This cheerful, cosy restaurant called Na Zdorovie (Russian for 'to your health!') serves excellent Russian and Soviet cuisine. It is a good restaurant for tourists looking for a taste of typical Russian food. Take our word for it, everything we tried here tasted really fresh - as if a Russian babushka (grandmother) prepared it herself. Don't forget to try the typical Russian drinks kvas and mors.

Touristic. Quite pleasant interior reminiscent of a Russian peasant farm house, with historic wooden farm implements and woodworking tools. Good food. Not expensive. I had the aspen mushrooms and boiled potatoes (the latter were slightly overdone), pike-perch pelmeni and fish soup. All were good, except the rice pirozji that came with the soup was disappointing; not all of the rice was fully cooked and they were a bit greasy. The waitress really impressed me with her lack of sincerity and eagerness to take away my food before I was finished. The balalaika player (with computer-based accompaniment) was technically quite good but played only one Russian melody, apparently preferring jazz and Latin tunes in his short set. The kitchen closed early before I could order more or dessert. Overall impression: a bit contrived but good, authentic Russian food for a fair price.
I tried to find this restaurant, but I did not succeed. Is it really Большой проспект 13/4?
