Russian Food Stores in Zurich?

Does anyone know of any Russian food stores here in Zurich? There seem to be Russian restaurants but not any stores selling Russian goods. I've even asked some Russians and they say there isn't one. A city as big as Zurich must have one, right?

2
I'm also interested in Russian or Polish Food Stores in Zurich, anybody knows something?

There used to be a russian food store in Seefeld, and a Polish one at Hegibachplatz, but I think both are gone now. A few products seem available at this online store http://www.russen-shop.ch/products-page/

There is a good polish restaurant in zurich called the Jolka Polka http://jolkapolka.ch/

Hi

How about similar shops in Bern? Perhaps I won't fancy a Russian store too much but does anyone have an idea about a Ukrainian shop? I'm in love with Obolon' and Lvivske beer So, having a store like that would be great

there are no any Russian food stores in Zurich. The closest I know are in Germany, Mix Markt. They sell appropriate kefir and buckwheat, Also kefir is good in Edeka, Germany.

Yep, it's a half decent store. Doesn't have salads though.

Hello, I am from Lithuania, also miss some food... was thinking that should be possible to find curt (творог) or "гречка" (I even don't know how it is in english...) Maybe someone knows how it's calls in german? I live near to Austrian border Au-Lustenau. Maybe there possible to find curt!

10
Гречка = buckwheat = buchweizen

творог= cottage cheese = Cottage cheese :-)

11
You can get buckwheat (гречка) from turkish/asian stores. http://www.barkat.ch/ has it, for example.

Cottage cheese that they sell here in normal shops (denner, coop, migros, etc) is not really "творог" but rather "домашний сыр" (at least that's what we call it in Latvia).

12
Thanks a lot! will try this cottage cheese! In case I won't manage to cook my favorites things from this cheese- will go to Austria- will try to find curt there....

13
There is Yarmarka http://www.yarmarka.ch/

They have a group in FB https://www.facebook.com/pages/%D0%A...o&tab=overview

14
You probably may want to check this one out then, looks like a decent sklep? do a search for "Eastern European delicacies in Bern" on Facebook, they have an address and pics there

15
cottage cheese is not exactly tvorog. Tvorog is drier... maybe Quark is right? I don't like it though so haven't tried

16
In German MixMarkt they sell Lithuanian cottage cheese... or maybe it is curd or tvorog or whatever

17
my wife is Ukrainian, we would love to know where we can get some pickles?

And not Russian but they had pickles last time I checked, was the Hungarian food shop near fork & bottle in Zurich.

Please would you enlighten the ignorant what in your opinion the difference is between a Russian and a Ukrainian food shop which is situated in Europe?

20
Right? When food choices become political we've reached a new level of absurdity. Yeah, Ukrainian Borscht tastes different than Russian borscht but the products available to Russians and Ukrainians in stores and markets are exactly the same.
