 Gastronomy

Baku has a broad range of restaurants offering international cuisine, from Chinese and Italian to Indian and Russian. Azerbaijani cuisine is a mixture of Turkish, Georgian, Iranian and central Asian flavours , with lots of meat - lamb, beef and poultry - and very spicy. It is based on pilaf, that is rice that has been braised, with meat, or fish and vegetables. The condiments used are saffron, mint and coriander and aubergines, cabbage or spinach accompany the dishes. The most widespread fish is sturgeon, which can be fresh or smoked and caviar enthusiasts are also in for a treat. In principle, everything is abundantly washed down with black tea, and, despite the presence of a predominantly Muslim population, local wines and brandies, Russian vodka and imported alcohol is freely available.
