Novgorod Restaurants and Cafes.

 


Eating out is quite cheap in Novgorod. Even in the most expensive places you can dine for $5 US. The most known restaurant is "Detinets", located inside the Kremlin, you can also find restaurants around Kremlin in the garden, and at the hotels (for example, "Volkhov" or "Intourist"). If you're looking for something cheaper, you can try cafes and bistros, where you can dine for $2 US.
Most restaurants and cafes stop working at 22.30 - 23.00.

Finally, if you're hungry and everything is closed, you can try a 24-hour food shop "Adept" on Karla Marksa (Карла Маркса) street, #12.

If you want to try the berries from the region, walk down Karla Marksa street from the railway station, and there'll be babushkas (old women) selling many kinds of berries really cheap.


Detinets Restaurant.
Located inside the Kremlin, in Pokrovskaya tower, this restaurant serves the best Russian
Detinets Restaurant
food I've ever tasted. The restaurant is named after the Novgorod Kremlin - Detinets. You can sit inside the tower, or just outside, under the elm trees, eat delicious Russian food, and enjoy the view.
The dinner (a soup, a meal, dessert and a drink) will cost around 150 roubles ($5 US). Try fish soups (for $1.5 US), fish in the old Russian style ("Ryba po-starorusski" - "Рыба по-старорусски") - sudak filet and potatoes cooked in a boullion - $2 US, Russian pancakes with honey ("Blyny s medom" - "Блины с мёдом") $1 US.
A must-try is a traditional Russian drink - Medovukha ("Медовуха") - a honey alcoholic drink that's brewed in the restaurant. In Novgorod they prepare it the best way.
They start cooking after you order, so it'll take around 40 minutes for the food to be ready (you can walk around the Kremlin, while waiting, or just go for a swim on the beach 5 minutes away).
