Food is a significant item of expenditure. You have to eat outside the home for various reasons. At lunchtime, city cafes are packed with students, white collars, and tourists. But is it possible to eat a hearty meal for 200 rubles in Moscow? About inexpensive establishments with high-quality cuisine - in our material

Funky lab

A cozy gastro bar with a steampunk interior is located in the center of Moscow, near the Tretyakovskaya metro station. The creative idea of the restaurateur Alexander Viazhsky is similar to the constructor - both in terms of design and in matters of food decoration. So, borscht is served here in two plates: separately thick, separately broth. Eat it alternately or mix it up - the visitor decides. It's the same with salmon tartare and even ice cream.

The chef at Funky Lab is truly French, which is why the menu features dishes such as Burgundy beef, a variety of steaks and sauces. The "golden" time in the gastrobar is from 12:00 to 16:00. It is during these hours in the institution that you can taste an inexpensive soup of the day and a delicious budget salad for 120 rubles.

Location: st. Bolshaya Polyanka, 7/10, building 1

Working hours: from 12:00 to 00:00 seven days a week

"Canteen No. 57"

It would seem that the time of canteens is irretrievably running out. But this is not the case with this authentic culinary establishment, where dishes are prepared exclusively according to the book of recipes for delicious and healthy food. Canteen # 57, popular among Muscovites and guests of the capital, is located in one of the most important stores in Moscow - GUM. Probably, the owners of the establishment are very generous and welcoming people, because they often organize promotions, during which you can save a lot.

In addition to traditional meat and fish dishes, the dining room has a rich vegetable, fruit, lean menu, as well as pastries to order. Themed dishes (for example, soldier-style potatoes, “Strawberry Heart” biscuit) await visitors on the days of calendar holidays. Many come here for a breath of nostalgia for the Soviet past. The cost of meals ranges from 60-80 rubles.

This Uzbek restaurant is a creative project of the young restaurateur Maxim Agashkov. Its name speaks of the dominant dishes. An inexpensive establishment with a simple, cozy interior in white and red tones, located near the Taganskaya metro station. Bestsellers: samsa, pies, chicken broth, lamb manti, lagman.

"Marukame"

Noodles from the popular Japanese chain Marugame Seimen (whose brand dish is udon noodles with various additives) are an excellent option for a tasty and inexpensive lunch in the range of 180-200 rubles. The chain of Moscow cafes is modeled on Asian prototypes: a small hall, a separate kitchen with a distribution line connecting the locations. All dishes are cooked on the spot: from the large cauldron in which the famous thick sanuki-udon noodles are cooked, the steam is dispersed in a fog throughout the hall.

On the menu: kamaage udon (noodles with dashi broth sauce), ontama bukkake udon (noodles with soft-boiled eggs), tonkatsu udon (noodles in pork rib broth with pickled egg), etc., as well as salads and rolls.

A flight to Moscow for a few days is accompanied by the selection of a hotel for temporary accommodation and a place to eat. Reservation of rooms in hotels "Uninn" is carried out in advance, but it is really possible to take care of the food ration only after the plane lands at the airport.

Hot meals and drinks at the Yunin hotel

The reason is that the transportation of food by air is possible in certain quantities:

the volume of liquids and products in the luggage is not more than 100 ml (honey, cheese, drinking yoghurt, alcohol, jam);
the total volume of plastic packaging should not exceed 1 liter.

The exception is baby food for citizens flying with children under the age of 2 years. They can carry containers with liquid over 100 ml in their luggage.

Adults will not be able to prepare their own food for several days and transfer them to Moscow, so you should think about where it is better and more profitable to eat.

Features of catering places

In the airport building

As soon as the plane has landed, there is an opportunity to eat at local cafes in the Vnukovo airport building. For budget tourists, such food will become costly. In many places of public catering, prices for meals are 2 times higher than for the same products, but in cafes far from the airport or in canteens at hotels.

If the traveler has an unlimited financial budget, then this option will be quite suitable. The only thing to consider is the noise at the airport. Constant notifications about airplane departures, people speaking in different languages and phone calls can be annoying, especially for people accustomed to comfort at high cost.

Near the airport

Foods from one region may differ from another. Therefore, upon arrival in Moscow, one should remember that national food can be poorly perceived by the digestive organs. To avoid a deterioration in well-being and to save your financial resources, it is worth buying food in stores. As a rule, products familiar to a person from another country are always available on the shelves at a very affordable price.

