Rassolnik is a traditional Russian soup made from pickled cucumbers, pearl barley and pork or beef kidneys. The key part of rassolnik is rassol, wish is a liquid based on the juice of pickled cucumbers with some additions.Rassol is famous is Russia for its usage in anti-hangover treatment also.
Pelmeni – the small balls of minced meat covered with the pastry. In Canada they called "Pirogi", but in Russian cuisine Pirog - it's pie (open or closed). Pelmeni came to Russian cuisine from Siberia and the name is translated like "bread ear" from Komi (Komi - one of 158 nations living in Rissia) language.Inside could be one sort of meat or any 2-3 meat combination (for me the best combination is: beef, pork, lamb) There are many stories about pelmeni and one true thing is that you can eat a little pelmeni, especially if they are done in best traditions. Pelmeni are usually made by the whole family. Then pelmeni have to be frozen outside or in frizer.It take couple hours to make about 200 pelimeni - 10 servings.Often pelmeni served in bouillon.Couple words about restaurant: The interior of restaurant is made after extremely popular movie "Pocrovskie Vorota", wich recreated the...
An other traditional russian meal - Beef (pork) aspic (US 18.00- in Godunov restaurant).Aspic ("kholodets"), is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatin made from a meat stock. Aspics are usually served on cold plates so that the gel will not melt . Nearly any type of meat can be used to make the Aspic, in Russian cuisine it's usually pork or beef. Meat combinations could be different, but a substantial amount of bones is a must to get it all jellied. Kholodets is popular around the Christmas and Easter Holidays."Last but not least, kholodets is a great companion to vodka. If you eat kholodets with vodka, you will not get drunk - a little trick some people use at Russian parties. It also is perfect to eliminate hangover in the morning." Godunov restaurant is located in the center of Moscow in the building which was part of Zakonospassky Monastery built in 1600 during the rule...
Like almost anywhere in Europe also in Russia the posh restaurants will be very expensive and not always worth the pay. However, I found out that some small restaurant and coffee shops served very good food as well as provide good service. Also English is much more common these days with the young people in the big cities.
Pleasant atmosphere. They serve oriental coffee, like in Central Asia (or in Greece) made on hot sand. In another sector of the cafe they have a sushi bar. Open until the last customer (usually at 3 AM). as above
Many restaurants include every little item on the menu. Don't forget to check this and order what's necessary. For example, your breakfast may not come with toast. Make sure you order bread; make sure you specify 2 slices; make sure you specify toasted. Be sure to include salt and also pepper in your order, if you need it. Specify ice in drinks. Remember to add sugar and milk/cream to your order for coffee.
Blinis is something typical Russian. You can get them with all kind of filling. My all time favorite dish is blinis with caviar. I discovered them during my visits in Ukraine and now that I start exploring Russia I'll have them whenever there is an opportunity.
Although the food was very basic and each day was a variation of the last - the food was very good, wholesome and filling. We had 4 course breakfast, 4 course lunches and 3 course dinners, all beautifully presented. The waitresses get quite upset if you do not eat it all!

My favorite restaurant definitely was on the Transsiberian train from Moscow to Irkutsk in 1994. The restaurants are private enterprises, so it really depends on the crew. The crew of the 1994 transsib restaurant were so friendly and made the most delicious menues out of very simple ingredients. And after a look into their kitchen I was even more surprised at their efficiency and quality of food!
