Pirozhki
Пирожки
Small boat-shaped pies, baked or fried, filled with minced meat, mashed potato, cabbage, mushrooms, or egg with spring onion, and sweet versions with apple, cherry or jam. Sold on Moscow's streets, they are an honest taste of everyday Russian food, and the potato and cabbage fillings are meat-free.
Halal dining can be arranged at every hotel we recommend; tell us your preferences and we brief the chefs before you arrive.
