If you're adventurous enough to go outside the centre of town, try Long John Silver's restaurant. I recommend the wiener schnitzel – the portion is huge, enough for two. There’s a big plus in the summer: you can sit outside and enjoy the restaurant's own private zoo, complete with ducks, turkeys, rabbits and chickens. Those animals able to jump over the high fence will join you at your table. But they're very well mannered.
Otherwise you can look at the people entering and leaving the metro. There’s live music in the evenings and important football events are televised.
Nearest metro: Kaschirskaya, leave from the head of the train and exit right
