Kofeynya u Ershova

Western Siberia


An easy stop near the kremlin for relatively quick and cheap Russian eats – think lunch standards such as bishteks (Russian-style hamburger), solyanka (pickled vegetables and potato soup) and stuffed bliny (pancakes). Portions tend to be on the small side so if you're hungry it might be worth ordering two dishes.
