Hospitality

Orthodox monasteries have long been known for their hospitality and welcoming spirit. At the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, we continue this tradition as we want our tourists and pilgrims to experience our rich gastronomic traditions. There is our café-shop “Hlebnaya Lavka” on the territory of the monastery. There you can have a quick and cheap snack. Hot tea, coffee, monastery drinks and fresh bread, pastries, Pelmeni and hand-made Varenyky are always available there. If you have time and want to taste real old Russian cuisine, we invite you to the restaurant-museum of Russian gastronomic culture, “Gostevaya Izba”. This restaurant is located right next to the gates of the monastery in the direction of the Duck Tower (“Utochya Bashnya”). The monastery shop at Krasnogorskie torgovye ryady offers a wide range of high-quality and healthy products.
