The Best Breakfast And Brunch Spots In Nizhny Novgorod

An old Russian proverb states that ‘you should have your breakfast yourself, share your lunch with a friend and give your dinner to your enemy.’ Whether you agree with that or not, the fact remains that breakfast is a very important meal of the day. If you’re headed to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and happen to find yourself in Nizhny Novgorod one morning, here are your best breakfast and brunch spots.

1. Mr Keks

Cafe, Contemporary, Vegetarian, Vegan

Mr Keks is a lovely little café in the heart of the city. It serves delicious coffee, many different cakes and a variety of breakfast and brunch options, making it an ideal place to visit on a lazy Sunday morning.

2. Angliiskoe Posolstvo

Bar, Gastropub, British, Beer

If you’re craving something familiar, Angliiskoe Posolstvo (English Embassy) is the place to go. Dark furniture and wooden panels on the walls make this spot look like a real English pub. They also serve authentic English breakfast every day starting at 8 am, and the breakfast menu is available until 4 pm on the weekends.

3. Coffee Cake

Cafe, Coffee Shop, Contemporary, European, Coffee

Coffee Cake specialises, quite obviously, in coffee and cakes. Their breakfast and lunch menu, however, is quite impressive. It is a cosy, casual café, excellent for a good start to a busy day.

5. Bezukhov

Cafe, Restaurant, Russian, European

Bezukhov is an elegant place serving classic Russian and European cuisine with an original spin. It’s a warm and cosy spot, full of books and eclectic furniture. At Bezukhov, you don’t need to compromise on anything; it is open 24 hours per day, and so is their breakfast menu.

6. Papasha Billi

Restaurant, North American, Russian, American, Mexican

Papasha Billi is a unique take on a Wild West saloon. It’s open 24 hours a day, and their hearty portions will satisfy the most ravenous of appetites.

7. Chef’s Cafe

Cafe, Contemporary, Russian

Chef’s Cafe is a café by day and a bar by night, but it is a great place for breakfast as well, where everyone will find something on the varied menu. Chef’s Cafe sits a bit off the main tourist track, so on top of delicious coffee and food, it also provides a truly local experience.
