Russian Far East

Russian restaurants in Russian Far East

  1. A

    Izbushka

    A popular little Russian eatery with two themed rooms: a ‘taiga’ room and a ‘dacha’. Traditionally dressed staff clank their high heels on the wood floors under a soundtrack of lightly played hip-hop. The food is hearty and good (a bread-covered bowl of shchi – cabbage, potato and beef – is R115).

  2. B

    Russky Restaurant

    Nearly all Russian restaurants get a bit kitschy, but this one goes all out – but in a way that never betrays its authenticity. There are paintings of tsars, side-rooms in dacha style, and traditional music kicking off dinners that frequently require reservations.

    Slavyanka

    Slavyanka Matryoshka dolls and wooden spoons encircle (mostly Russian) diners at this homy, eight-table restaurant that fills for all meals. The stage sees a balalaika trio perform nightly. Food's good and there's an English menu.

  4. D

    Dva Gruzina

    Wagon-wheel benches and murals of Zapata-moustached men greet mostly local diners. The food's very good - the lone daily soup is especially flavourful - but there's little but pork and beef (and no English menu).

    Overtime

    If you're here in hockey season, Overtime's primary red, white and blue décor overlooks the rink; photos of local hockey greats adorn walls all year. The 'goalkeeper' is a spiced Sicilian fish.

    Stary Gorod

    Good Russian meals in a village-style interior that's mod-retro, with stars shining above and waterfalls and fish tanks.

    Sloboda

    Small Russian restaurant proud of its 'hangover cure' soup and Cossack-styled chicken breast.
