Interesting fact: Teremok tried to expand to the USA, but it failed, not too long ago. Don't forget to like and comment this video if you enjoyed watching! You know, UA-cam likes such kinda stuff and it helps my channel to grow :)
For sure, ah man that's unfortunate that they tried and it didn't work out so well, maybe to start....perhaps it would be good strategy to place the first restaraunts with the largest Russian populations 🤔 but I don't know where they tried, I would love to try the food one day! Either way I plan to visit Russia one day and try it myself! I have tried kvass so far here at the local "European" stores and pelmeni but I would to try more!
@@joshuahalsell5152 they had a single store in New York and was there for like 2 years before going of business. I partially blame that we Americans much prefer the sweet French crepe as it reigns supreme.
Another great look into the everyday life in Russia. Thanks for your video. You do a very good job explaining everything for us tourist. Cant wait for the next one
@@MivusComedy is there much difference between a Blini and a crepe? They look the exact same and are made the same and can both be eaten savoury or sweet. I don’t understand the difference. I love crepes tho so I wanna try these
Just like the USA introduced McDonalds to Russia long ago, I wish we had Tepemok in USA! So hard to get Russian food in USA 🪆! This would be a great introduction to the Russian cuisine to Americans!
@@turuus5215 American food is 80% sugar and 20% fat. It’s like food you wanted when you were 6 but for some reason the adults eat it. It’s fine for about one mouthful but then you get sick. There’s a reason Russia doesn’t suffer from obesity and diabetes like the US does
There are actually LOTS and LOTS of amazing Russia food restaurants and Russian delicatessens. Were Russian we lived in Brooklyn Ny and Miami. Both have crazy delicious menus Even Russian bbq restaurants. Just saying maybe look where locals eat. I’m sure there’s something you can find. Much love your Russian friends
Kvas is classified as a "small beer", meaning it's brewed quickly and in small batches, intended for immediate use. Historically, American colonists brewed various small beers as well. There's no way to avoid alcohol production during the fermentation process, but the content is typically 1% or less by volume; it's liberally served to children of all ages and said to have probiotic properties. The flavor profile varies by manufacturer, ranging from quite sweet to dry and refreshing. It's easy to make yourself in a home kitchen, the primary ingredients are bread, yeast (ordinary baker's yeast will do), and sugar, with optional fruit or juices; a handful of raisins are a popular choice. There's dozens of recipes on line, if you want to try your hand. Commercially bottled Kvas is typically pasteurized for shelf stability, but home-made stuff is typically consumed "live". This means Commercial Kvas will remain unchanged in sealed containers for months, but home-made Kvas continues to slowly ferment; changing the flavor and increasing the pressure inside sealed containers. I've never had one explode (though that's not impossible), but I have had bottles leak around the cap, and lively brews can react violently to opening (like a shaken pop bottle).
@@Da... Nothing in earths atmosphere that contains carbon can be exactly 0% alcohol. Because alcohol producing east is literally in the air. So the legal limits for labeling no alcohol vary from country to country. For example where I live it's 0,5%.
You don't always see local food in a fast food restaurant, I'd would like to see more restaurants in Russia with local cuisines, plus it's always nice to see Lisa in your videos
It's interesting because I can't think where I can get just Russian cuisine. Lot's of Georgian restaurants. Maybe a few Pelmeni Restaurants but most places sell a bit of everything.
Thanks Aurelijus! It's really not that popular in Russia to have very traditional food. A lot of Italian, Asian, Georgian restaurants here, and everything is so tasty there
I really enjoyed this video With Lisa, she is a beautiful, charming companion. I would like to learn more about Russian culture with both of you, so please make more videos together!
That herring meal looks really good! I'm Swedish, and pickled herring with potatoes, eggs and pickled beetroot or 'beetroot sallad" (fine diced pickled beetroot with sour cream and mayonnaise, it can vary a little) all belong on the Swedish both Christmas and Easter tables! AND is perfect food for hot Summer days. 👍😋
@@NikiProshin Go right ahead. I have my own desires of what I want to check out but interested in what you recommend. There is lots to explore. Seems to me St Petersburg holds many, many deep secrets from the very ancient prehistory of humanity.
