Food, Drink shopping in Russia

  1. A

    Chocolate Museum - City Centre

    Despite the misnomer, this place is not a museum. While you are welcome to come inside to peruse the artistic pieces, it is unlikely you will leave without procuring your very own chocolate chess set or chocolate 'Fabergé' egg. This outlet is in the basement of the Stroganov Palace, but there are others inside Gostiny Dvor and Passage . So rest assured, you'll have no trouble finding that chocolate bust of Vladimir Ilych.

  2. Chocolate Museum - Bezymyanny

    The name is something of a misnomer, as this is a shop and the aim of its displays are to make you salivate and get your cash out. The amazing chocolate designs (including a bust of Lenin in white chocolate) are worth a look, although only employing black doormen (geddit?!) is a typically Russian idea of humour that will misfire with most Westerners.

    Smolensky Supermarket

    The most convenient and reasonable places to stock up on foodstuffs. You can grab a cart and peruse the aisles just like at home. Products available are Russian and imported - it's still expensive, but not prohibitively so.
