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.