15USD for the food is honest, what you should have asked is about the quality of the food in McDonald or KFC if you pay much less.... There is price to pay and industrial food is not healthy. Pay 15USD and live longuer or pay 5 USD and live shorter: it is indeed a choice. You should ask yourself how the beef patty is made as well as how the chicken is fed and cleaned for KFC, you then realise these are industrial food unhealthy food. Definitely a good video - more like this please. You can also add bars, cafe.
For a McDonald's the food looked amazing, I have watched videos from around the world of McDonald's and that was one of the best I've seen. No paper wrappers or cups. Also prices were cheap. Thank you for sharing.
Niki , this video is very interesting! Your food choices are more vegetarian friendly than McDonalds, etc. I love red beets , so the Borscht sounds awesone!! Do you have any traditional Russian drinks that are nonalcholic? What are traditional foods that would be Vegetarian ? What grains are common on Russian kitchen tables? It is so amazing how people around the world have more in common, than we have differences!! What we do have that is different , we can learn from one another! I am praying that God , and your angels will keep you safe in these dark days, there is something better ahead!! James L.
Kvass, the drink he got in the video, is about as alcoholic as kombucha. He also mentions mors, which I remember from my childhood as basically watered down preserve/jam. Kompot, kissel, kefir, ryazhenka... I recommend looking up the wiki page called "List of Russian dishes", it's pretty comprehensive imo! The grain of choice is most probably buckwheat. But we also love pearl barley, and millet, and in terms of porridge there's also semolina and rice.
When I lived on Capitol Hill years ago, in Washington Dc, I had a long walk from the metro to my house, and passed by a little russian restaurant. They served very few dishes, but they were like this. I remember beets and sour cream and little else.
Hi. New subscriber here. I was very amazed on how clean Teremok 's workplace. I'm from the Philippines and I'd say that was a very clean place considering it was a fast food restaurant. I wanted to try it sometime and loved to eat other local Russian fast foods there.
@@NikiProshin I give Chipotle a 5 or 6 stars haha -- it's US fast food version of Mexican food (burritos, tacos, etc.) . If you visit the US, you should have no problem finding one. They're in every city. (Tell Chipotle to send you a sponsor check if you do a video on them haha)
Everything looks really good, especially the blini pancakes. I really enjoyed seeing the inside of the restaurant as well as the food. It’s all very fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing this aspect of your life.
I loved this video - I love learning about new Russian foods. There's no Russian restaurant in my town, so tomorrow, I'm going to try making medovik because I'm reeally craving it!
Food is my favorite invention. The herring under a blanket looked good. Last yesterday I made blini (screwed them up) but I fill them with cheese, eggs, pickles, tomatoes, & a piece of bear meat.
You are an awesome young man.your videos show the real russia.i have been to saint petersburg twice I have a close friend that lives in merino city area and have brought him to usa new york rwice.i am from Wisconsin and I love russia keep up the good work you inspire me. Spaciba. Bill
Tip for you in my opinion people are very interested in food things like that specially Russian food because not a lot of UA-camrs in Russia have video's like your video's soo keep up the good work😁
I enjoyed your fast food restaurant...the borscht looked really tempting to me!! Such a difference from the USA 🇺🇸. Keep showing us more! Hugs n love to you both..Cat 🐈 from Ct. USA 🇺🇸
In England my favourite fast food from Eastern Europe is chebureki, which I can buy hot from a Latvian bakery not far away. Due to Covid it was closed for a long time, but now opens on Fridays and Saturdays. They have all kinds of savoury and sweet rolls and cakes, which are new to English tastes. Especially the cabbage rolls (bread roll filled with a kind of coleslaw) are delicious. I would not be keen on the herring in fur coat, but I like eating pan-fried herring fillets. Feel free to show more Russian food!
