Moscow, places to visit - recommendations from a native-moscovite. Part 1. TO EAT, 'Mu-Mu'

Being a Moscovite myself, I can tell you about some places in Moscow that are worth visiting. Besides, summer is in the world already, so it's time to think of the vacation, and perhaps you have already chosen Moscow or some other cities as a place to travel. 


To eat. 
if you have chance, of course you may visit any restaurant you see, but no guarantee that you leave there reasonable and not TOO MUCH money. So here are the recommendations of the 'medium' price 


Mu-mu ("Му-му") is a cafe of Russian cuisine. The name is taken from the story by Ivan Turgenev, this sad story is about a dog. But the symbol of the restaurant is a cow, looks like funny. When you enter, you take the tray and then slide with it choosing the food. It is organised as a buffet, but the cookers help you to put the stuff. So you may ask them if you have questions about some dishes. 
      First come salads, then you may choose soup, then 'second course' or main dish and garnish to that. Bread, desserts are followed by drinks. Then you bring it to the cashier and pay. You are free to try all that. 


When I was in the University, we sometimes had lunch there, still for students it was not the cheapest variant. But delicious! 


Of course, it is impossible to try all that delicious stuff of Russian cuisine at once, so may be you may visit it few times? 
My personal choice today would be the following:
egg-plant rolls with vegetables, 69, 50 rub 
cold beetroot soup (nice summer variant!), 68,5 rub
fried meat dumpling (Russian style dumplings), 65,5 rub  or maybe I try fried pancake with meat, 49,5 rub
and to finish my lunch with triumph I will take the dessert, today it is gateau 'Potato' (it is DESSERT, I promise), I like it since I first tried it at the age of 5 ! =)), 29,5 
and maybe some tea, with dessert it comes 38,5 


If you don't take the dessert, you may try some drinks, like kvas (29 rub), or Mors (natural organic drink or berries, 31,5 rub), or kissel, 44,5 


Totally is 255,5, which is around 64 HKD. I am full till the evening, for sure! Or even more! 

Приятного аппетита!
