I thoroughly enjoy when my European friends state confidently "you must try X place." Hence, I found myself at Kalinka's, a Russian cuisine restaurant in Grenoble. Challenge #1: translating Russian titles with French descriptions into English. Fortunately, if you know a little you can get by. The owner also knows some English. Come to find out, he also owns three other restaurants throughout Grenoble and he came here from Armenia when he was 17. A garrulous fellow. I ordered the Assiette de Pelmeni - Siberiens. This featured Russian raviolis stuffed with a mixture of pork and beef and topped with fresh herbs. This dish also came accompanied by a dish with creme fraiche. We were instructed to take two spoonfuls and heartily mix in into our dish. We obeyed. It was great. Thoroughly enjoyable, very filling. If you get the chance to visit, try mixing and matching ordered dishes with friends. That's the reason why my friend brought me here. read more
