"They also do different porridge dishes, an awesome fish soup (ukha) and have beer on tap."

"For a splurge, though, the $9.95 "Red Stars" blini can't be beat, the slightly sweet pancake rolled around more wild salmon roe than you might expect at the price, moistened with just enough sour cream. Call it caviar on a budget."

"Worship at the throne of Teremok - the pancake or blini kings. Although it is strictly fast food, the blini are assembled as you order them and there is a wide variety including the Ilya Murometz, a popular concoction of boiled pork, mushrooms and cheese and the email (mushrooms in cream)."

"Our list of the Russian capital’s best bars and restaurants you have to visit: Teremok - Offering traditional Russian fillings such as red caviar or creamy mushrooms along with some rather more experimental options – think a black pancake (blini) filled with teriyaki chicken. For dessert, consider a pancake filled with condensed milk – a classic Russian treat."

"Eating typical Russian food on a budget in Moscow: Teremok - Teremok serves blini (Russian pancakes) with a wide range of fillings both sweet and savoury. The blini will come made with little designs baked into them too, so you really can’t go wrong."

Alexa van Sickle

"Your guide to eating in Moscow: Teremok - Teremok slinging fast and good blini (Russian crepes) with red caviar. For breakfast, order a buttery blin with shiny salmon roe or try the E-mail blin, which comes with mushrooms and melty cheese, as all email should."

"The joint offers four types of traditional soups: borsch (the beet soup), ukha (the fish soup, here made with trout), split pea and ham soup and wild mushrooms soup. We tried all but borsch (because borsch we had at home), and each was hot, spot on and very fresh."

Davide Castellucci

"The borsch, ukha (fish soup), pot stickers, buckwheat porridge, potato salad and syrniki with sour cream are delicious."
