First Stop: Technikum – My Go-To "White People Food" Haven! 🍴

Restaurant: Техникум (Technikum) Why I Love It: Affordable Michelin-esque vibes, perfect for a quick yet gourmet fix! Key Details: Weekday Lunch: 20% off (but even weekends are worth it!). No Reservations: Walk in – seats open up fast! (*Busy times have a 1.5-hour limit, but that’s plenty.*) What I Ordered (Again!): 1️⃣ Бутер с креветками и сливочным сыром (Shrimp & Cream Cheese Sandwich) 🥪 Star dish! Stuffed with plump shrimp, avocado cream, and melty cheese. Pro tip: Cut into the runny egg yolk for maximum bliss. 2️⃣ Брускетта со страчателлой и инжиром (Fig & Stracciatella Bruschetta) 🍯 Sweet figs + creamy stracciatella (burrata’s cousin!) + crispy bread. So good I recreated it at home! 3️⃣ Лазанья с телятиной в соусе бешамель (Beef Lasagna with Béchamel) 🍝 Rich, cheesy, balanced with tomato tang. Share it – it’s decadent! 4️⃣ Пастрами из говядины с пармезаном и плртвейном (Pastrami Beef with Parmesan & Potato Mash) 🥔 Smoky pastrami + crispy onions + velvety mash = texture heaven. 5️⃣ Черничный торт с голубикой (Blueberry Cake) 🫐🍰 Not too sweet! Tart berry jam + fluffy layers. Dessert done right. Verdict: Ambiance: Chill, modern, great for solo or group hangs. Price-to-Quality: Unbeatable for Moscow! (~2000 RUB/person) Repeat Factor: 10/10 – I keep coming back for that shrimp sando! Note: Tastes vary – this is just my obsession! 😉 📍 Address: Check Google Maps for latest location! #MoscowEats #MichelinOnABudget #ComfortFoodGoals #StudentLife #FoodieFinds #RussianGourmet
