Eat like a Muscovite in a stolovaya canteen

Sobre este Tip
A stolovaya is a self-service canteen where you take a tray, point at dishes and pay at the end. Try Grabli on Pyatnitskaya near Novokuznetskaya metro or Mu-Mu in the Okhotny Ryad mall. Filling the tray raises the bill fast, so pick one dish, a side and a drink. Locals favor weekday set lunches that run roughly noon to four; avoid the busiest stretch between half past one and three. Skip restaurants that advertise European and Caucasus cuisine together, as they mostly cater to tourists.
