You’ll have no problem finding a meal in Moscow. It doesn’t matter who you are – a true food connoisseur, an unpretentious gourmand, a budget eater or a big spender – you’ll always find a place to your liking. And since you’re in Russia, don’t miss the chance to try some national dishes. It is often said that Russian cuisine no longer exists, but here are some examples for you to try. Schi, solyanka, yha and rassolnik are traditional hot soups and okroshka is cold soup usually made with kvas. Prices start from around RUB 70 and go up to about RUB 200. Come and explore the tastes of these strange names!
