Kavkazskaya Plennitsa

The restaurant Kavkazskaya Plennitsa is one of the capital's most successful themed restaurants. It has been working since 1998 and since its very opening has been attracting guests with its hospitable and joyful atmosphere and with excellent cooking. The restaurant was created using the motif from the adored Soviet film, Kavkazskaya Plennitsa, or the New Adventures of Shurik. The soup list on its own is worthy of long Caucasian toasts: mountain ukha, kharcho, tatariakhli, chanakhi, chikhirtma. And then there are the shashliks, khinkali, lyulya, chakapuli, artala, chakhokhbili. In other words, you have to visit Kazkazskaya Plennitsa even if it is only for the opportunity to utter the cult saying, 'To live is good. But to live well is even better!'.
