There’s a cafeteria in a factory that working at probably 15% capacity — a deteriorating shadow of Soviet times. It’s open to the public too, but it seems not many people know about it.

Here’s how you get there. First, find this place:

Walk through the lot and around this building:

Then through this alley:

Across this other lot (there’s a dotted line to help):

Around the corner, passing the rusting metal tank:

Along the back side of this building:

Through this door. Its being already open made the whole trip that much more welcoming. :)

Up these stairs:

Across this large, empty ballroom and into the door in the door in the corner:

Down the hall (the light at the end of this corridor was my second clue after the open door that they were open for business):

And there you can buy all this food for about $2.35:

It was delicious! And probably the strangest restaurant experience of my life.
