Best Food Venues in the Mountain Resorts of Sochi
Contributor / Journalist
When you’re on vacation in the mountains there is nothing better than relaxing and dining after a day full of adventures, sports and sightseeing. Taking a pit stop at a mountain restaurant to warm up with a gluhwein is very romantic, especially during the winter season. Here are our favourite places with breathtaking views in Sochi & Adler region for you to try.
Che? Harcho!
Restaurant, Russian
One of a very popular chain of Black Sea cuisine restaurants by White Rabbit Family. Serving affordable dishes made from local ingredients that are delivered daily from local farms, the bar also has regular live music & sport events on the huge wide screen. You can always feel true Caucasian hospitality here.
Chicha
Restaurant, Bar, Peruvian, Pub Grub
All the fine traditional Peruvian dishes and tasty cocktails are here at Chicha. Cazuela soup, ceviche, home-made causa, fish dishes with Peruvian fruits – and plenty more. Don’t forget to try bright green liquor made from coca leaves and guarana.
Red Fox
Restaurant, Russian
Red Fox restaurant is the flagship project of White Rabbit Family in Sochi. With Southern Russian cuisine on offer, it’s located at the modern Rosa Khutor ski resort. The menu has been created by talented Russian chef Vladimir Mukhin who uses only local ingredients and creates culinary masterpieces. Red Fox has been frequented by famous politicians, businessmen and athletes, while documentaries from BBC and CNN channels brought the restaurant worldwide fame. Book in advance, it is expensive but the food quality is the best and the restaurant is always full.
Traktir Trikoni
Restaurant, Italian
There’s a time and place for the trendy hotspots in Sochi area, but sometimes you just crave some good traditional and nourishing courses and this place is a right choice. Offering a vast choice of typical Italian plates, breakfast and brunch options, the best coffee and an amazing view. This is a very popular option.
Surf Coffee
Cafe, Contemporary
Surf Coffee Cafe, located in the beautiful village of Rosa Khutor, is the little brother of a popular chain of surfer cafes in Moscow. The vibe of the venue is very laid back and cool with the original surfing interiors reflecting the same modern riders aesthetic. Great coffee and surely the best place for those who prefer to hang with friends before hitting the slopes.
