Kemerovo Oblast Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Kemerovo Oblast
Kemerovo Oblast (Russian: Ке́меровская о́бласть, Kemerovskaya oblast), also known as Kuzbass (Кузба́сс) after the Kuznetsk Basin, is a federal subject of Russia (an oblast), located in southwestern Siberia, where the West Siberian Plain meets the South Siberian mountains. The oblast, which covers an area of 95,500 square kilometers (36,900 sq mi), shares a border with Tomsk Oblast in the north, Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia in the east, the Altai Republic in the south, and with Novosibirsk Oblast and Altai Krai in the west. Kemerovo is the administrative center of the oblast, though Novokuznetsk is the largest city in the oblast, in terms of size. Kemerovo Oblast is one of Russia's most urbanized regions, with over 70% of the population living in its nine principal cities. Its ethnic composition is predominantly Russian, but Ukrainians, Tatars, and Chuvash also live in the oblast. The population recorded during the 2010 Census was 2,763,135.

This is a lovely restaurant based around a mining theme. You enter into an authentically done reception area where you can leave your coats and don hard hats like miners. There is a raised eating area where guests sit as if they are on the train taking miners to the coal face, but we chose to sit in a more open space that has dim lighting like as if you deep within the mine. The Russian food was not particularly cheap, but was served with a smile by the young waitress. The menu was extensive and the food was delicious and we all went away full and satisfied. We were also taken downstairs to a small room which contains artefacts that would have been in a mine boss's office. I really enjoyed the night there and will certainly be going back at some point soon during my stay in Kemerovo.

Not too many places to eat in this city and the Russian take of 'sushi' is pretty bad. This place does good hearty meaty dishes in a kind of beer orientated European style place. It looks like they brew their own too! They also do salads and meat and cheese plates too. It was a quiet Monday night when I was there. They have an English menu!
Good location next to the Hotel Novokiznetskaya and a short walk from the drama theatre.

There are many restaurants there, but this new grill42 is what you expect coming from abroad. Just modern restaurant, can be in every country you can imagine. If you prefer typical Russian restaurant go to Zaboy or another place. This is the restaurant for westerners or for people like to be.

Belgian family owned and operated. We have a large selection of Belgian beer. Belgian fries and waffles. Cosy bar with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere to let you enjoy quality Belgian beer.

Cosy pub with the largest variety of Belgian beer in Siberia run by a lovely family couple. The guys treat every visitor like an old friend what makes you want to come back again & again. The home-made meal is simple yet excellent. Fine music selection (expect live music on Fridays) and even a bookcrossing shelf if you have a fancy for Reading. A must visit spot for any foreign guest of the city as the owners speak several languages.

Interesingly located amongst the new (and old) apartments, part of a fancy mall. The Terrace is very nice and some entertaining people watching.
Having seen bottles of infuses olive oil on the tables I had some optimism for this place. Now I know that you need the olive oil to make the pizza taste of something.
Service is good but the food is lacking. The pizza I had, although suitable in diameter was thin and lack lustre. I doubt the dough was fresh. It was incredibly thin (think 'water biscuit') and incredibly
bland. Soggy and dry at the same time.
Perhaps other things are better, but do avoid the pizza.

I visited this restaurant on a few occasions at different times of the day and had breakfast, afternoon snacks, and a full meal at night once. The menu is extensive, the food delicious, the place is tastefully decorated and quite cosy, and the staff attentive and knowledgeable (in particular a waiter named Vladimir who selected an ideal spot for a romantic meal with a friend, and then ensured that the meal was perfection itself). It's not cheap, but the quality of foods and ambience are worth that little bit extra.
I will definitely be revisiting when I return to Kemerovo in 2015

Люблю бывать в барже всегда, но в октября в период Октоберфеста обязательно планирую посещение "Баржи". Уютно, хорошее и быстрое обслуживание. Разные сорта пива. Каждый найдет на свой вкус. Что касается цены, то "Баржа" по кемеровским меркам находится в середине. Здесь недёшево, но и к дорогим это заведение не отнесёшь. В меню рекомендую выбирать салатики (мой любимый "Шёпот монаха" с отварным языком, перепелиными яйцами и черри), шашлыки и блюда из баранины. Эти блюда им особенно удаются.