In addition, when purchasing groceries in a store, you can arrive at a hotel or hotel and prepare a dish that suits you on your own. This option is suitable for those who have a lot of free time.

In hotels near Vnukovo airport

One of the most practical places to eat can be considered the hotel, where the room was booked for temporary accommodation. As a rule, the structure of the hotel has places for catering with affordable prices for tourists and fresh dishes. Guests do not need to spend time preparing food. All you need is to arrive at the hotel, check into your room and go down to the cafe that works at the hotel.

Cafe in the hotel "Uninn"

The advantage of choosing such a place to eat is to save time. The cafe is open all the time, which means you don't need to spend precious hours on trips to restaurants near the airport or to the center of the capital. The guest can eat at any hour of the day or be sure that upon arrival at the hotel he will not be hungry.

Along with this, the guest receives a comfortable meal. In the hotel cafe, customers are often the guests themselves. For those who live in such a hotel for several days, going to a cafe will not cause discomfort, since he will know where it is more convenient to sit, what is better to order.

The best option is food in a cafe from the hotel

Food is the most important issue for any traveler. So that hunger does not spoil the experience of tourism, you just need to choose the right place to eat. The most profitable and practical option would be a cafe in the hotel. There will always be a place for hotel guests and a suitable diet: fresh and tasty dishes at an affordable price.

I was with you. See you!

Slightly tired of the household stereotype to eat at home:
1. Cheaper.
2. Delicious
3. Less risk of poisoning.
4. Correct.

I don't understand quite modern, well-to-do people who have achieved a lot and ... who don't go to restaurants. They go shopping and stuff their big fridges with food and cook, cook, cook ....

Now I will smash these soviet stereotypes to smithereens.

1. Price... Eating at a restaurant is cheaper. It is a fact. I'm not talking about expensive restaurants. I'm talking about restaurants in the democratic segment near the house. And I'm not talking about large families with a grandmother in the state who cooks all day. I'm talking about modern small families for 2-3 people
Let's count. Foodcost Light Cafe 25%. Let me remind you that the Light Cafe http://lightcafe.ru is a democratic restaurant near the house, where all residents of the surrounding houses need to eat every day. 25% means that if I sold you something for 100 rubles, then it took me 25 rubles to get it.

But this is on average. Come on with examples
Coffee costs 100 rubles, the cost price is 10 rubles.
Fruit drink costs 50 rubles, the cost price is 3 rubles.
Tea costs 140 rubles, the cost price is 10 rubles.
Shawarma costs 290 rubles at a cost price of 90 rubles
Tibon steak costs 800 rubles at a cost price of 550 rubles
Beef stroganoff costs 350 rubles at a cost of 150 rubles.

Pay attention, I get super profits on drinks, on food everything is much worse. Half of the hot dishes on the menu have a food cost of 50% or even higher.

Let's assume for the sake of the purity of the experiment that the average food cost in the kitchen is 30%.
That is, a dish that is sold for 100 rubles costs me 30 rubles.

Markup hypermarkets 30% on average. This is if you take, say, the same large packages that I buy for a restaurant. Sugar in bags, cheese in 3 kg bars, meat in tons, and so on.

Let's try to buy ingredients for beef stroganoff in Okey. We will need:
1. Beef 400r per kg (300)
2. Champignons 250 rub per kg (180)
3. Bulb onions. 30 rub per kg (9)
4. Cream. 80 rub for 0.5l (60)
5. Potatoes 30 per kg (7)

I am silent about spices, butter, flour. Let's assume it is.

In brackets is the price at which I buy.
If you turn this into the cost of one serving, then I will cook beef stroganoff for 150 rubles. You are over 220 somewhere.
But there are nuances.
1. You cannot buy exactly the amount of potatoes you need. You will be left with a bunch of everything. Most of it will be thrown out. Or it will crumble somewhere, not because it is necessary, but because it does not disappear.
2. Walking around the store, you will surely collect a bunch of unnecessary things. Although okay, I will not talk about it. When you come to my restaurant, I will also gladly sell you an extra cup of coffee.

So buy Beef Stroganoff from me. For only 350 rubles.

In general, I conducted an experiment here, I decided to celebrate the New Year at home. For the first time since 2003. I celebrated all these years at work. I got 12,000 rubles for this New Year's dinner for two with drinks. AT HOME. With a bunch of cooking, dirty dishes and so on.

