The Olympic Park in Sochi, Russia was developed for the 2014 Winter Olympics. As it became a major international hub during this period, the array of food offered expanded significantly, blending local Russian cuisine with international fare. Before the games, Sochi was primarily known for classic Russian and Caucasian dishes, reflecting the diversity and agricultural richness of the region. The subtropical climate allows for a variety of fruits and vegetables to thrive, while the Black Sea provides an abundance of fresh seafood. With global influences introduced during the Olympics, the culinary scene in Sochi has evolved, but traditional dishes remain at the heart of its food culture.
Please note that while many dishes can be vegetarian, it is always best for tourists to confirm with the restaurant to ensure that the dishes meet their dietary preferences, as some traditional recipes may include meat broths or other non-vegetarian ingredients.
