Russkaya Usadba
$$
This is one of Uglich’s most affordable spots to try out a wide array of classic Russian dishes without breaking the bank. Although you can take your meal in the cavern-like underground bar section—complete with gray stone walls—the main part of the restaurant is a bit more elegant, in an old-fashioned kind of way, and has large windows draped with gossamer curtains and polished marble floors. Traditional Russian dishes come beautifully presented and include favorites such as kulebyaka (salmon and rice pie), baked fish, and stroganoff. There's also an extensive dessert list, with everything from chocolate cake to the innovative (and not-to-be-missed) strawberry gazpacho with ginger ice cream.
