My Russian friend, Lana works as public relation manager at
Focus travel. She's going to Moscow for 2 weeks for a business trip which was a good excuse for a meal to catch up with a few friends. The Russian food was a bit different to anything I've had before. Some of my friends said that it was a bit rich like French food. I like trying new food and giving you guys some feed back.
Sorry, I can't really remember exactly what we ate and the food might be good for Russians but my friends and I didn't enjoy it that much. It was also quite expensive when we thought about the size of the portions, the presentation and the atmosphere of an empty restaurant. The service was poor because the staff couldn't remember the names of the dishes and they bought the starters after the main courses. The wine and beer was not cold at all and we had to wait for almost half an hour for the wine to be chilled, and my friends had to drink beer with ice. I want to mention one more time that this is not a cheap restaurant and we were the only people in the big three storey restaurant.
Wrong choice for the meal but we had a good time together.

Russian foods are no where the same as French food. Absolutely not! I'm not trying to be a snob but French food is exquisite. You should go and try it at a real French restaurant.
Russian food is made for Russian people and Russian weather: lots of potatoes, dough, thick sauce, etc.. SO I guess it doesn't translate too well in a hot country like Vietnam.
I ate at a Russian restaurant in Chicago. I had a lamb-stuffed pastry with a carrot salad, and some very dark and delicious bread. It was the cheapest thing on the menu and I also had a shot of vodka (I mean, who wouldn't?!). The lunch was excellent and well worth going over my credit card limit for. I have never again found such a delicious stuffed pastry.
Maybe what I had wasn't really Russian food!
French cuisine is amongst the best in the entire world! The Russians arent so famous for theirs and ive never tried any thing russian aside from their Stolichnaya, which is world class!Nice blog looks like you people had a great evening thanks for sharing Vietnamese God
