Try posting on the chowhound site, there is a Russia board there, though there is not much traffic. I will post any reviews after my trip in the summer. I think this is a good bet.

Hi!
You can check out my website for an honest opinion of every restaurant I've been to lately. If you like, you can even send me reviews (if you can keep in with my style...). Not many reviews yet, I'm trying to add 2 a week.
Hope you enjoy it. It's a bit of a laugh.

Great effort Kangaroo, funny and informative.
I haven't eaten out a lot in Moscow but it seems fairly representative of the rest of Russia as far as restaurants go. Lousy service, worse food and exorbitant prices. Don't forget the awful pop music blaring so loudly that conversation is impossible. All the while the Russians sit stoically by and cop nyetu after nyetu. |

| Kangaroo495, I tasted my friends meat jelly dish and found it very unappetizing. I would never order this in a restaurant in Russia. I saw on your link that this is an appetizer. I would think there was something else on the menu in Moscow that would be more satisfying. What would that be? |

It is necessary to know, what restaurants to visit. Both service excellent, and food tasty both music quiet and cost low!!! And on one-two restaurants it is not necessary to judge about system as a whole. |

Iren, I know that the places you describe do exist but they are in the minority. The norm is as I described in my post above. Far from making this statement based on one or two experiences, I made it based on many experiences in many parts of Russia over many years.
Frankly speaking I much prefer to entertain at home these days, the food is better, the company is of your choosing, the music is as loud or soft as you wish and can be varied as the evening progresses, but most of all you are very unlikely to hear "nyetu" |

jo jo, the answer to your question qould depend very heavily on what the restaurant has in stock. If there is a tasty dish on the menu (for example "selyodka pod shuboy", or "pelmeni" or "syrniki") then it is likely they will be "nyetu".
Priyatnovo Apetita! |

I did before I posted and I agree - few and far between though they be lol.
I'm accustomed more to "da konechno, mozhno, est', & pozhaluisto," rather than "nyet, nyetu nelza etc" when I go out to spend my rubles on enjoyment and entertainment. Nonetheless this is what our sojourns into other cultures are all about and really, the travel stories can't all be brilliant can they? |
