I'll assume the check is in the mail.  :)
When I have eaten there and the steak is passable.

MozPizza in Evpatoria also claimed they could do steak.

Come to think of it, if I see how much tekst they put beneath rib-eye steak opposed to the rest of the menu they don't make it too attractive  :(

Most seem to like it. But it has a varied menu.

Перекресток. Yeah, I thought the links might not work for some, but they worked for me.


Perekrestok!?!?!  I shopped there sometimes. never saw good beef patties. they usually had ready made food which wasn't the best. maybe your tastes and mine aren't the same...

I'd go to the Hard Rock cafe on Arbat for a good burger. it'll cost you over 1000 rubles though.

I used a $1 = 65 ruble rate which has been consistently about this range since 2015 (even though it's now around 80, which makes the meat even more affordable for someone like me who still has 95% of my money in $ :P). Prices are the same everywhere.

You're getting paid in $...good man!  I got paid in foreign currency too. less risk than with the ruble.

Thanks Bill. Not sure how long I'll stick around, we'll see.

I'm sure our tastes are different, however, I go to 4 different markets to get what I need; Перекресток, Ашан, Магнолия, и Азбука Вкуса.

To be honest, it was the first time I had seen an Angus beef patty like the one I bought. Мираторг have their own stores around Moscow now, but of course you can pick up their products at different outlets.

I rarely, if ever, buy ready made food at Перекресток or anywhere for that matter. I usually get jalapeños, certain vegetables and some coffee cocktails that I can only find there  I'm fairly discriminating about what I put in my body, intermittent fast (16/8), train 5-6 days a week and do 90% of my cooking at home. Think Mediterranean diet :). I do like a good steak every now and then though.

I'd go to the Hard Rock cafe on Arbat for a good burger. it'll cost you over 1000 rubles though.
Don't go to the Arbat much anymore, but I must say that the Hard Rock has the best fajitas in town.
