Vladivostok - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
Excellent, excellent restaurants. I don't recall any delivery services available, but you could take out food from many locations. I took full advantage of the restaurants here and had at least a dozen places that I miss dearly now (Zuma - high end, trendy Asian fusion/sushi), Moloko & Med - European/American, Dumpling Republic - Asian dumpling/noodle house, Paulaner Brewhouse - german beerhall and restaurant, Khlopok - amazing Uzbek restaurant and my favorite place in VL, Syndicate - steakhouse with live jazz music, etc.). When I arrived in 2012, I was told there were few options for quality food, but by exploring, it was easy to find truly excellent restaurants and great new options opened every months. While warm weather months are precious given the climate, the outdoor dining scene explodes during this time of year and you'll find yourself tempted to go out for dinner every night/day. - Jun 2017
There's a Cinnabon and a fake Subway, but no McDonald's. There are a surprising amount of good restaurants in town. There is good Italian, Korean, Uzbek, Georgian, (of course) Russian, and other random stuff. You won't go hungry there, but the nice restaurants are pricey. Expect to pay $50 per person. - Apr 2012
There are a couple of Russian fast food places. They're okay, but there are no American chains. There are plenty of restaurants -- one great Indian one, several Korean ones that I like, and a few good Japanese ones. Also Italian and Georgian among others. They are all kind of pricey, but overall worth it. - Jun 2009
Yes, but substandard quality and bad food. - Apr 2009
