Read moreYou will come to this restaurant especially for its location and its terrace nestled in the greenery. Not that the kitchen is of poor workmanship but it is surpassed by the setting. An ideal place to laze around in the deckchairs enjoying a delicious view of the Hermitage Park and an excellent option for an aperitif before a show at the Nouvel Opéra located directly behind the restaurant. Be careful, you pay full price for the setting and you need to be patient in case of heavy crowds.
SOVIETSKIYE VREMENA
Read moreNamed "The Soviet Era", this cheburechnaya announces the colour, which is reflected in the tone of its decoration: posters delivering Lenin's messages, covers of old editions of Pravda on the wall or a logo featuring the sickle and hammer, the Soviet imagination is revived from the comfortable distance of today. In fact, this restaurant has been in existence since the fall of the Wall and since then its prices have been successfully aimed at the popular masses. Thus, it is less than 100 RUB for a shot of vodka with its pickle.
RECEPTOR
Read moreFun atmosphere for lovers of healthy food and fusion, with a strong Asian inspiration. The menu offers a wide choice, including several vegetarian options, always welcome in Moscow. The dishes are good, fresh, and the open kitchen inspires confidence. Finally, the room is colorful and cosy, giving in to what is fashionable in the millenials nowadays. You are advised to try one of the delicious siphonful whole fruit teas offered by the restaurant. All in all, an imaginative place that will be good for both stomach and eyes.
VKUSNIE SHTUCHKI
Read moreThis ice cream parlour's exclusive creations are full of unexpected flavours: fresh cinnamon cream, green olives or cep cream. It's so unusual that we'll either love it or hate it, but we'll remember it for sure! Each ball is served separately to avoid confusion of tastes. The service, a little "old-fashioned" Soviet-style, is not very warm but it is part of the decorum of this institution (and saves on tips!). Another specialty of the house: Italian desserts.

CO-OP GARAGE
Read moreGarage café built in the middle of nothing in the summer of 2015, in an abandoned yard, and quickly became a beautiful and trendy place. The American industrial style is very successful with a large pool table in the middle of the room, beautiful vintage motorcycles. The large windows and the huge courtyard promise pleasant moments in summer. The menu is without fuss with pizzas, salads, some Asian dishes, good breakfasts, draught beers, wine and strong alcohol. On weekends, it is often packed with a rather young and local crowd.
TAWNY BAR
Read moreFrom the street, it is impossible to imagine that inside is a two-storey restaurant-bar dedicated to Portuguese gastronomy. Tawny Bar is a tribute to the Portuguese culture. The walls are decorated withazulejos, a statue of the Virgin Mary watches over the place in a bottle-shaped niche. The lower courtyard of the building serves as one of the most romantic terraces in the city, bathed in greenery and climbing plants. Reservations are recommended for the terrace.
TARKHUN
Read moreThe name of this Georgian restaurant comes from the eponymous Caucasian tarragon, a spice inseparable from Georgian cuisine. It is also the name of a tarragon elixir-based soda created in 1887 by the pharmacist Laguidze, so popular in the countries of the former USSR. For those who are interested in Georgian gastronomy, the menu is illustrated with (beautiful) photos of the dishes on offer, very useful for making your choice. Meat lovers will be delighted with the famous shashlikis, those skewers whose meat is marinated, seasoned and cooked slowly over a wood fire.
ZODIAC
Read moreZodiac proves that you can be an Asian restaurant located in a shopping mall (ground floor, a little hidden to the left of the entrance) and have standing. In fact, the restaurant is the favorite of many Muscovites, thanks to its modern and pleasant setting, its wide menu that picks from different Asian cuisines (including sushi) and especially thanks to the fact that each plate that comes out of the kitchen is a culinary slap in the face. Moreover, when you leave the kitchen, besides having enjoyed the meal, you don't regret the amount of the bill which is very reasonable.
