Baran i Rapan
Баран-Рапан
A leading Sochi creative restaurant beside the Winter Theatre. The name 'Baran' (lamb) stands for mountain meats and herbs, and 'Rapan' (sea snail) for Black Sea seafood, with local ingredients and an extensive wine list.
Opened in December 2014 on the ground floor at 11 Theatre Street, beside the Winter Theatre, with a plant-filled terrace. Half the name stands for meat and herbs from the Caucasus mountains, and the other half for Black Sea fish and seafood. Some of the vegetables come from its own greenhouse. Dishes mentioned in sources include Black Sea sea snails, stone bream, root vegetable purée with pike-perch, beetroot-braised duck leg and lamb back with red pepper sauce. Desserts include the signature 'Three Chocolates'. Several Sochi restaurant lists rank it near the top, and booking ahead is advised in high season. Prices vary widely between platforms; more recent data put it at 2,500–6,000 rubles per person. Walkable from the seafront promenade.
