Exotic goods lined the shopping aisles side by side: both fresh - such as pak choy salad, okra and okra - and canned - lychee, passion fruit and aloe. There are as many as 10 types of cane sugar. Lots of noodles: from the usual glass noodles to orange mango noodles.

2. LavkaLavka Market

The ambitious idea of ​​a full-fledged farmers' market LavkaLavka has not yet been brought to life, but work is in full swing!

Here it is not a buyer talking to a seller, but a person talking to a person.

4. Danilovsky market

It was an ordinary collective farm market until it was reorganized two years ago. Now all the counters are equally neat, there are benches at the edges for tired customers, and sellers are dressed in uniform.

Meat here starts from 300 rubles. per kg, tomatoes - from 100 rub.

5. Riga market

In the nineties, at Rizhsky you could buy products from Soviet cooperatives “from parsley to a Kalashnikov assault rifle.” It was there that Sasha Bely from the Brigade began engaging in racketeering upon his return from the army. In 2004, a suicide bomber exploded near the market near the Rizhskaya metro station, and the Moscow government decided to close the shop (officially declaring that the terrorist attack had nothing to do with it). Now people from all over the city come to the Riga agricultural market to buy a variety of inexpensive flowers. Vegetables and other products are also very good here, but the choice is small.

6. Rogozhsky ranks

Until 1996, the Rogozhsky market was not profitable, until it was bought by Avtoprokat LLC and launched in 2000 as a shopping complex.

To the right of the main pavilion is the farm pavilion at number 13. There you can buy vegetables, meat, poultry, and spices.

7. Preobrazhensky Market

The territory of the Preobrazhensky Market belongs to the Old Believer Church. Nearby there is a cemetery and shops with wreaths and tombstones. At the market itself you can meet mournful ladies in black tulle and wide-brimmed hats.

However, the grandmothers do not trust him: “And then there will be no one to ask.”

8. Leningradsky market

In the past, it was the most famous agricultural market in the capital. After reconstruction, a typical shopping complex grew up on the site of the former covered arcades. Prices have risen accordingly. However, going here remains a tradition for many townspeople, and on weekends the premises are crowded. In addition to everything that is available at every bazaar, the Leningrad market is famous for its Uzbek rows. To prepare the perfect pilaf, shish kebab or lagman, just voice your desire to the seller, and he will put together a set of seasonings for you.

Prices are reasonable - from 15 rubles. per piece

10. Lefortovo market

The oldest Moscow market: the first shopping arcades appeared here in 1712. It is very difficult to run into stale goods or dishonest treatment - reputation is more valuable. Otherwise, everything is the same as everywhere else - meat, fish, pucks of farm cheese on the same counter as store-bought ones, cakes and sweets, a tea section, fresh bread, dried fruits, nuts.

11. "Farmer Bazaar"

The brainchild of the Ginza Project on the top floor of the Tsvetnoy shopping center is something between a supermarket, a market and a restaurant - it’s not a new thing in the world, but it’s the first in the center of Moscow. The prices are steep, but pointing your finger at shellfish in the window and 5 minutes later seeing them on your table is nice for any money. Marbled beef steak, fresh bread, cottage cheese, exotic fruits - you can ask for everything to be cooked on the spot or taken with you. Bargaining is not forbidden!

12. Sevastopol market

The Sevastopol market is not for the faint of heart. The ugly gray building of the Sevastopol Hotel hides an incredibly realistic picture of Asian markets.

The whole building smelled of spices. The authenticity of any product is guaranteed by snaggle-toothed Sikhs who do not speak Russian.

14. Eco-bazaar

The first and so far only eco-bazaar opened in 2012 in Mytishchi. But in the next 5 years there are plans to equip almost the entire Moscow region with similar enterprises. The main feature is the organization of space: streets of dairy products or vegetables with fruits and honey meet near a huge aromatic bakery. Among the outstanding ones are the monastery shop, “Yogurteria” - a yogurt ice cream shop-cafe, rich fish, meat, cheese departments and the legendary giant strawberries from the agricultural sector named after. Lenin.

