Russia is called a bridge between Europe and Asia. Characteristics of different cultures are also apparent by tasting. Russians love filling and appetizing meals; this is especially relevant for food that is offered by street sellers (buns filled with cabbage, mushrooms or meat, called pirozhki).

While in Moscow, it is necessary to try the authentic sour cabbage soup (shchi) and dumplings filled with meat or quark (varenyky or pierogi). These high-calorie and quite fattening delicacies will instantly help recover any strength lost in getting acquainted with city symbols. A great way to quench your thirst is to treat yourself to some delicious kvass, kompot, or tea from a samovar.
