Dining out lately.

(This post has a Russian version.)

I don’t really go out much. (This probably shows.) Below are some photos I’ve taken over the months of visiting various eateries. Strangely enough, I haven’t taken photographs each time, so there isn’t that much.

Most photos taken with my phone, so come with low expectations.

“Lazy vareniki” at Taxi Blues. Meh.

Lots of meat at Maximillian. Good.

Coffee at Vasabi. Looks pretty. Tastes OK.

Coffee and cheesecake at Uptown. Coffee is not memorable; don’t order cheesecake.

(Don’t order a Bloody Mary either. Who puts cilantro into a Bloody Mary? Sadists, that’s who.)

A surprisingly good coffee in one of the eateries at Jumbo. Can’t remember the name.

A very sad brunch at Tucano Coffee. Come on, guys. Stop bullshitting your way through complacency.

Pizza, fried courgette, and coffee at my favourite local pizzeria chain, Pizza Mania.

Courgette was seasonal, but I’d skip it.

Two of my favourite things in one, a Caesar salad and a pizza. Surprisingly nice.

Bad coffee at Vasabi.

Seaweed salad (I can probably eat five portions of this in one seating) and rolls.

Someone told me that the kitchen at Torro Grill was bad. I was passing by, so I went in.

The Caesar salad. (I’m nothing if not predictable.) It was very salty.

The Tiramisu of Gods. It’s huge – I could barely finish it – and very, very fresh.

Regarding the kitchen – I’ve been there again, and I disagree. The kitchen is fine.

Mykonos Greek restaurant at the Mall. My favourite dessert in the history of desserts. This one actually belonged to my friend. I ate mine already.

Buddha Bar before the renovations.

I haven’t been after the reopening, so whatever I say now is probably irrelevant.

img_20160722_210424

“Fried ice-cream”. My favourite thing. This particular one was meh. Eaten at a cafe that had closed down soon after.

img_20161009_130048

Lunch at Fish-ka.

img_20161009_130605

img_20161009_131223

Like I said, I’m nothing if not predictable. So I ordered deep fried cheese.

img_20161009_131656

And a salad with chicken liver, served warm.

I’m hungry now.
