The local cuisine consists primarily of traditional Russian restaurants and different Asian-style places. Italian food is also common. However, there's a great variety of cheap fast-food outlets on the streets. Prices start from $3 for good snack to $5-10 at the Golden Bird fast food chain. Meals in small restaurants are available for $10-20. If money is not a concern, you can dine with a view of sunset and the Amur River at Hotel "Inturist" for $50-100.
The cliff facing the Amur is an icon of the city, the buildings in the background are parts of the Museum cluster on Shevchenko Street. Café Utyos is the building in the foreground.
Café Utyos (кафе «Утёс»), 15 Shevchenko St, ☎ +7 (4212) 399 774. The name means The Cliff in Russian, very appropriate as the restaurant is located in an unusual art nouveau building from the forties on top of the tall cliff dominating the waterfront, which used to be a lifeboat station. It has a large balcony with spectacular views of the Amur, beneath which the restaurant spreads out over two floors serving Japanese and western fare. A bit on the expensive side and the food leaves something to be desired, though dining with a grand view is the draw here.Mains 800-1500 rubles. �
Chilly (Чили), 23 Leningradskaya St, ☎ +7 (4212) 391 919, .

It can all seem a bit tacky, but hey, that's what tequilas are for, drink a few and you might end up enjoying yourself.Mains 400-1500 rubles. �

R-Cafe, 52 Pushkina St (On Lenin square), ☎ +7 (4212) 610 233, . Daily 10AM-midnight. Stylish café designed by a Moscow architect.

Scalini, 18 Muravyov-Amurskiy St., ☎ +7 (4212) 305 837. Pricey but good Italian restaurant, though the service might wind up feeling a bit pretentious out here in the far east. �
Pool Bar, 2A Lenina Street, ☎ +7 (4212) 227 523. 1PM-3AM. The most popular bar in the city and the oldest one. Popular with foreigners and not crazily expensive. Pint of Heineken 150 RUB. As you might have guessed from the name, it has pool tables. �
