So here are some photos of some of the foods with as much explanation as I can remember
This is a salmon medallion with round fries. That is not asparagus but some kind of garnish for presentation.
Here is a top notch and simple dish of rice with seafood, topped with sesame seeds. Very delicious
We've visited a particular restaurant twice, and probably will return tomorrow for one last good meal. This is 5 kinds of sushi, including: salmon, eel & squid. Very delicious.
A salmon strip on a bed of vegetable salsa. Nicely spiced.
Steak tournedo with mashed potatoes and a few "fat chips." Literally called "fat chips" in the menus - probably why I pulled them out and didn't eat them!
This is the "national soup" of Tartarstan. Simply vegetables and some lamb. Nice spices.
We stumbled upon a really nice Italian place. We were the only two people there for a late lunch and I got this "sea gift pizza." The crust was delicious as was the meat: shrimp, squid, octopus tenacles, a fish (forget the name) and olives. It was good. I ate all but one piece. But I wouldn't get it again. Too "fishy" for pizza for me.
A nice cheese plate with some walnuts and grapes. The dish in the middle is honey, which was very good on the brie, which my companion wasn't as fond of. :)
A marvelous brownie with a liquid chocolate filling with ice cream. The grape-like fruit is apparently good for mental acuity as well as your heart. It was powerfully tart but I still don't know its name.
A chocolate covered mousse with some banana cake inside. Very good.
So that's some of the good food so far. Another week's worth to come and you can bet it'll be something different each day.
