Durdin Restaurant

Located slightly away from the city center, this restaurant features Russian cuisine ($10-$15 for a meal) and locally made beer. "Durdin" exploits the 19th century theme, but in the way different from Pushkin (see above).

If Pushkin is like a high-society version, Durdin is more like a middle-class.
The local speciality is the fresh beer manufactured right in the restaurant, which is said to be made according to the unique ancient recipes. The restaurant is quite large, the best tables are on the second floor. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
