xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Щи да ка́ша, пи́ща
  5. на́ша</em></span></strong></span>» "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine..." If only it were that
  6. simple! Food: how to get it, how to cook it and finally, how to eat it, has occupied the
  7. thoughts of Russians in everything from classic works of literature to everyday life. Open
  8. Gogol's famous novel «<span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Мёртвые
  9. ду́ши</em></span></strong></span>» Dead Souls to almost any page, and you'll be greeted
  10. with detailed descriptions of all kinds of culinary delights as experienced by the intrepid
  11. Chichikov. And this is just one example! Even the casual reader of Russian literature or the
  12. viewer of Russian painting will find that food has played an integral part in Russian life
  13. down through the years, across class lines and in and out of the arts.</p><p>As you read in the previous lesson, shopping for food in the Soviet period was, more often
  14. than not, an adventure. The same could be said for a night out at а <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">рестора́н</em></span></strong></span> restaurant. Just as
  15. good-quality housing was in short supply, good restaurants were few and far between in those
  16. days. And the best ones were simply off limits to the common folk.</p><p>Not so any more! Moscow and St. Petersburg alike now boast a large number of restaurants
  17. which cater to nearly every cuisine and taste imaginable. As with stores, some of these are
  18. foreign-owned, some are joint ventures and still others belong wholly to Russians. In any
  19. case, you will find that together with variety comes unpredictability: high-priced isn't
  20. always a guarantee of high-quality; high-quality one day does not guarantee it the next... And
  21. service? The same holds true: sometimes you're lucky, and sometimes you're not. The Russians
  22. themselves are painfully aware of the reputation their service has acquired over the years and
  23. many establishments are trying hard to emulate what they consider a Western standard of good
  24. service. They've even gone so far as to state in their help-wanted ads that "anyone having
  25. prior experience in Soviet restaurants need not apply".</p><p>It is a good idea to keep in mind that, for many Russians, a night out in a restaurant is
  26. an event, and there is little reason to rush. What we might perceive as slow service is simply
  27. the staff's understanding that, if you're out to enjoy yourself, why hurry? If you are in a
  28. hurry, on the other hand, you'd best tell your <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">официа́нт</em></span></strong></span> waiter or <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">официа́нтка</em></span></strong></span> waitress that ahead
  29. of time.</p><p>As in most restaurants in this country, reservations are encouraged at Moscow and St.
  30. Petersburg establishments. It's now possible, and quite easy to pick up the phone and call for
  31. reservations by saying:</p><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table class="informaltable" width="100%" border="0"><colgroup><col class="c1"/><col class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Я хочу заказать столик</em></span></td><td>I'd like to reserve a table</td></tr><tr><td><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">на имя...

  34. <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">буфе́ты</em></span></strong></span> snack
  35. bars on some floors; pretty handy when all you want is a cup of coffee or tea and a sandwich.
  36. You'll also find <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">кафе</em></span></strong></span>́ cafe or <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ночно́й бар</em></span></strong></span> night bar which caters to the late-night crowd and
  37. serves alcoholic and other beverages, coffee and snacks. The night bars will often have some
  38. kind of "show", either in the form of live entertainment or recorded music.</p><p>If you're staying in hotels, regardless of whether they're in Moscow, St. Petersburg or
  39. elsewhere, you'll find that <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">за́втрак</em></span></strong></span> breakfast is usually included in your room charge. In
  40. many of the tourist hotels, this is in the form of a <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">шве́дский стол</em></span></strong></span> breakfast buffet which might
  41. include cheese, sausages and bread for sandwiches; some sort of salad, <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">каша</em></span></strong></span> hot cereal, fried eggs,
  42. fruits, mineral water, juice, coffee and tea. Of course, if you're travelling first-class,
  43. there'll be room service as well.</p><p>Keep in mind that most Russians like to have <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">обе́д</em></span></strong></span> dinner, a big meal in the middle of the
  44. day. In a restaurant, this will likely include appetizers, soup and a main course. <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">У́жин</em></span></strong></span> supper, the
  45. evening meal is lighter and soups are usually not offered in restaurants then. However, you'll
  46. always find exceptions to this "rule".</p><p>What follows is a list of restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg. We don't guarantee
  47. that any or all of these establishments will still be operating when you get there, and we
  48. can't vouch for their quality as well!</p><p><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Прия́тного
