Restaurants in Central Caucasus

  1. Café Kristall

    Specialises in Karachay cuisine, including sokhta (a mammoth sausage-like creation stuffed with minced liver and rice) and dzhyorme (smaller Karachay sausage). Seating is outside on a porch along the river or in the cosy dining room with refectory tables. The atmosphere is jovial, and you just might be invited in to share food, vodka and song with the Karachay regulars here.

  2. Restaurant Sosruko

    This architecturally unusual restaurant at the terminus of the chairlift in Dolinsk Park comprises the head of Sosruko with an outstretched arm and hand holding a flame. It’s the place to try Kabardian national cuisine, including the Sosruko special, a concoction of minced meat, mushrooms and herbs in a pastry pear.

    Back in the centre this efficient, modern, squeaky clean Italian restaurant churns out excellent pizza, pasta and meat dishes and has a salad bar.