So do the math. Eating at a restaurant is cheaper. I have been living this way for many years. And this is not because I work in a restaurant, I eat in not only in my own. Recently, a refrigerator in my house broke down. It didn't bother me for about six months. Why do I need a refrigerator if I don't smoke?

2. Delicious.

Sometimes, an ordinary person can cook deliciously. Many even have their own specialties. But it is impossible to cook deliciously all the time. Cooking is a hell of a job. And as a result, the desire to eat at home slides into dumplings. So, of course, you can cook dumplings very tasty. And boil the kettle. But it is better to outsource the issue of power supply.
Believe me, a professional chef cooks better and tastier than you. And even your wife / grandmother / mother-in-law.
Sometimes, of course, I can change the wheel myself with a jack, in extreme cases, but more often somehow in the tire fitting ...

3. Less risk of poisoning.
Oh, those self-confident housewives. Oh, these soviet grandmothers who consider their kitchen sterile.
Do you see the rabbit? Me neither. But he is!
Violation of commodity neighborhood, ignorance of storage and cooking technologies, use of the same utensils for fish / meat / vegetables, etc. and the like. Not a single household kitchen will pass even the most purchased inspection of the SES. Unsanitary conditions, dirt, germs and something else are missing in your very clean kitchens.
I urge you to fill the refrigerator with wine and cheese, and use the stove only for the kettle.

4. Correct.
Eating at home is not right. Here are some more arguments.
- At home, you have no control over the portion size and eat much more. Hence the problem with being overweight.
- Eating at home and buying groceries in the hypermarket, you support big business and the stratification of society into rich and poor. I ate in a restaurant - I supported a small business. And Small Business is the backbone of the economy.
Eating at home, your family spends too much time buying, storing and cooking. The most irreplaceable resource is time.
- Eating at home is not romantic. Well, we are adults, eating at home is the way to everyday life and sex once a month.
- Eating at home - spend 30 minutes a day washing dishes. There are things an order of magnitude higher.

Dear restaurant guests. Yes, not everything is going smoothly in our restaurants. In general, this business is only 20 years old in our country. We (restaurateurs) ourselves do not know much. I admit that sometimes we also forget about some moments. I admit, we sometimes mow on trifles.

But we are growing. New restaurants open every day. They are more and more interesting, technologically advanced, and more diverse.

Help us. Scold us. Write reviews. Demand quality. And everything will be Ha-ra-sho in our restaurant business.

In the meantime, throw all this food out of the refrigerator and urgently find yourself a restaurant near your house. To just eat there every day. Such as Light Cafe. Meet the owner and the chef there. Take a look into the kitchen. Become a friend of the restaurant. Try it. You'll like it.

We continue to discuss the topic: "Popular questions arising during a vacation in the Crimea." I would like to dwell on the topic of food and nutrition. Alas, eating homemade healthy food on vacation won't be easy. We hope that our tips will help you avoid mistakes that can lead to serious health problems.

We will not talk about healthy eating, because there are terabytes of information on this topic on the Internet. Our goal is to maintain healthy digestion on vacation and attend excursions to palaces and wineries, and not to the pharmacy and infectious diseases department of the nearest hospital.

So, where is it better to eat in Crimea?

Let's consider several options in turn.Imagine a classic situation: sun-sea-beach, everyone is sunbathing and swimming. Sooner or later we will want to have a snack, preferably not far from the sea. Here in the field of view come tents with various fast food: shawarma, pasties, belyash and pies. Buying these fragrant "snacks" is fraught with not only a simple stomach upset, but also a huge number of gastrointestinal infections. Even if initially the meat is in shawarma and is fresh, then after 2-3 hours in the sun among flies, it cannot be eaten, and even more so to feed the children with it. Even if you feel dizzy from hunger, it is better to “freeze the worm” with ice cream, or take fruit to the beach, and then eat something safer. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the prices for beach fast food are very tempting, and many vacationers take the risk of eating pasties for 12-15 hryvnia / piece.

Consider another option - cook yourself.

If you want to minimize your health risks and save money, you can prepare your own meals. Fortunately, in the private sector and apartments, there is usually a kitchen or, at least, a stove. This is especially true if you are relaxing with a child.

