Вареничная № 1

Nice restaurant, in a great spot, with local cuisine focused on "varenikis" (something like a kind of pasta, filled with various ingredients, like meat, chicken, vegetables etc). Suitable for vegetarians too. Good thing that it has an English menu and English speaking staff. Good prices too.

Food was lovely. There are a few veggie options but not many. However, we had the sundried tomato tomato dumplings, the eggplant rolls and the cheese and tomato toasties. Service was not great, and the toilets needed some attention.

Feels like a restaurant from the 80s. Amazing food, ambiance and service and as a plus, very reasonably priced. English menu available which is highly appreciated when you have trouble reading Cyrillic. Look no further if you want a good casual eating out.

Very tasty and nice place.

Nice traditional restaurant offering an extensive menu and choices of all tastes, located in the lovely Arbat street. We went there twice and both times was super busy. Service is slow and they hardly speak English. Tipping is not included and waiters are asking for it ,in an impolite way,I would say.All in all ,cool experience to get to know better the local Russian cuisine .
