Food services in Russia develop rather quickly, becoming more convenient and modernIn general, each cuisine roughly can be divided into two groups of dishes - official dishes and every-day dishes. The same is with Russian cuisine. Official dishes demand much time for cooking, often they include many different products. In opposite the every-day dishes that are cooked of common products and in limited time range, reflect the real Russian cuisine and they give the real impression about Russian cuisine.
Food services in Russia develop rather quickly, becoming more convenient and modern. One of the relatively new but rapidly growing food services in Russia is catering. This service is provided in major Russian cities and is not yet sensitive to intense competition based on price and quality. The wide range of end-users includes all kinds of businesses, scientific institutions, individuals holding receptions, organizing conferences, as well as personal parties and weddings. Stronger competition should encourage better quality.
Fast food became one of the most popular food services in Russia. It is represented almost in all cities with bistros and stalls. It is fast and cheap, but unfortunately unhealthy. Having stopped for a minute running along the street, you would not try true Russian cuisine, rich and varied, with flavorful soups, spicy sauces or tasty meat. Therefore, have a break and visit a luxury restaurant or a small cozy cafe! You will have a chance to enjoy Russian cuisine and be friends with your stomach. Guests have always been met with bread and salt. You will find the names of different dishes in menu. For example, Russian appetizers or salads look and smell very delicious and they stimulate appetite. They are served with various seasonings and condiments, such as horseradish, mayonnaise, garlic and piquant tomato sauces, lending special pungency to the dish.
Another kind of food services in Russia for restaurants, stores and specialized companies is food delivery. Although there is strong demand for such services, only few elite and highly expensive stores provide food delivery services in Russia. Main consumers for food delivery services from both stores and restaurants include upper and medium class. Polls taken from middle-class consumers in Moscow have shown that there is a demand for reasonably priced food delivery services, such as pizza delivery. Wealthier consumers are taking advantage of food delivery services provided by a limited number of expensive food stores.
Demand for take-out services is growing despite the high prices compared to similar services in economically developed countries in Europe and the United States. Nonetheless, the number of restaurants, cafes and bars in major Russian cities is increasing, along with the quality and competitiveness of these ventures. Take-out Russian food service remains undeveloped. Restaurants, bars and cafes are diverse in their cuisine and range of services. However, many restaurants still do not offer food for take-out though the demand for such service exists.
