Looking For The Freshest One

There are curated exhibits to attend, contemporary cuisine to savour and fresh local products to buy just one hour’s ride from Tula or three hours’ from Moscow.

When conceiving Privoz, its designers had one thing in mind, and that was to restore the century-long pattern of going to the market that sees people frequent the sellers they have been buying from for yeas and know very well, and therefore have no trouble telling who has the best mutton, tvorog or pickled cucumbers.

The quality of its produce has helped Privoz in the Best Retail Market category at the 2019 Russian Commerce contest.

The futuristic combination of two glass buildings with panoramic windows and wooden inlays is home to traditional stalls with farmers selling their produce. 

The designers wanted to keep the place compact. After all, it offers space to vendors selling only highest-quality products. Sellers are strictly selected. The overarching ambition - to support farmers and local producers, which explains a great number of family shops at Privoz.

Privoz is renowned for its local produce and gourmet foods brought here from all over Russia. Rybnaya Lavka, for example, boasts northern fish (broad whitefish, muksun, omul or nelma), five varieties of red caviar, salmon, trout and even sturgeon.