Great place and menu), they didn't have Teremok that times, when I was there, can't wait to visit and try). shame you didn't get beer :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D)))) x x x
I’ve just heard that, instead of MacDonalds, you will soon be having Uncle Vanya’s fast food! Would love to hear your views on this 👍. Loving your videos btw 👍
I live in the Pacific Northwest USA and we have two restaurants in Seattle and Portland that serve rather fancy versions of Shuba.They are both very good but I remember eating shuba in Moscow on a day that was 90°F, 30°C. On such a day, I wondered whether the mayonnaise was safe to eat but obviously I survived! Ha ha ha ha
Here in Québec when we think of fast food we think of ... poutine! Not the guy, the meal LOL. Have you ever had it? In Vancouver there's a restaurant called Café Crèpe, which does really good sweet and savoury pancakes... but none with pickles I don't think 🥒
You might have paid double what you would in a fast food restaurant but the food you bought in Teremok was much healthier for you. I ate in similar blini restaurants in St. Petersburg in 2007 during the week I was there and enjoyed them very much!
Very interesting content. I enjoyed watching it. I would love to visit Saint-Petersburg one day. Please, make some videos about Russian some expected behaviours in Russia :)
love this video and absolutely it would be so much fun to film exploration videos and trying local food!! also niki would you make videos about your favorite Russian music and modern literature and cinema? no pressure of course!
Got here accidentally LOVE your video I’m Russian but I live in Miami know No matter where I’ve been or ate. I ALWAYS rather have our food. From manti. Lagman to hearing with parsley potatoes. Can’t beat our food
teremok was my favorite when studying in SPb :) it is definitely a welcome change from "normal" fast food. I always got blin email :D weird name, but tasty!
Wow my mother used to describe some of the foods she'd have when she grew up in Moscow I was born and raised in the us and first time trying eastern European or Russian food was a little after I joined the us army 2 years ago
I was in Moscow and Saint Petersburg 30 years ago in March . Food was not available anywhere, there were no restaurants open. We saw long lines at bakeries IF they had bread to sell. I was on a student exchange tour with my daughter’s school and the food was included in the price of the tour. I was a vegetarian at the time and the food was fine, lots of carrots, potatoes and yogurt . The non vegetarians were eating a lot of perserved fish. They were teenagers from California and did not like the food at all … Macdonald had just opened in Moscow and the line was 2 or 3 kilometers long. It was the only place I saw food being sold to the public at the time. I brought a few gifts from Russian coworkers in California to their friends in Moscow and Saint Petersburg . One of the recipients gave me a big bag of piroshki , that was fabulous. The other friends had meatballs and salads and a lot of vodka , they threw a party to welcome me ☺️ I didn’t drink alcohol or eat meat , so I enjoyed the salads and the warm hospitality but not the meat or vodka 😂 It deeply saddens me to see Russia facing the kind of economic reality they faced thirty years ago. It was very bleak . I was so pleased to see positive changes and things vastly improved for the Russian people. I hope that this will all be temporary and that things will be resolved soon. I would like to go back to Russia one day. Saint Petersburg was fascinating . The whole trip was amazing . I wish you all well, all over the world we pay for the actions of our governments and often we disagree with their actions . I have traveled all over the world and owned a hotel in a popular international destination. Few people in the world support the actions of their governments ! Smart people know that corruption is rampant and few governments have the approval of their actions by their citizens. I pray for you all. That something or someone will intervene and bring peace back. Most people want the same things, friends , family and the freedom to live their lives in peace and prosperity . I hope we will learn how to provide that for everyone . Thank you for the videos, at least I have gotten a glimpse into how life is there today. It looks a lot better than 1989, I hope you will all find a way to prosper regardless of the actions of governments .
I've never heard of Kvass before but now that you said it I had to do some googling to find out what it is. So is it like beer but made of rye bread?? I want to try kvass so much
It is a fermented bread drink, usually a little bit sweet and with very low (less than a %) percentage of alcohol. I've never tried good kvass from a supermarket, all was kinda tasteless. The good ones are mostly homemade or serves in restaurants
It's so good! I'm from Australia and they have it in some delis/international grocers here, you should definitely see if they have it wherever you are!
