Vladivostok

Other restaurants in Vladivostok

  1. Five O’Clock

    Vladivostok, take note of this novel idea – coffee, brownies, cakes and quiche (R50), all made daily and sold for less than an espresso at most ‘cafes’. Lots of midday snackers come in, perhaps to see the Queen plate behind the register.

  2. Syndicate

    Taking over Vladivostok in an Al Capone frenzy, this ultra-1930s themed restaurant – ‘Chicago, New York, whatever’, per one waitress – has seats next to faux storefronts and a stage that lights up with live music at the weekend. Big spenders stick with the steaks – an Aussie rib-eye runs to R1750, but there are R300 burgers and R360 pastas. It’s a couple of kilometres north of the centre, near ul Komsomolskaya, and is reachable via any ‘Vtornaya Rechna’ bus.

  3. Republic

    Inside the glass pyramid across from the train station, this perfectly respectable stolovaya (cafeteria) draws more than a couple of cheap dates with its tasty Russian dishes and own beer (R90). A loungelike, newer branch at ul Svetlanskaya 83, near the funicular, has the same prices and opening hours but is dressed up with prints of old Russian newspapers.

  4. A

    Gutov

    This beer hall with chunky wood tables serves large Russian meals – mostly meats and fish fillets cooked up with a host of vegetable toppings. On one occasion a local got too excited over the home-brewed beer and got arrested as a selfless researcher looked on. ‘Business lunch’ means gentler pricing of the same dishes.

  5. Pyongyang

    Staffed by newcomers from North Korea, this two-room Korean restaurant seems to like sitting Koreans in one room, Russians and foreigners in the other. You can pick from a photo menu of excellent food (BBQ starts at R480). It’s about four stops south of the train station via bus 60 (just before the railroad bridge).

  6. Bombay1

    Vlad’s only curry saver. There are R200 thali lunches noon to 3pm and a host of North Indian-style curries served as Bollywood films play on the telly.

  7. Mauro Gianvanni Café

    The Mauro Gianvanni café is cheap, with set pasta meals from R240, but no pizza.

  8. King Bufet

    This is a snazzy mezzanine cafeteria, with Russian food served until 7pm.
