Ladeyny

Western Siberia


This place, an extra-large Siberian izba (wood house) that simply feels warm and welcoming, is a revolution as far as Tobolsk is concerned. Specialities include Siberian fish and homemade pelmeni (ravioli) and varenyky (dumplings). Nights sometimes bring live music. The English menu is extremely rare for these parts.