15. “Spanish House” at the Yaroslavl market

A grocery store with a minimal degree of falsehood: dangling legs just like in the San Miguel market in Madrid, the tomatoes are dried by a real Spaniard. Reinforces the impression of a small, but miraculous
A great selection of wines and sangrias that you can try here. The bakery delivers buns and crispy baguettes to the hall in the morning, so you can still have lunch in the afternoon like a working tourist: jamon, cheese, bread and butter and wine.

Where can you buy durian, giant yams, uncanned tofu, matzo cakes, tiger prawns, fresh bamboo and Indian dal without leaving the capital? The site's correspondent explored unusual food markets and shops in the capital: Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, African, as well as a kosher grocery store and a halal shop.

Every nation, every people has a set of unique products that are difficult to find outside their native country. For example, Russians abroad always lack buckwheat, cottage cheese, rye bread, gingerbread and doctor's sausage. The Spaniards suffer without jamon, and the Italians suffer without cheese and pasta. Likewise, the Vietnamese who come to Moscow are looking for fish sauce, tofu, the usual rice, noodles and seafood, while the Chinese are looking for chicken feet and pig ears. Indians in Russia lack dal (a type of lentil), Africans lack palm oil, yams and yam flour. It is difficult for Jews and Muslims to buy kosher and halal products in a regular supermarket.

It is not surprising that places have appeared in Moscow where you can find such products that are atypical for our region. Most trading platforms are designed only for their customers; sellers in Chinese, Vietnamese and Nigerian places have difficulty communicating in Russian and English, often they cannot even explain the name of a particular product and how to use it.

List of unusual markets and shops in Moscow:

• Chinese-Vietnamese market in the Moscow shopping center, Lyublino metro station;
• Chinese-Vietnamese shopping arcades at the "Gardener" market;
• Nigerian grocery store "Afroshop", metro station "Zhulebino";
• halal shop on Prospekt Mira
• Thai products in the Shanghai Cauldron, Akademicheskaya metro station;
• kosher grocery store "Pardes", metro station "Maryina Roshcha";
• Indian grocery store, Sevastopolskaya metro station.

Chinese-Vietnamese market in the Moscow shopping center, Lyublino metro station

The Asian market is located on the territory of the Moscow shopping center, a kilometer from the Lyublino metro station - the real Chinatown of modern Moscow. The retail location is not marked by anything; it is located in the building adjacent to the shopping center - a small panel two-story building with a laconic sign “7”. The existence of the market can only be understood by the number of people entering and leaving the building through the iron door with large white bags full of food. Inside the room, a characteristic smell, unfamiliar speech, strange goods and hieroglyphs, unusual faces of the Chinese and Vietnamese - create a strong impression that you are in another country.

In a small space there are about ten different stalls where you can buy everything you need to prepare Chinese, Vietnamese or Thai dishes. The market sells fresh vegetables, from the usual tomatoes, cucumbers and apples to durian, similar to the longan grape, ripe mangoes, bok choy leaves, daikon, fresh Chinese mushrooms and much more.

All packaging is covered with hieroglyphs, and the taste can often only be known empirically. A little hint: the redder the product is, the spicier it will be.

The size of the shopping arcades is noticeably larger than in Lublin; in addition to groceries, you can find Vietnamese barbers and massage therapists here. As in the first case, the market does not have any signs or signs; sometimes there are advertisements in Vietnamese, and the information in the service parking lot is duplicated in Mandarin. To get to the market you will need to walk down the road from checkpoint No. 4; it is located opposite the Pigeon Paradise pavilion, approximately 100 meters away.

The selection, as well as the atmosphere, roughly coincides with the market in Lublin. True, fresh bamboo, daikon, mango, fresh coconuts, chestnuts and bean sprouts are found here. One of the stalls sold live crayfish and sturgeon.

