Summary

Gastronomy is an important part of any tourism: besides the fact than you need to eat every day, in a new country there is always a chance to try something new - and finally love it! Learn to eat like a true Muscovite on this foodie-led walking tour, which skips the tourist track and takes you to straight to local favorites in the Ysachevskii food market! Venture to taste regional treats like smoked lard, red caviar, and Russian honey, and learn about the culinary heritage of the former USSR. You may enjoy dishes from Uzbekistan and Dagestan regions as well as taste former Soviet delicacies: Abkhazia tangerines, Caucasian curd, and Uzbek pilaf. Discover the history of the well-known Khamovniki district, including constructivist architecture. Get personalized input from your guide on other must-see Moscow attractions and local hotspots.

Tour info

Duration

3 hours

Why take this tour?

The history of Usachevsky Market dates all the way back to 1932, when it comprised a few street market aisles. In 2016 this market got a revamp and today it’s a hotspot for the hipster foodies of Khamovniki district (and further afield!) who come here to try out little eateries serving Georgian, Uzbek, Italian, Israeli and you-name-it cuisines, as well as shops representing small-scale Russian food producers, such as Kostroma Cheese. Tourists who manage to discover this hidden gem can delight their tastebuds with Kamchatka crab and bring back some black caviar for their family and friends back home. The stylish red brick and wooden exterior, colorful smoothie in hand, is highly Instagrammable! And check the market’s website regularly because there are cool events on almost every weekend.
