Reviewed By Linda L - Vancouver, Canada
This restaurant was recommended by our interpreter, Irina. She said the food was really good and the menu was translated into English. She was right - the food WAS good. We found the menu descriptions to be understated, but when the food arrived it was beautifully presented and delicious. The pea soup comes in a bread bowl (photo attached). The staff speak very little English, so use the Google Translate app if you need to.
The ambiance of the restaurant gives you the feeling like you've stepped into somebody's grandmother's living room. Lots of mis-matched antique chairs, tables and cabinets, beautiful China sets, old photos on the walls....it was a very homey feeling. We really enjoyed our dinner here.

Ukrainian restaurant, not far from the Gorkovskaya metrostation. Maybe not that easy to spot, but truly a great place to have dinner or lunch. Ukrainian food is somewhat different from Russian, so worth checking it out. The borsch - soup was really a top notch, best I´ve eaten. Staff was really polite and nice, and compliment vodkas on the house came before the maincourse and after dessert.. 5/5, please do go :)

Encouraged by many positive reviews decided to go for early dinner.
Generally quality of food was disappointing - I have tried gazpacho which was far away from soups I have tried before. Chicken was ok hit nothing special.
Service - excellent, really trying their best.
If you do not expect too much from food and don't want to pay a lot of money this place might be worth visiting.

Been twice, unless my conversion rate deceives me the steaks are 40 pounds to 80 pounds, is that right, 1400 - 3000 roubles as I recall,
The Rib eye I had was the fattiest piece of rubbish I had ever eaten. If I was paying I would have thrown it back.
The rest is pretty good though. Good service, good food, wine range . The desserts were fabulous.
5. Franky
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 275 reviews
Franky Bar is a genuine embodiment of American culture, aesthetics and lifestyle as they were in the first half of the XXth century. Not much time has passed since Prohibition was revealed and the Golden Age of cocktails in America began. What is very distinguishing about this place is its atmosphere which comes directly from the surroundings. Being located in the heart of the city, Franky Bar is still hidden at a rather exclusive spot. Aromas of coffee, Sinatra's sweet voice, twilight...This is something that fills the atmosphere here. In our bar card you'll find pure old-school recipes as well as many original cocktail specials. For those who love experiments we offer just to tell the barmen which beverage to choose as a cocktail basic part. Though if it's too hard to choose, you won't be asked too many questions. Some polished movements and you get the cocktail which reads your mood and matches the time. Franky Bar is a place where a life well savoured with classic cocktails presents us with such a unique gift as luxurious rest filled with meaning.

Franky is just a few meters from the beginning of Bolshaya Pokrovka street (the uphill end, near Gorky Square) and is one of the two very good cocktail bars in Nizhny, the other being the Beriozka bar just a few meters around the corner from Franky. Which you prefer depends upon the mood you want.
Franky is an upscale, calm place with decor like a fine club. Oil painting portraits of famous cocktail culture personalities like Hemingway and Sinatra are on the walls. It's a great place for conversation. Pavel, the former head barman from Beriozka now can be counted up on to mix the best Manhattans in Nizhny at Franky. For a truly special Manhattan, choose the version using Utah's High West Double Rye whiskey.
I've never eaten here so I can't comment on the food, but it is a perfect place for grown ups to visit on a classy date. Beriozka is great if you want more of a night club scene with nonstop music but for conversation and great, expertly-made cocktails without all the ruckus in the background this is the place.

The only problem with this place is that its interior kind of doesn't correspond with the food it serves. The food's excellent, very authentic, but the decor reminds me more of a bar or coffeeshop than a restaurant. Too casual for the price tag? Anyway delicious food, not too much wait, good beer.

It's probably the best place in Minnie Novgorod. The coffee is really good and they offer different methods of making it starting from Turkish way to Siphon. Interior is hipster style, but looks like designers worked well on it. Service is nice, for every cup of coffee they also serve you with a lovely biscuit.

Cosy conversations at evenings,children's laugh during the afternoon, live Concerts, hammocks and rush of inspiration. It's possible here to chat with bartender about cocktails making secrets or ask chef how to cook european or georgian dishes. To be astonished here is not the difficult task, to get in love - incredibly easy.

We met with some friends in the eveing for a few drinks and some small food.
The selection is big and the food menu as well looks good.
The drinks and food is well presented and, even more important, very tasty. The bar/restaurant is in the middle of the old town and just a few minutes from the kremlin away. It's a great place to escape the cold weather outside.!

Reviewed By Лора О - St. Petersburg, Russia
This restaurant was fantastic. My husband and I went here based on reviews, and they were spot on.
The decoration follows the "Ekspeditsia" idea - everything looks rough and outdoorsy, lots of maps. But the tables are nice and the chairs are quite comfortable.
The food is fantastic. First, they brought us a bread basket. I have lived in Russia for 6 years and this is the FIRST TIME I have received a free bread basket. The braed was delicious. We drank their homemade mors - both cranberry and bilberry and it was also great. Over the course of our four day stay we ate here twice, and therefore managed to eat quite a lot. Therefore, we can personally recommend: the deer sausage, duck salad, wild boar, wildfowl and deer burger.
The only minus is thinking too hard about what you are eating. I couldn't order the moose, even though it's probably also great.