Recently, Moscow residents have increased interest in Vietnamese culture and food. Most of them, having tried the dishes of this cuisine in their homeland or in small cafes in the capital, want to cook them at home.

But where can you find suitable products, and at an affordable price? The answer is: in the Vietnamese market in .

In contact with

Classmates

The city traditionally has two types of Vietnamese trading floors:

• grocery;
• clothing

Food market in Maryina Roshcha

Maryina Roshcha, or rather its outskirts, is the location of the former Rybak Hotel, and now a hostel for citizens. Until October 2016, there was a medium-sized two-story building, in which there was a market on the ground floor and karaoke on the second.

Product range

The market building itself is no longer there, but there is a medium-sized store where you can buy:

In addition to the store on the ground floor, there are two cafes and a hairdresser. Previously, they were located on the street side, but now, due to renovation work, they have been moved to the hostel building itself.

In the cafe you can order:

Traditional pho soup with pork (bo), chicken (ga) and fish (cough)

• small portion - 250/150 rubles;
• large portion (0.5 liter) - 300/250 rub.

Rice noodles with Vietnamese kebab bun cha:

• large portion 300/200 rubles;
• small portion 250 rubles.

Nem rice noodle pancakes: from 55 to 70 rub. per piece depending on the filling (in both establishments).

Vietnamese bread kuay (kuey): 25/35 rubles per piece.

Samovar: 2500/4500 depending on the filling.

Directions

The hostel is located at the address: 17th Maryina Roshcha Ave., 11.

It can be reached from metro stations:

• Timiryazevskaya (bus number 126);
• Butyrskaya;

Nearest metro station. We leave the metro through the exit “to the street. Rustaveli." We go around the building and walk 50 meters to the stop, and then take bus number 19. We get to the “6th bus depot” stop, the police station located in the direction of the bus will serve as a reference point. We get off at the stop and walk to the right on this side for 5 minutes to a 6-story beige building - this is what you need.

• Marina Grove.

We leave the metro through the exit “to the Satyricon Theater”. We walk along the paved path and wait for bus number 19. We go to the “6th bus depot” stop and cross the road where there is a new multi-storey building. The further direction of movement is the same as Butyrskaya metro station.

Not a bad place! I bought fish sauce and ate a large portion of delicious pho bo for 250 rubles. However, prices have now risen slightly.

Clothing market “Dubrovka” and the market “for our own”

Large and neat indoor market. A special feature of the trading platform is that there are no huge queues or annoying sellers, so you can leisurely familiarize yourself with the assortment and choose the right product. A small disadvantage is the high price compared to other clothing markets.

The main assortment consists of:

The complex has several food courts where you can spend some time between shopping and have a hearty snack. The average bill at local establishments is from 100 to 600 rubles.

The building is located at: st. Sharikopodshipnikovaya, 13, building 3. You can get to it by metro: 3 stations from the ring, on the Lyublinskaya line. There is only one exit directly to T.K. You can also get there by car along the Third Transport Ring (third transport ring).

Opening hours: 7/0 from 6:00 to 20:00.

A variety of cool things of good quality))). By the way, I also bought a skirt in pavilion 194 in row 4, made in Turkey, with a large discount. I am very pleased with the purchase and shopping mall, and most importantly, the lack of Chinese things!!!

TC "Dubrovka" opens the doors to another small Vietnamese food market, which is located in one of the corridors of the parking lot behind the complex. It is better not to come here without a guide, as there is a chance you simply won’t find one.

On the local shelves you can find:

• bottles with soy sauce - 45 rubles/piece;
• spices and seasonings;
• lactose-free yoghurts;
• a variety of rice noodles for 10 rubles;
• cashew nuts 400 rub. / kg;

There are no sellers who speak Russian here, since the main visitors to the market are Vietnamese. And the goods sold here were imported by the Vietnamese themselves, who came to work or for other purposes.

