Recommendations

"The menu features tasty, filling pelmeni (Russian-style dumplings), with sweet and savoury fillings."
"The menu features tasty, filling vareniki (Russian-style dumplings), with sweet and savoury fillings."
"The menu is a prime example of authentic Soviet cuisine at its best: vareniki both sweet and savory. Hailed as some of the best dumplings in Moscow, you can get them in 15 locations around the city."
"The menu is a prime example of authentic Soviet cuisine at its best: generous helpings of delicious pelmeni."
"Where to eat tasty and inexpensive in Moscow: Varenichnaya №1 - The recipe for the salad Mimosa, brand chef Alena Solodovichenko took from her great-grandmother's cookbook - this is definitely not to be missed!"
"The veal vareniki are very good. As per usual, the dough is on the thick side for a dumpling, but it strikes a good balance with the filling. The ground meat inside is quite compact but not dry. But the mushroom and cabbage vareniki are my favorite. Same dough and same size as the veal version, but with a very juicy and soft filling. If you’re afraid you’ll miss the meat, there’s the stewed veal on top anyway!"
"Cutlets are another Soviet classic, probably because a dish made of ground meat can be made with almost any animal part, thus helping to work around meat scarcity. Varenichnaya №1’s chicken cutlets are laced with cheese, and served with potato purée and sliced cucumber. The cutlets are made well."
"And now for the ultimate Soviet food experience: the herring under a fut coat! Layers of onions, herring, potatoes, carrots, and red beets, with such liberal amounts of mayo that calling this dish a salad would be an insult to the Ministry of Health."
"I tried the pork pelmeni (dumplings) with crispy onion and butter sauce and they couldn't have been any tastier!"
"While here, be sure to try the delicious vareniki dumplings, said to be some of the best in Moscow."