In every resort town of Crimea, there is necessarily a small market where you can purchase the products you need. Lobsters and black caviar may not be there, but you can always buy vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, cottage cheese, milk.

A liter of milk on the market costs about 35 rubles / kg, cottage cheese - 200 rubles / kg. A kilogram of pork or beef will cost you no more than 240 rubles / kg, even in season. The prices for vegetables are as follows: potatoes 15-30 / kg, carrots 16 rubles / kg, cabbage 20 rubles / kg. Please note that these are 2012 prices. Food prices may vary depending on the resort. In Yalta, everything is more expensive by 10-20%, in Feodosia - on the contrary, it is cheaper.

Why are fruits in Crimea?

This question interests everyone who goes on vacation with a child. He must receive the necessary supply of vitamins for the whole year. Where else is there fruit, if not in the places where it grows.

At the height of the season, prices for fruits in Crimea are unjustifiably rising, but towards the end of August they become available again. A kilogram of delicious juicy apples will cost you 50-60 rubles / kg. Peaches ask for from 50 to 120 rubles. depending on the variety. Plums are sold for 50-70 rubles, and grapes - from 40-100 rubles. Figs have recently appeared on the shelves of the Crimean markets, although the price still leaves much to be desired: from 150 rubles / kg.

Alas, there is not always a kitchen on vacation, and often it is simply too lazy to cook. You came to rest in Crimea, and not stand at the stove. Hungry, we start feverishly looking for the coveted sign "Cafe" with our eyes, while it is desirable that it look more or less decent.

The simplest and most effective way is to ask the question: "Where is the best place to dine here?" local residents. One will not answer, the other will answer. Locals will not advise you on a place that you have not been to or doubt about. Another plus of this method is that the "natives" will not dine in expensive cafes. By following their advice, you can save a little. But remember, no matter how modest the cafe is, a portion of barbecue 200-300 grams will cost you as much as a kilogram of meat on the market, so you need to be prepared for this. The order of prices in catering establishments in Crimea is extremely fragmented. In a dining room in Evpatoria, a portion of borscht can cost 40 rubles, and in a restaurant in Alushta or Yalta - 400 rubles.

Feel free to ask the locals "Where to eat and buy wine".

Another burning question on vacation - where to buy wine... We strongly discourage buying this product on the street. Under the guise of wine, locals sell bodyagu, which they can't even call their tongues, let alone wine. There is only one way out - specialized stores from the Inkerman or Massandra factories.

Whichever type of food you choose on vacation, be vigilant. It is better not to buy a product that arouses the slightest suspicion. And you should refuse a salad "with a smell" in a cafe. Even if you are convinced that these are specific features of a dish or a “special” sauce, do not fall for it. Life and health are always more important than any convention.

A difficult quest to find places where you can eat inexpensively in the center of Moscow will be successfully completed with the help of our recommendations. In this post, we will not only talk about budget establishments, but also recommend where it is best to taste some especially interesting dishes of Eastern, Asian and Western cuisines: oysters, fondue, steaks, crayfish, lobsters, tom yam and others.

An inexpensive snack in the center of Moscow is not an easy task for a tourist. The metropolis is full of catering establishments of various price categories, but finding a good place with decent cuisine and reasonable prices is not always possible even for local residents, not to mention visitors.

A cup of natural coffee in a Moscow coffee shop is unlikely to cost less than 150 rubles. In the prestigious "Coffeemania" on the Arbat, coffee costs 300 rubles, in the "Bosco-bar" on Red Square - 350 rubles. It will be 1.5-2 times more expensive to have a sandwich with coffee here than to have a full lunch in some self-service establishment, of which there are a great many in the capital.

The main advantage of such establishments is prices... True, one cannot count on super-cheapness, it is not for nothing that the capital has been among the ten most expensive cities in the world for so many years. The average bill for a lunch is 300-350 rubles. In addition, most restaurants in the capital offer a business lunch in the range of 350-450 rubles, in bars and pubs you can find it for 250-300 rubles. But the portions are quite modest, so people with a good appetite will have to fork out a lot.

Below we list the places where you can eat tasty and inexpensive food in Moscow, and also tell you separately about the establishments where you can taste seafood (crabs, oysters, mussels, lobsters), crayfish and dishes of other cuisines at reasonable prices: oriental (shashlik, khash , khinkali, etc.), Asian (sushi and rolls, Peking duck, tom yum), European and American (steaks, duck, desserts and fondue).
