Modern Sochi is undoubtedly one of the best places in Russia, especially when it comes to food and drink. There is no shortage of excellent restaurants in Sochi, but the trick is to head where the locals go. Sochi eateries provide better quality at affordable prices. Usually Moscow residents come together at one of the many local or international restaurants, where they’ll stay for the whole evening and sit over bottles of wine and conversation. We’ve found some of the most beloved restaurants locals frequent in Sochi.

Che? Harcho!

Restaurant, Russian

Created by the White Rabbit Family, Che? Harcho! is a beloved place for locals and visitors alike. Serving affordable dishes made from local ingredients delivered daily from nearby farms, the bar also has regular live music and shows sporting events on a big screen TV. You will always feel true hospitality here.

Voda is another favourite spot for locals in the city. If you find yourself hungry and in need of a little luxury, head toward Voda.

Chicha

Located in the heart of Sochi, this is the little brother of Chicha Moscow.
