Food festivals in Moscow in June

Travel News in Russia, ex USSR, Mongolia & China
All food lovers do not miss your chance to visit the Food Festivals in Moscow over the weekend 27-28 June

Vkusnaya Moskva (Tasty Moscow), June 27-28

For those more interested in what people ate in the past rather than trends of the future, Vkusnaya Moskva is the place to be. This festival is held the same weekend as O, da! Eda!" but its aim is almost completely opposite. The goal of Vkusnaya Moskva is to reconstruct dishes that were popular in Moscow a century or two ago. Famous Moscow chefs will recreate the tastes of the past and food historians Olga Syutkina and Pavel Syutkin will present their books and give a lecture on pre-revolutionary culinary Moscow. Additionally, classic Moscow restaurants like Yar and Praga will offer set-course menus. The festival will also feature master classes, a farmer's market and an exhibition of historic photography.

Festival location - Sokolniki Park, Moscow

O, da! Eda! (Oh, yes! That's food!), June 27-28

This food festival, which originated in St. Petersburg, is set to occupy Russia's capital for the second time. One important change from last year's event is its location — while last year O, da! Eda! took place in the difficult-to-reach Park Krasnaya Presnya, the 2015 festival will be held in Gorky Park. The festival's mission corresponds to the status of its new venue: "Our goal is to present the whole gastronomic panorama of Moscow," says organizer Artem Balaev.

"The theme of the festival is 'Fair Cuisine,'" said Balaev. "It's because we don't want to keep any tricks or secrets from the guests. I think that the main trends in modern fine dining are simplicity, naturalness and value for money. So, we offer participants that follow these trends."
