Gastronomic Samara: 5 reasons to go to the Volga resort for a delicious experience

The Volga resort is full of many interesting places that you wouldn’t even have enough weekend to see them all. Therefore, check out our short guide to the best gastronomic spots in Samara, which cannot be ignored.

Livingston is perhaps the most unusual restaurant in Samara, causing a storm of contradictory feelings. Some fall in love with it at first sight, while others (this is more of a warning to ardent animal rights activists!) swear to never return.

It’s all about the unique interior: here, in different rooms, more than 30 exhibits of rare animals are collected, immersing each guest in the atmosphere of Africa.

Even if trophy hunting isn’t your thing, you’ll get vivid impressions of the cuisine here. The dishes combine the spirit of Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Israel and Lebanon with touches of India. From there, such interesting dishes as spicy turkey hearts, Kenyan salad with beans, avocado and tomatoes, Israeli petitim with saffron, Indian stewed soup and Arabic kebab were born on the menu. Try traveling!

Coming to Samara and not tasting Volga crayfish is a real crime! In the restaurant on the territory of the Lastochka yacht club, they will certainly be cooked in a way that will please you: according to the chef’s secret recipe, a fresh apple is added to the cauldron, which completely eliminates the specific smell of mud.

Here you can also taste rich fish soup with fish pie, baked fish and the beauty of Volga sunsets seen from the modern marina. Be sure that photos against the backdrop of snow-white boats will also turn out to be luxurious.

Nightlife in Samara is also in full swing. There are several artistic centers in the city, where you can not only immerse yourself in contemporary art, but also spend a pleasant evening in the company of friends over aromatic liqueurs and exclusive cocktails.

In the Ryumochka bar, for example, you can not only dance to your heart’s content, but also enjoy jazz or watch classic films in a bedroom atmosphere. The interior, thought out down to the smallest detail, deserves special attention here: even one evening is not enough to examine all the details.

A visit to this cafe can be advantageously combined with a visit to the Museum of Art Nouveau, as it is located directly in its courtyard. Here you can not only taste unusual coffee drinks prepared according to original recipes and taste delicious desserts, but also immerse yourself a little in the history of the city.

Particular attention deserves the large-scale composition on the ceiling, where you can play a maze while waiting for your order and find the most emblematic places on the city map, marked with cups.

Leaving Samara without tasting beer? Impossible, incomprehensible! In a spacious restaurant on the Volga embankments, you can taste all types of foam brewed at the Zhigulevsky brewery.

The interior in a typical English style, as well as the delicious cuisine and entertainment program, are also attractive here. Some days you can spend a pleasant evening in the establishment listening to the wonderful sounds of the violin, and on others you can listen to jazz and blues.
