Perm is not just an embarrassing hairstyle of the 80s – it is also a city in Russia, your gateway to Asia on the Trans Siberian journey. While it isn’t very well known, it is a fascinating place worth visiting. When you do stop to explore, you will get hungry in no time, and when you do, here is a list of the seven best restaurants in Perm.

Karin

Restaurant, Russian, Contemporary

Karin is by far the most elegant restaurant in Perm. Located on the first floor of the Hilton Garden Inn, it serves a balanced mix of Russian and international cuisines. It is an excellent location for an important date or a celebratory dinner. The restaurant is open 24 hours a day and serves delicious breakfasts and lunches too.

Sister’s Bar

Bar, Restaurant, Russian, Contemporary

Located on the corner of Komsomolskaya and Lenina Streets, Sister’s Bar is a restaurant in the very heart of Perm. Its modern interiors match its experimental cuisine. Their large terrace is open in the summers, giving a wonderful view of the city centre. Sister’s Bar is not only a restaurant and a bar, but it also hosts events and lectures.

Mishka.Food

Cafe, Restaurant, Contemporary, Coffee

Mishka.Food is a rustic restaurant serving a mix of different cuisines. Burgers are their absolute speciality, but they serve excellent waffles and soups too. This spot is perfect for a hearty breakfast or lunch.

Gastroport

Restaurant, Peruvian

Gastroport is a very unexpected point on the gastronomic map of Perm. It is a Peruvian restaurant specialising in steaks and seafood. It lies on the picturesque banks of the Kama River and is an excellent place for a scenic lunch or dinner.

Drugoe Mesto

Restaurant, European, Vegetarian

Drugoe Mesto is a European restaurant with a Balkan twist, and the interior resembles a cosy little street in France or Italy. It is a great place for a quick lunch or a big celebration. The restaurant specialises in meat dishes, so it’s probably not the best place to go with a vegetarian.

PachaMama

Restaurant, Vegetarian

Another unexpected place in Perm’s culinary scene is PachaMama, a cute little café serving a variety of vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan dishes. It is also the centre of the vegetarian and vegan community in Perm, organising workshops, concerts and lectures. It is a cosy, slightly quirky place definitely worth visiting when you get a little tired of traditional Russian cuisine, which tends to be on the heavy side.

Khutorok

Restaurant, Cafe, Russian

Khutorok is a chain of affordable restaurants serving traditional Ukrainian and Russian cuisines. The interior is very cosy, and the food is delicious. There is always a Khutorok somewhere on your way; therefore, it is a perfect place to have a meal on just about any day of your trip.
