novel concept: a sandwich shop. And not only that, a healthy sandwich shop, also serving soups, salads, sushi and other ‘natural food’. Everything is pre-prepared and neatly packaged, so you can eat in or carry out. There are other restaurants in Basmanny and Tverskoy.

Cafeteria
If you are feeling nostalgic for the simplicity of Soviet life, this unnamed cafeteria will be a welcome reminder of the olden days. Students frequent this throwback, which offers only one main dish, one soup and a few salads each day. The food is fresh and cheap and made with care by babushky in hairnets.

Pelmeshka
Pelmeshka is a clean, post-Soviet stolovaya, serving many different kinds of pelmeni, the most filling of Russian favourites. This place is packed with patrons at lunchtime, a sign that the food is tasty as well as cheap.