Watching your videos makes me almost going to live there in St. Petersburg! The Russian food seems very nice, except for the salad. I guess salad is only available in the summer when it grows in your dacha. I remember having been to Russian embassies where food did not look so nice!
@@NikiProshin oh yes! Specially California and Hawaii! The most expensive! I live in SanFrancisco, before the pandemic lots of Russians stayed at my place,
Being someone who really likes beetroots, especially pickled ones, I really want to try borscht sometime, but can’t seem to find a very simple recipe for it. Have any suggestion? And would it be ok to use preserved beetroots rather than having to peel fresh ones? I’m a bit worried about any strains when preparing them. One Russian/Eastern European food I really like and have cooked at home once is beef stroganoff, it’s just such a comfort food! We also have the cabbage rolls here that are common in Eastern Europe as well, and we even have like a casserole version of them where the cabbage is chopped and pre cooked before being layered with the mince and rice mixture and cooked in oven. The cabbage casserole is another one of my favorites, I prefer it over the rolls even though it has the same ingredients. I’m Swedish and living in Sweden, but do find it interesting how our countries shares a fair bit of cuisine. One of my favorite breakfast foods is actually semolina porridge, or sometimes I make it the drinkable version instead and use about half the amount of semolina compared to what you’d use for the amount of milk if making the porridge. I almost always keep semolina at home. Russian pancakes and dumplings look absolutely amazing! I’d love to try to make those at home sometime too
May I ask why you would never buy the Baltica beer? Just not that big of an alcohol fan? I would love to try all those drinks, surely Kvass there is nothing like it here.
Your videos are great--just discovered them! I visited St. Petersburg in 2005, and was just agog at how beautiful it is. Now I have cognitive dissonance, trying to reconcile my fascination with everything Russian with the horror of what's happening in Ukraine. I don't know what to say about that except that, if you and your friends are any indication of what your generation is like, there is hope that the madness will end.
I think if I had a choice I would have your traditional Russian Fast Food Chain vs McDonald's. The quality is much better looking and more "nutritious" this restaurant in my opinion is Fresh Fast Food aka Chipotle, Subway, FRESH, Russian Soup. The Herring dish looked pretty good.
Interesting fact: Teremok tried to expand to the USA, but it failed, not too long ago.

The other friends had meatballs and salads and a lot of vodka , they threw a party to welcome me ☺️ I didn’t drink alcohol or eat meat , so I enjoyed the salads and the warm hospitality but not the meat or vodka 😂
It deeply saddens me to see Russia facing the kind of economic reality they faced thirty years ago. It was very bleak . I was so pleased to see positive changes and things vastly improved for the Russian people.
I hope that this will all be temporary and that things will be resolved soon.
I would like to go back to Russia one day. Saint Petersburg was fascinating . The whole trip was amazing .
I wish you all well, all over the world we pay for the actions of our governments and often we disagree with their actions . I have traveled all over the world and owned a hotel in a popular international destination. Few people in the world support the actions of their governments ! Smart people know that corruption is rampant and few governments have the approval of their actions by their citizens.
I pray for you all. That something or someone will intervene and bring peace back. Most people want the same things, friends , family and the freedom to live their lives in peace and prosperity . I hope we will learn how to provide that for everyone .
Thank you for the videos, at least I have gotten a glimpse into how life is there today. It looks a lot better than 1989, I hope you will all find a way to prosper regardless of the actions of governments .
Those times wont come, during end of soviet time russia did not have a self sufficent argicultural system. But things have changed.
I liked this video a lot and would like to see more like it! I'd like to visit St. Petersburg someday and eat at Teremok.
Thank you, and welcome to Petersburg!
i loved this! y’all should make a video on the mcdonalds in russia!
Going to McDonalds next year! (I literally promised that I don't have any McD food before the end of 2021)
That food looks sooo yummie
I'm sick of American fast food. Those pancakes look incredible, I'd love to try those things some day.
