Where To Eat Cheap In Moscow?

Where to eat cheap in Moscow?

Tasty, fast, inexpensive – usually it is very difficult to find a place that will fit all the three criterias. I know it myself too. I moved to Moscow when I was a student and as most of the students I was really low on money.

There are a lot of foreign students traveling to Moscow or studying in here. That’s why I decided to tell you about six places where you can have a good dinner in the center of Moscow and pay only around 300 rubles (around USD 5.5). Bon appetit, friends!
