Ludi Kak Ludi Moscow

Seriously addictive pies

Natalia from Moscow

About me I was born in Siberia (never seen a bear outside a zoo though). Since 2010, I’m a happy Moscow transplant, now working as an editor for an Internet company. I soon learned to take for granted all those fantastic things this city has to offer: great theaters, its growing third wave coffee scene, good food (I keep my personal, regularly updated falafel rating), art spaces. ...
""Ludi Kak Ludi" in Moscow is my go-to place when I want good food at a super-cheap price. Protip: take your pie to-go in cute neighbourhood Kitay Gorod."

Ludi Kak Ludi is my go-to place when I want good food at a reasonable price (more like super cheap, actually, given the portion size). Mind you, the neighborhood is packed with great eateries, but I still keep coming to Ludi Kak Ludi. I’ve been here dozens of times, and literally everything I’ve ever tried was delicious. Homemade pies, sandwiches, desserts – all stellar. Their fruit smoothies are also quite famous. Instead of fancy names, they go by numbers, and loyal customers can be heard heatedly debating which is the best one, number 5 or 9 (or is it number 2?).

The place is tiny and immensely popular with the locals, so it’s almost always crowded. I kid you not: last summer I peeked in at 3 a.m., and there were quite a few people enjoying their pies and fruit smoothies. Be prepared to squeeze yourself in at the counter – or, better yet, order your food to-go. Kitay Gorod is, in my opinion, the cutest neighborhood in Moscow, so that makes total sense. Turn right as you exit the cafe, walk up the street, sit on the bench and happily munch on your savory pie while admiring the beautiful churches around you.

About me I was born in Siberia (never seen a bear outside a zoo though). Since 2010, I’m a happy Moscow transplant, now working as an editor for an Internet company. I soon learned to take for granted all those fantastic things this city has to offer: great theaters, its growing third wave coffee scene, good food (I keep my personal, regularly updated falafel rating), art spaces. I like to take long walks around the city – pick a destination, start from the city center and see what Moscow has in store for me (there are usually a few hidden gems to be discovered, or at least ...
