👍👍 Good-quality food. I got the fried meat pelmeni (mini-dumplings). Beautiful presentation. The price seemed a little bit high, though. Not way overpriced, but I expected to get a little bit more food for what a paid. People often mention Russian, good, price, recommend, restaurant, service,

    This place is hands down my favorite place for breakfast and lunch. Great coffee and amazing crepes both sweet and savory. Also you must try their Russian dumplings (Pelmeni). They are to die for. The owners are very friendly and inviting. There is seating for about 12 people. Half inside and half outside.

    Is a hidden gem. I really love their food as far as I know the owners are a Russian lady with a Panamanian husband (speaks russian too) so they are a powerful duo and the attention is beyond amazing and kind. When all the places for brunch are full I always come here because they have amazing breakfast and for a good amount of money and good portions. Lunch is amazing also and for people vegetarian they have plenty sweet options and always willing to adapt to your needs. Super authentic russian food so, is super worthy. (I have recommended to russians and they adore the place) The restaurant is small so is really not for going with many people (4/5 maximum for table) but is super tasty I highly recommend it to taste something different and I love the decorations and souvenirs from this place, super cozy and cute. Sometimes they close early so contact them to see their schedules.

    This is the only Russian restaurant in the city. Located at the heart of Obarrio, this place serves food with authentic flavors. Tried the Pelmenis in broth and the Blinis, simply delicious.

    It supposed ti be cheese pancakes(syrniki) and I got oily semolina cakes(mannik) without any cheese added. It was 3 small oily, gooey rounds with 1 teaspoon of sour cream. Terrible taste.

    Best Russian cuisine I tasted outside of Russia. But, the main thing is the service. One day we had a brunch there, everything was normal, maybe a bit longer than usual. But owners declined my intend to pay saying that service today is not so good as they are expecting. This is great and place with soul! Highly recommend !!!

    I have never been to a Russian restaurant before, so this was a very new experience for me. One that I greatly enjoyed! The dumplings were fantastic as were the Blinis. Little more expensive than other places but worth it.

  • 5/5 Geuvera P. 1 year ago on Google
    I heard about this place recently and had to go. The main dishes are a bit more than I like to pay at around $9 generally. This is a tourist area a bit though and you have to know where to eat for a good price here. The food was very good but if you get drink also the price is to high. Some juice should be included for that price. The service was good but they lost a star for me having to ask him to switch to Spanish when the expectation was set at Spanish. He switched when asked unlike some places that didn't and have 1 star.

    I never tasted Russian food before. So I cannot say it’s real Russian food but the food I ordered was good. I may try other menu one day soon. The service was good and the atmosphere of restaurant was pretty interesting to me. And plus for beverage I ordered was “Dalgona” iced coffee which is from Korea. However, as I’m Korean, it’s not real one.

  • 5/5 Master Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The only worthy restaurant that earns the title of russian food all over panama. They have the classics of russian cuisine and the flavor profile is outstanding. Very satisfied with the food. 10/10

  • 5/5 Strategyhero G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is Russian food for real. It could be different sometimes, but it’s normal, “pelmeni” varies from region to house. I like the details of cafe, you will find a lot of authentic posters and Russian culture details. Besides, I live in Panama for two months already and this place shares with Nasca21 best value for money, while Russian foodies is family cafe and has it's own cozy vibe. Highly recommended ❤️ P.s. Breakfast is crazy, you may spend 20$ for both, and you will not be able to move after )))

    Yummy syrniki and the blinchiki are great too. Taste of home. Important to note the hour change!

  • 5/5 Marcel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the honey cake. Sadly I was in a rush and couldn't say to try other dishes. I'm very curious about this food. I'll return soon.

    Very authentic russian food, incredible to find such a high quality restaurant in Panama, also. The prices are very affordable.

  • 5/5 Jerzy W. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a blini with cherry marmalade. It was so good so I had no choice and next day I came back to repeat the pleasure. You can also sharpen practice your Russian as I discoved the owner speaks a bit.

  • 4/5 Milena M. 10 months ago on Google
    Interesting place on the culinary map of Panama. I liked the Russian books and music, the owners are really nice. And the food is good, but really small portions as for the price... Vegetarian options that are not sweet is dumplings with potato, recommend it
