Russian food in Melbourne

RoboBust · 17th November 2006, 8:40 PM

I was thinking about styles that I don't often eat. Had Hungarian, that was pretty good. Once this Russian guy stayed with our family when I was young, he made a pretty killer borsch, is all I can remember. Anybody know of any good places?

It's really Polish but Borsch Vodka and Tears on Chapel St Windsor is pretty good IMO.

Babka bakery cafe on Brunswick St isn't bad but it's only breakfast and lunch.

That's really all I can think of. There used to be a Russian restaurant up the far end of Glenferrie Rd but I think it's LONG gone.

I know of two Russian restarunts, there's on on dandenong road near the princess pool palce and the second oen is near corner hawthorn and balaclava rd. Never been to either so I can't comment.
