“Help yourself, please!” or Where to have lunch?!

When students come to our Russian Language School, they usually have intensive time-table! And of course a hearty lunch must be!
In this article we decided to help our students to find out where to go for a lunch!

Since Russian Language School is situated in the building of Pedagogical College, we have a canteen! This is the best place for public catering!!! But sometimes it happens that the canteen is closed! For example when the students are on holidays! That’s why we offer our students to have lunch in different cafes, restaurants, pancake-cafes.

The nearest one is called “Deja-vue”. This is a great little cafe directly opposite to the Severnaya Hotel. The main attraction is the fact that you can get a REAL coffee J . With milk and sugar! It is so tasty!

The menu offers a huge number of different meals from soups and salads to meat and fish! The Staff are pleasant and very understanding .

The next restaurant is situated not far from Lenin Avenue! It is called “Karelskaja Gornitsa” ("Karelian chamber"). This is the only place on the Earth where you can try traditional Karelian dishes in unique interior, which imitates the traditional hut of Karelian peasant.  It is worth just opening the menu so that to feel a conquering atmosphere of traditional eating ritual. Bear's meat, elk's meat, venison, tender fish, berries, mushrooms . All of the foodstuff is being lain in a stock at our local hunters, fishermen and reliable farmers. Modern equipment helps to recreate an oven effect so that to bring a maximum reachable level of basis taste and wholesomeness. The portions are really big - so that leaving the restaurant you feel like you've just visited your grandmom, who only dream was to feed you for the rest of your life! But be ready to pay for the delicacy!

“Kivach” is located right in the center of Petrozavodsk, on the other side of the State University, it is one of the favorite places of visiting by youth and tourists. It offers good food, good serving and nice music. The atmosphere is very comfortable.

Kaffe Haus was opened not very long ago and located right in the center near Severnaya Hotel. It is very cozy inside. Different tasty desserts, ice-cream, cocktails are for you here.

If you want to have a snack and to get acquainted with a typical Russian dish ''Bliny'' (Pancakes), it is the best place to drop in! ''Chainaja lozhka'' (''Tea spoon") is located in the center of the town, at the Lenin avenue, not far away from the University. It is the favorite meeting point of students and other people. Here you can drink a cup of tea and choose among the different arts of Bliny: with honey, jam, chicken, champignons and others...Fast service and nice stuff! All Blinys are worth of tasting! Dont stop, try more! You will like it for sure:-)

Parizhanka  The most popular is “La Parisienne” («Парижанка»). Its cafes spread in all over Petrozavodsk. The one is situated not from our school! The menu offers you European and Eastern cuisine. The atmosphere is very warm and romantic. This place is very popular among students. But there is one thing to know about this café – the stuff is rather slowly! You’ll have to wait about 20min just for the cup of coffee!

So dear friends, do not starve!!! You need forces to study well :)