TYAC "Moscow"

The largest retail center and one of the cheapest. The complex has an ideal internal infrastructure that meets the requirements of both visitors and sellers. There are ATMs, most retail outlets are equipped with payment terminals for card payments, there are representative offices of telecom operators, food outlets, and entertainment venues. Local sellers sell clothing, linen, accessories and souvenirs, household appliances and building materials.

TJK "Moscow" attracts wholesalers not only from Moscow and the region, but also from other regions of Russia. Its only drawback is the presence of loaders constantly transporting huge bales of goods, and alien speech mixed with specific smells. However, this is compensated by the low cost and variety of products.

It is located at Tikhoretsky Boulevard, No. 1, and is open daily from 5.00 to 20.00.

You can get there by metro: we get out of the last car at the Lyublino station and go up the stairs, and then through the lobby we go to the exit on Krasnodarskaya Street. We follow it towards Tikhoretsky Boulevard and get into a minibus or minibus with a sign “Tyak “Moscow”.

Large selection of budget clothing. Lots of ethnic eateries and cafes where you can grab a bite to eat. Overall the place is not bad, but specific.

Chinese-Vietnamese food market

Not far from the complex, on its territory, there is a small panel 2-story building that has no identification marks, except for a small sign “7”.

At first you won’t understand, but here is a real food market of Vietnamese-Chinese origin. It can only be identified by the large number of Asians who come or have already bought groceries.

Inside the room there are specific smells of fish and seafood, as well as spices. Unfamiliar speech is heard everywhere, strange goods with colorful hieroglyphs lie on the shelves. There are about 10 counters where you can buy Asian fruits, the freshest vegetables and herbs, king prawns, poultry (200 rubles per piece) and pork (250 rubles per kg), as well as:

• Chinese mushrooms from 100 rubles/kg;
• frozen snow crabs - 1800 rubles/kg;

• chicken legs in marinade - 50 rub. packaging (4 pcs.);
• rice - from 750 to 800 per 10 kg;
• rice wine or vodka - 500 rub./bottle.

The advantages of the outlet include:

• a varied selection of goods;
• pleasant service, which is surprising for such an establishment;
• There are no attempts at deception on the part of sellers, change is given down to the penny, and you get the product gram for gram.

Another interesting place is the Moscow-Hanoi MFC (multifunctional complex)

Unfortunately, the Vietnamese clothing market “Red River 2” is closed and does not function.

Most Moscow restaurants purchase their food from the Dorogomilovsky market. Many merchants offer free delivery, and porters with carts move around the market itself. Here you can find literally everything: from Antonov apples to Spanish jamon. And what is on the shelves is not the entire assortment. Here you can get durian, carom, and oysters.

The most popular food markets in Moscow.

The market is famous for its pleasant service, excellent quality products and reasonable prices. Fish rows occupy a special place here. You will not find such a variety of fish and seafood anywhere else. Here, common bream and roach coexist with Caspian kutum and Kuban fisherman.

The most popular clothing markets in Moscow.

1. Market "Dubrovka": This large building, consisting of 3 floors, is located on an area of ​​more than 170 thousand square meters. This huge shopping pavilion makes attractive offers to wholesalers and retail customers on a wide selection of goods for people of all ages: shoes and clothing, leather and fur products, travel and handbags, all types of suitcases, swimwear, curtains and textiles, perfumes, accessories. It’s impossible to list everything! The market rows are placed in strict order, and the shopping complex itself has a very comfortable location. It is located almost in the very center of the capital. You can get to it by any type of transport, and the entrance to this clothing bazaar is located directly opposite the entrance to the metro. It should be noted that the local selection of goods is not considered particularly pleasant or diverse. According to customer reviews, things are sometimes of very low quality, and the price for them cannot be called acceptable. Often, you have to try on the chosen item in an impromptu fitting room, behind a curtain or sheet, like in the old days. One of the advantages is the impressive size of the parking lot, accommodating more than 6.5 thousand cars.
Market address: metro station "Dubrovka", st. Sharikopodshipnikovaya, 13.
