Not everyone in Moscow is an oligarch. Some don’t even eat sushi. When they want a cheap quick meal they head to My My.
My My is pronounced Moo Moo, hence the bovine-themed livery. You’ll find them all around Moscow. The one above is on Arbat. The photo below was taken in the one near Lubyanka.
The thing I liked most about My My is that it’s self service. You decide what you like the look of and point at it. (Until my Russian improves it’s keeping me from going hungry!) It’s always busy so it’s always fresh. And it’s cheap. I had a salad, snitzel and vegetables and a beer and it came to 250 roubles. If I’d gone one of the special set menus I could have got out of it for 69 roubles.
I was put onto My My by eKaterina. The one on Arbat was only a couple of hundred metres from her flat. Whenever she works late Ivan wanders down there for his dinner. (She didn’t say if he wore his dressing gown or not.) Judging by the number of complimentary My My fudge around their flat - you get one with every meal - he goes there a lot.
He even had a My My balloon.

Found one of these and persuaded Jodie to go in, even though she was a bit wary of a Russian self-service eatery. But are we glad we found it. The staff were most helpful, getting us through our obvious confusion, and the food was great. I couldv’e quite happily ate there for every meal, but we only found one on our final evening. Cheers, Peter.
