Piroshky-A Unique Russian Bakery and Restaurant in Bellevue WA

Piroshky in Bellevue WA Offers Home Cooked Food at Food Court Prices

For those of you tired of the same old breakfast or lunch sandwiches, a delicious alternative awaits you at the unique Russian bakery and restaurant in Crossroads mall, located on NE 8^th Street and N 156^th Avenue in Bellevue WA. Named after the Russian Piroshky (also spelled Piroshki), the bakery is famous for these pastry pockets stuffed with vegetables or meats. The Piroshky is either baked or fried, and has an overall dry texture, unlike the Greek Spanakopita or the Turkish Bourekas. Think of the Piroshky as a savory pocket of bread filled with seasoned meat, fish or vegetables. Visit the Piroshky slideshow to see the wonderful selection of baked goods in this unique Russian bakery and restaurant.

Try the heavenly Smoked Salmon Pate Piroshky or the Chicken Broccoli Cheese Piroshky. For a vegetarian choice, try the Cabbage Mushroom Piroshky. But don't stop there, this lovely bakery, decorated like a Gypsy's caravan, is filled with other Russian delights.

Sample the home cooked flavors of the Russian lunch entrees, like the cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and ground beef, or the meat loaf and Lula Kebab, which are both served with mashed potatoes. And don't miss out on the Beef Stroganoff.

For a lighter meal try the traditional chicken soap loaded with vitamins, vegetables, chicken and matzo balls, or skip straight to dessert and indulge in a fine selection of Russian pastries, from Strudels and Turnovers to Éclairs and Khvorost flaky cookies. And for a low fat dessert, try the baked apples, with their tangy, crunchy sweetness.

While the food and baked goods at Piroshky taste like delicious, homemade cooking, this is not a place to go for fine dining. Located at the Crossroads Mall food court, Piroshky is very informal, with only a few small tables available for sitting past the Gypsy cart. It is an excellent idea to take your food to go. Many customers prefer it this way, and Piroshky have excellent carry out containers, even for the soups.
