Samara, like any other major city in Russia, simply amazes with the number of restaurants. There are small family restaurants here, as well as large network giants, which do not offer any dishes and types of national cuisine. To help you choose a place for a family or holiday feast or for a casual lunch and dinner out, we offer a list that reflects the best restaurants in Samara.

Beer restaurants

There are many restaurants in Samara offering freshly brewed beer and dishes suitable for a foamy drink. But the most popular is the Frau Müller restaurant. This institution is one of the first of its kind to open in the city, and for 10 years it has been full here almost every evening. The interior repeats typical European pubs, as well as the menu: it has a variety of beers, aged schnapps, steaks, sausages, knuckle. Thanks to the atmosphere and affordable prices, the Frau Müller restaurant deserves a visit.

The restaurant chain "Three deer" is a great place for gatherings in a noisy company, accompanied by live music, excellent food and fresh beer. 4 types of beer are brewed in their own brewery, and fish and meat are smoked in their own smokehouse, and they also make their own pastries. The menu also includes speci alties such as minced reindeer cutlet.

Besides these restaurants, in Samara you can visit the Shannon Irish pub, where besides beer there is a huge selection of whiskey, or the chain restaurant "Maximilians", and lovers of craft beer will find good Samara restaurants Jaw Pike and "All Your Friends".

Ethnic cuisine

Mediterranean or Asian dishes are probably not surprising today, but they are so loved that Italian or Japanese restaurants are always popular.

From Italian restaurants, one cannot fail to mention “Marlin”, where the richest selection of seafood in all of Samara. The highlight of the restaurant is a fountain and an artificial lake with live carps. There are also good restaurants in Samara, where real Italians work. One of them is Bacco, where an Italian chef prepares traditional trattoria dishes and Olivier and borscht, which are strange for this place. The second Italian in Samara is pizzaiola at Beerhouse italiano, where pizza is cooked in a real wood-fired oven.

If you want sushi, then Japanese cuisine is presented in the once fashionable restaurant “Tanuki” (more precisely, in their chain) and in a small restaurant “To Se”. Despite the fact that everything is not easy with authentic Asian cuisine in the city, these are good restaurantsSamara, where they will serve the usual rolls in Russian, tasty, and most importantly - safe.

It's rather strange, but there are few restaurants of Russian cuisine in Russia, it's nice that such an institution called "Carrot Hare" operates in Samara. It has a very cozy interior, entertainment for children and the possibility of holding any event. But the most important thing is the cuisine, where you can taste the famous daily cabbage soup, and porridges on village cream, and the freshest northern and Black Sea fish.

Another representative of the national cuisine is the Jewish restaurant “Tel Aviv”. The owner is a member of the Jewish community of the city, the dishes on the menu are really authentic and tasty, so if you want to try falafel, hummus, mincemeat or matzo, go here.

Cheap cafes and restaurants

A very nice and inexpensive place - the Mint cafe, where visitors will be offered delicious coffee, homemade food and fresh pastries just like at home: without improvers, preservatives and dyes.

Another coffee shop, “Confiture”, pleases with adequate prices for decent portions of delicious dishes. Despite the eclectic and thoughtful interior, the place is quite democratic. Regulars recommend grilled meat burgers, salads and lemonade here.

Another place where you can dine for only 150 rubles is “Buffet”. The food here is simple and delicious, but the interior is amazing - chic crystal chandeliers, high ceilings and European surroundings.

Family establishments

If you want to go to a restaurant with the whole family, but so that the children eat and their parents are given dinner, choosefamily oriented establishments. Such as the restaurant "Jam". This is a two-story light and spacious restaurant with a varied menu and dishes of European, Russian and Pan-Asian cuisine. Plus - a large play area, thanks to which you can spend at least half a day in the restaurant.

A place where children are always welcome is the Brazeria restaurant at the Holiday inn. There is a children's menu, and adults are recommended to try steak with Jack Daniels sauce, fish soup, pike perch or dumplings.

Meat restaurants and steakhouses

In Russia, as you know, they love meat very much and, naturally, if the menu of restaurants in Samara offers a good steak, such establishments are always in price. In the city, the Myasnoff restaurant can be called the leader in the meat menu. In addition to meat itself, there is an excellent wine list and noisy concerts with visiting celebrities. If you want to spend a quiet evening, it is better to choose the Hadson restaurant, where guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine, an English interior and a pleasant muffled sound.

The Argentine steakhouse Mamma Cita is also interesting with an authentic interior, a real josper oven and different options for not cheap, but high-quality steaks.

Restaurants in Samara with a summer terrace and a view of the Volga

Summer verandas and large restaurants with panoramic windows near the Volga embankment are always popular with citizens and guests of Samara. And no wonder, because here it is so nice to meet sunsets or look at scurrying ships, and if they offer good food, thenno vacancies to be found. This is what happens in the summer restaurant "Chaika", where a large wood-burning stove is installed and several types of delicious and inexpensive pizza are on the menu.

Another establishment with a rare beauty view is the Skryabin restaurant, located on board the ship, whose name and interior refer directly to the famous work of Ilf and Petrov. On winter evenings, seeing off the sunset, it is good to try the local lard, herring and cabbage soup with mushrooms.

But the restaurant and bar “Yar” is distinguished by a different concept - this is a huge room where noisy parties are held, where you can meet a variety of people and where they cook meat and live fish well.
