Local cousine restaurant in Suzdal with a scent of khrenovukha
One of the most famous holidays in Suzdal is Cucumber Day (we'd call it Ogurets Day in this article, so it sound similiar to russian). Suzdal residents celebrate the Day of the Ogurets, but there had been no special place to celebrate it. Together with the entrepreneur and the former head of Suzdal, who was behind the Suzdal brand creation, we helped to create a memorable restaurant "Ogurets" in Suzdal, where you can celebrate this holiday in the remaining 364 days. Since its opening, it became one of the most legendary restaurants in Suzdal, worth to visit.

Here you should definitely try pearl porridge with duck cooked in a pot, and drink it with a shot of cucumber juice infused with own pickles. We love creating projects with local businesses about local gastronomic specialties in the places.
