We’re Not in Sierra Madre Yet: But We’re Coming!

Dishes often include borscht (beet soup), pelmeni and vareniki (filled dumplings), blini (thin pancakes), stews and salads. Menus may draw on other Eastern European cooking too, so ask the restaurant what it serves.

Some soups, dumplings and pancakes can be made without meat, but many are made with meat or meat stock. Ask how a dish is prepared.

Many do, especially for parties. Ask the restaurant about booking, set menus, and whether there is a minimum for large groups.

Sour cream, eggs and wheat appear in many classic dishes. Tell the restaurant about your allergy and ask how the dish is made; Pros Around does not hold menus or ingredients.

Ask the restaurant for its current menu. Pros Around does not hold menus or prices, so check with the business.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
