Where can I buy authentic russian food in the UK?

Answer 1

Hi Elena!

I can recommend a couple of online shops that sell food and drinks imported from Russia. One is called "More Vsego": http://www.morevsego.co.uk (their website seems to experience problems at the moment, but I've ordered from them before and the service is good).
The other one is "Tradicia": http://www.tradicia.co.uk/
They deliver most of the stuff anywhere in the UK. You'll probably find that these shops are rather expensive if you take the cost of delivery into account, but the quality and range of products is quite good.

On top of that, there are a few Russian shops around the country. You can check out the extensive lists below:

Most of those shops are in London ("Kalinka" etc) but I managed to find one in Oxford (if that's indeed where you live):
Baltic Food
88 Cowley Road
Oxford OX4 1JB
Tel/Fax: [phone]
Website: http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/reviews/shop/russian.htm (looks quite old though)

If you've just moved to the UK from Russia, you'll probably find the following message boards helpful:

Dang, you got me on that one. I regret I don't know.
