- Start your day at a central location in Moscow. Here, you open your first clue to find a hidden food gem that serves authentic Russian pastries. Excited, you both read through the riddle, start your Google Maps, and embark on your journey. The first location brings you to a tiny bakery tucked away down a quiet alley. You try their freshly baked Pirozhki and it's so delicious that you decide to take some home. Next, you get another clue that leads you to an iconic 'milk bar', a Soviet-era cafeteria where you try some Borscht.
- Arriving at a venue that serves the popular Russian ice cream, your clue adds a twist - you have to order in Russian. After some laughter-filled moments, your date successfully orders two ice creams in Russian, and you both enjoy a sweet treat. The next clue takes you to a Vendor Dosaev's store, a place known for a huge variety of traditional sweets and teas.
- The last clue of the day leads you to your favorite part of the treasure hunt. It's a dinner location at a well-regarded Georgian restaurant. You try their specialty Khachapuri as the dinner, ending your food adventure on a high note. This Treasure hunt not only leaves your taste buds satisfied but also creates a beautiful memory of your date in Moscow.
Preparation steps:
- To prepare for a food treasure hunt, start by creating a list of local food venues and restaurants that serve authentic Russian cuisine. The list should include bakeries, cafeterias, dessert shops, and restaurants, all within your budget. Each place will be their own hidden gem in the city. Next, write out clues that leads to these specific destinations.
- You'll also want to pack a lightweight bag with essentials. You'll want to bring bottled water, any needed medications, a phone charger and some extra cash. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriate for the weather.
- Before leaving, check the operating hours of the venues involved in your treasure hunt. This is to ensure that you don't arrive and find that a place is closed. Also, remember to be respectful of the businesses you're visiting.

Some tips:
- It's always a good idea to bring an umbrella just in case the weather forecast ends up being wrong and it rains. Remember to have a backup plan in case any venue is closed. Look up a few extra places and have their information handy.
- Make sure you pace yourself when it comes to eating. You will be eating for an extended period, so it's a good idea to avoid overeating at the first few stops. Leave some room to enjoy everything.
- It is polite to order a small item, even when just visiting a store for a clue. Use this as an opportunity to sample a variety of Russian foods!
