Here we will tell you about our favorite places in the New Year's city. In fact, this collection is about what to eat and drink in Tula to become your own. But this is inaccurate. You'll figure out love on your own, I'm sure.
Here's another thing: Your opinion may not coincide with the opinion of the authors 100 percent. It is ok.
Iskra is a gastronomic quarter that everyone has written about. And even those who are lazy. The space is so organically woven into the fabric of the city that it is no longer clear how Tula lived without Iskra before. Regardless of the day of the week, it's always crowded here, but if you can still find a place on weekdays, then everything is busy on weekends.

This is exactly the story when life wanted a holiday and gave us this bar. Named after the brewery of the same name, he has already established himself so well among the locals that they trust him like their own grandmother. Here you need to take a pint of cold water on tap, or preferably two. As a matter of fact, start learning the basics of cultural drinking from here. You'll like it. We continue in the author's Lil Pil glass room. It's bright, fun, free, easy, strong, and even if you're there for the first time, it feels like everyone belongs there.

So, definitely, in the hero city you need to try gingerbread raff in a coffee shop. Any Tula coffee shop makes it. The local barristers are still arguing about who came up with the idea to make it first, but these are their professional discussions. We drink gingerbread raff in two coffee shops, and we'll tell you about them:
In the 19th century, Vasily Levshin, a Tula nobleman and gastroenterologist, published the book "Russian Cookery" and laid the foundation for culinary literature about Russian cuisine. And in the 21st century, a festival was launched in Tula in his honor. Details about the participants and dishes are here — https://visittula.com/lyovshins-dinner-2022/. But if we talk about our preferences, then on the first of January in the morning, we would have a vinaigrette with salted pears, cabbage soup with boiled veal. For the second — a side of pork with potatoes, for compote — a jug of cold hopped cider (well, who likes what) and go ahead to conquer Tula.
