When you come to Lesnoe Ozero, you’ll learn meal-time and food vocabulary before each meal. Then, you’ll enjoy each meal served family style, so you can practice your Russian with your friends as you pass dishes or ask for seconds.
Russians love bread, and no table at Lesnoe Ozero is complete without thick aromatic slices cut from a fresh loaf. Traditional Russian salads, including Vinagret, which is made with vinegar, beets, potatoes, pickles and other vegetables, are popular starters at Lesnoe Ozero. Borscht (beet soup) is a staple, but so are soups made from fish, chicken or cabbage.
For the main dish, you may eat fried chicken or pelmeni (dumplings), kotlety (small, egg-shaped individual portions of meatloaf) or shashlyk (shishkabobs). On the side you’ll find noodles, rice, or potatoes. Our chefs plan menus keeping our villagers’ satisfaction in mind, and the word among Lesnoe Ozero villagers is that everything is delicious!
The seasons even play a role in the menu choices at Lesnoe Ozero.
