While it’s wonderful to splurge on a fancy dinner every now and then, adventurous travellers often find themselves in need of a quick and affordable lunch on the go or a cosy, pleasant place for an inexpensive dinner. If you’re headed to Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, happen to be in Nizhny Novgorod for a little while and need dining options that won’t break the bank, here is your guide to the best budget-friendly eats.
If you’re a meatball fan, Freakadely is a must-try. It is a cosy, casual place that sits a little off Bolshaya Pokrovskaya, one of Nizhny Novgorod’s main streets. The simple, yet mouth-watering menu includes beef and chicken meatballs, falafel, chips and different kinds of cider. It’s a perfect spot for a quick meal on the go.
If you’re looking for a truly local experience, try Kremlevskaya Stolovaya. A stolovaya is a traditional Russian fast-food buffet, with pre-prepared dishes usually displayed in big, heated containers. Therefore, no knowledge of Russian is necessary to order. This dining venue serves a variety of traditional Russian recipes, most of them involving some meat; it is not the best place for vegetarians. Kremlevskaya Stolovaya is especially famous for their pastries.
