Where to eat in Staraya Russa

  1. Eat

    Cafe Bashnya

    Кафе-бар Okami

    This eatery with a cryptic name offers what now became the most popular food in Russia: pizza and sushi. Fortunately, they are not mixing it. Free Wi-Fi.

    12:00-23:00 dailyPizza: RUB 150-300

  2. Eat

    Cafe Il'men'

    Кафе «Ильмень»

    Il'men' is the best local restaurant (although in fairness, that's not a profound accomplishment) outside the hotel, and if you ask for a local restaurant at the hotel, they will likely direct you here. Fare is standard Russian, and the service is... standard Russian. The menu is nice and long, so you should be able to find something to your taste. Hours run very long into the night, and they usually have live music, if you are looking for a bar to hang out at.

  3. Eat

    Cafe Sadko

    Кафе «Садко»

    Another cheap café with a very convenient location, where you can get tolerable, basic Russian food like beef kotlety or stuffed cabbage. Semi self-serve—order at the counter.

    Daily 09:00-21:00RUB 50-120

  4. Eat

    Cafe Tortuga

    Кафе «Тортуга»

    Launched as a café for children, this eatery eventually transformed into a cheap bar colloquially known as ryumochnaya. It is not the best place to eat unless you are deeply interested in local drinking traditions, or simply want to taste savoury pirozhki that are on sale here.
