Price Chart for Russian Restaurants in Brooklyn
Brighton Beach
Often called “Little
Odessa” because of its strong Ukrainian community, Brighton Beach
is equally called “Little Russia” because of its vibrant and ubiquitous Russian
community. Originally made up mostly of Russian Jews (immigrated in the late
1960s) the community has now grown to include a much wider Russian demographic.
Unlike many of the watered down foreign communities across the United States , Brighton Beach
is as Russian as it gets and doesn’t really try to cater to tourists. This is
ideal for outsiders as you are treated to the everyday lives of this Russian
community and it provides a sense of authenticity. On a stroll down Brighton Beach ’s streets you will see a plethora
of Russian delis, butchers, cafes, book stores, and clothing boutiques. Often
when entering stores, you are greeted in Russian, but if you appear confused,
English is almost always a second option. If you plan on making an entire day
trip out of it, you’ll be amazed to see the transformation as restaurants turn
into night clubs. When it comes to getting a taste of Russia without actually visiting the beautiful
country, Brighton
Beach is definitely a
must visit.
Some of the
neighborhood treats include:
Winter Garden: The
Winter Garden, located on the boardwalk of Brighton Beach
is a pleasant place to sit and drink great Russian beer over a nice
conversation. The Winter Garden is at the end of a row of Russian eateries and
provides colorful décor and delicious food. We recommend any of their salads
and grilled meats.
Address: 3152 Brighton 6th
Street , Brooklyn , NY 11235
Primorski Restaurant : Opened in 1981, Primorski Restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and a grilled lamb to die for. Other treats include the breaded chicken and the mix of chopped chicken and mushrooms.
Address: 3152 Brighton 6th
Street , Brooklyn , NY 11235
Address: 230 Brighton Beach Avenue , Brooklyn , NY 11235
Getting to Brighton Beach via subway is your best bet.
Simply take the Q or B to the Brighton
Beach stop.
If you can’t make it

establishments in Manhattan

you’ll feel like Russian royalty as soon as you walk in.

Brooklyn Russian restaurants top the list, and while some of them are high end,
many of them will be quite friendly to your pocket book.

different dishes) menu with delicious food that you might not even remember the
next day because you'll be having so much fun at the show and will be so busy dancing,