Russian good looks delicious and nutritious
I've never heard of Kvass before but now that you said it I had to do some googling to find out what it is. So is it like beer but made of rye bread?? I want to try kvass so much
It is a fermented bread drink, usually a little bit sweet and with very low (less than a %) percentage of alcohol. I've never tried good kvass from a supermarket, all was kinda tasteless. The good ones are mostly homemade or serves in restaurants
It's so good! I'm from Australia and they have it in some delis/international grocers here, you should definitely see if they have it wherever you are!
Watching your videos makes me almost going to live there in St. Petersburg! The Russian food seems very nice, except for the salad. I guess salad is only available in the summer when it grows in your dacha. I remember having been to Russian embassies where food did not look so nice!
Так хочется сейчас борща 😭
Скучаю, блин.
Lisa wears great eye makeup ...
That restaurant looks awesome. I love pancakes! Greetings from Vorarlberg (Austria) =)
Greetings from Petersburg!
I can totally see myself eating the hell out of large quantities of those pancakes.
Lisa is stunning. ❤️😍😍
Russian food joint 100 times better than mcdonalds
That’s very cheap for the two of you! That’s lots of food! Good food
Russia is cheap if you compare it to Europe or America, yeah
@@NikiProshin oh yes! Specially California and Hawaii! The most expensive! I live in SanFrancisco, before the pandemic lots of Russians stayed at my place,
Not to put you out of pocket because I’m sure it would cost more, but I’d like to see the high end of Russian food 😋
Someday I'll film that too :)
Being someone who really likes beetroots, especially pickled ones, I really want to try borscht sometime, but can’t seem to find a very simple recipe for it. Have any suggestion? And would it be ok to use preserved beetroots rather than having to peel fresh ones? I’m a bit worried about any strains when preparing them. One Russian/Eastern European food I really like and have cooked at home once is beef stroganoff, it’s just such a comfort food! We also have the cabbage rolls here that are common in Eastern Europe as well, and we even have like a casserole version of them where the cabbage is chopped and pre cooked before being layered with the mince and rice mixture and cooked in oven. The cabbage casserole is another one of my favorites, I prefer it over the rolls even though it has the same ingredients. I’m Swedish and living in Sweden, but do find it interesting how our countries shares a fair bit of cuisine. One of my favorite breakfast foods is actually semolina porridge, or sometimes I make it the drinkable version instead and use about half the amount of semolina compared to what you’d use for the amount of milk if making the porridge. I almost always keep semolina at home. Russian pancakes and dumplings look absolutely amazing! I’d love to try to make those at home sometime too
I miss St.Petersburg 🥰
The pancakes look a little like crepes you can get in France. Somehow, St. Petersburg seems to be a bit the Paris of Russia...
May I ask why you would never buy the Baltica beer? Just not that big of an alcohol fan?
I would love to try all those drinks, surely Kvass there is nothing like it here.
Baltika simply isn't the best beer. I wouldn't even call it a good beer
Teremok is so uniquely russian. Do they have international outlets?
I know that they tried to open a few spots in America and they did it for a short time. For now.. not sure if they exist anywhere abroad
Your videos are great--just discovered them! I visited St. Petersburg in 2005, and was just agog at how beautiful it is. Now I have cognitive dissonance, trying to reconcile my fascination with everything Russian with the horror of what's happening in Ukraine. I don't know what to say about that except that, if you and your friends are any indication of what your generation is like, there is hope that the madness will end.
Like your videos. In the U.S. McDonalds for 2 is around $25.00 Also I'd like to see you go to a Russian car dealership. Thanks.
I think if I had a choice I would have your traditional Russian Fast Food Chain vs McDonald's. The quality is much better looking and more "nutritious" this restaurant in my opinion is Fresh Fast Food aka Chipotle, Subway, FRESH, Russian Soup. The Herring dish looked pretty good.
I am from Denmark and i can tell you that is crazy cheep if that was here!
Niki I came here from your tiktok
Hi!
@@NikiProshin hi
This looks much healthier than fast food in America.
Why does it say “don’t take this place” on the table?
