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!
