Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
Within walking distance, we have a very good Chinese restaurant, Georgian restaurant, and several pizza places. There are also many, many burger places, and of course Russian cuisine is plentiful. Many restaurants have delivery services. About a mile from our home is a large, very nice mall, with many restaurants as well. American fast food restaurants and chains include Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, Papa John's, Baskin Robbins, and Subway. Even though tea is the national drink (and there is plenty of tea to be found), coffee shops are also ubiquitous. - Feb 2020
There was food delivery for anything possible, but it took a very long time. On average 45-50 minutes for a pizza delivery. Sadly, by the time it arrived, it would have to be reheated. We went out rarely as we had smaller children. - Aug 2018
There are several Subways and two McDonald's located outside the city center. Restaurants generally offer Russian cuisine. Ethnic restaurants offer "Russified" versions of dishes. Learn to embrace mayonnaise and dill. - Aug 2010
The restaurant scene was quite good and constantly improving during my time in Yekat. There are several Subway outlets across the city and a couple of luxury restaurants that offered great service at a fairly affordable price. - Jan 2008
