If You Only Eat at One Restaurant in Moscow…
This is the one! 🥟🇷🇺 Name: Varenichnaya No.1 (Вареничная 1) 📍 Locations: Multiple branches – we visited the GUM Department Store spot! 💰 Cost: ~100 RMB/person Why It’s a Must: Local Stamp of Approval: Even Muscovites queue up, calling it “very tasty!” Cozy, Family Vibe: Play coloring games while waiting – quirky and fun! Russian Dumpling Heaven: Sweet, savory, and wildly creative fillings. What to Order: 1️⃣ Pan-Fried Dumplings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Meat-filled, crispy-edged – crowd favorite! 2️⃣ Potato Dumplings 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Comforting carb bombs – perfect with sour cream. 3️⃣ Adventurous Mix Platter: Cheese, sour cream, dragon fruit (!), and cherry fillings. Surprisingly balanced – not too sweet! 4️⃣ Beef in Clay Pot (Горшочек): Tender beef stew with rice – Russian-meets-Central Asian vibes. #MoscowEats #RussianDumplings #BudgetTravel #FoodieAdventure #MustTryMoscow
