True Burgers Moscow

Burgers you'd sell your soul for

""True Burgers" in Moscow is not your typical burger joint. As a true burger lover (and maker) myself, I can hardly resist grabbing one when I'm around..."

The "Burger Boom" that has been taking place in Moscow in the last few years has produced numerous burger-serving spots; some of them are good, others bad, most of them are just OK, but True Burgers is a very different story.

As a true burger lover (and maker), I just can't resist grabbing one every time I'm somewhere in the area.

A tiny spot (some tables inside to eat-in) one block away from Kievskaya metro station, founded by a hipster family, they hired a talented chef and pushed the taste beyond its boundaries.

Their True Vegetariano is particularly worth trying: there's no meat inside, but you'd be surprised how one can turn ordinary things like eggplants and mushrooms into an incredible-tasting miracle in your mouth. If you're really hungry, get their True Italiano with sun-dried tomatoes, rocket salad and mozzarella cheese on top of a True-sized premium-grade marble beef cutlet.

And yep, they never use boring ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise sauces, only
special ones that make an ideal fit for their burgers, made-on-site by the chef.

They also have another spot on Leninsky Prospekt, 68 (a 10-minute walk from Universitet metro, take-away only), facing the Leninsky Prospekt street.

Shabolovka Street

Oasis of peace

"Shabolovka Street" is one of my favorite parts of Moscow. Maybe it's because of the atmosphere, Danilovsky Food Market nearby or the radio tower...
