If you were attentive while looking for a nice place to eat, there are in fact not many Russian restaurants in Moscow. We prefer cooking traditional food at home and go out for dinner to an international restaurant, to divert our taste buds.

Moscow food courts with Italian, Georgian, Korean, and Pan-Asian corners are mushrooming since 2017. Students sit over their books in Japanese cafes, businesswomen have a quick snack in American diners, the office staff has their after-work drink at the nearest Georgian bistro. Globalization made international food affordable and available. While maintaining the principle “eat local” in Urban Adventures, we like trying new and exploring the world cuisines.

If you are done for a while with Russian meals (we know, you’re gonna miss pelmeni!), always weirdly warm and lavished with dills, it’s time to discover international cuisines in Moscow.

Hey dear traveler, have you already tried vareniki, bortsch, and bubliki? Did you have a cup of Russian herbal tea, a can of kvas and a shot glass of vodka?…
