Moscow Yummy Food tour

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!

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.