MISSION
Read moreStill little known, the Mission restaurant contributes to the mission of proselytizing vegans on the Moscow population. Mission's efforts are focused on ethical food, which is also not very popular in the capital region. This includes numerous readaptations of well-known European and American dishes with vegan sauce and a long offer of ethical craft beers (16 in all). So it's a good spot for vegan apprentices or mixed couples with grumpy husbands who don't want to give up their habits.
BISTRO « DEJA VU »
Read moreFor breakfasts (blinis), meals or simply take a coffee. The price is reasonable and the atmosphere is pleasant.
RESTAURANT BLINCHIKI
Read moreTake a few euros per person for a rich snack. A small retrait café, with a small terrace for the beautiful days. Blinis (all thin and thick pancakes as we know them) are varied and a little fat, pirojkis not bad. There are no alcoholic drinks but kefir (sour milk).
GARAGE CAFE
Read moreIn any case, you will go to the Garage, a modern building nestled in the heart of Gorky Park. It is indeed the site of the Garage Museum, one of the city's famous contemporary art spots. The restaurant deserves a special mention because the locals treat it as such. Often Muscovites come to the Garage just to have a drink (including one of their delicious cocktails) or to eat good and cheap food in a charming industrial setting. The space opened by bay windows overlooking the park is exceptional, even more so in winter.
CAFE SLAVIANKA
Read moreAn Siberian restaurant whose atmosphere, very joyful in the evening thanks to its typical orchestra, overlooks the cold cold of the Far East. The decoration, with its many matriochkas and wooden cooking utensils, is a success. The kitchen, finally Russian national, is excellent, and prices do not exceed $ 5 for a dish.
KATIOUCHKA
Read moreLocated in the Sakhalin-Sapporo hotel, a westernized restaurant. Reasonable price, from $ 2 to $ 6 per dish.
MAJESTIC HALL
Read moreTwo very large halls in this brewery that was the rallying point of the Soviet intelligentsia and counted in its walls some Nobel Prizes and quite a few dissidents who had to flee during the Brejnean years. From that time there is only the beautiful Art Nouveau décor. The new middle class invaded this place, which is not lacking in charm. The spacious dining room with its evening concerts is complemented by a more cozy bar. The menu (highly furnished) offers Russian and European dishes at affordable prices. Next to the restaurant, Metropol offers a "gastropub" which serves excellent home-brewed beers as well as a beautiful bakery shop, all located in the same building.
LOUCH
Read moreThis trendy place combines a restaurant, a cocktail bar and a contemporary art gallery in a design spirit with red brick walls and high ceilings. This gigantic loft, housed in a former lighting factory (louch in Russian means "the ray of light"), houses contemporary art by well-known Russian artists and attracts a "have you seen me" audience. The program includes excellent cocktails, a refined menu and good international cuisine. Dress and furnish your wallet accordingly if you are in the mood.
EXPEDICIA
Read moreSkewer of venison, pelmeni with bear meat, Lena sturgeon carpaccio. Here you can taste the specialities of the Russian regions (Siberia, the Urals, the Far East and the Far North) in a falsely rustic but truly warm setting. Plan to spend a whole evening here
This place alsooffers relaxation in a banya and shopping on the ground floor in a trophy shop: for example, next to the equipment needed to go on an expedition, you can buy chapkas and mittens but also the skin of a brown bear.
SKY LOUNGE
Read moreIt is mainly for the splendid view of Moscow which opens from this panoramic restaurant, but also to see the famous and impressive building dating back to the 1970 s of the Academy of Sciences of Russia. The place is often chosen by Moscovites for romantic dinners or simply for evenings between friends. Its fusion cuisine will delight the finest palates. Taste the famous duck-based bortsch, served with apples and ducks or crab pelts. Reservation recommended.
BELLEVUE
Read moreIn the brewery of the hotel Kempisky, we are right next to the holy saints. Through the windows of the restaurant offering a 360 ° view, all the wonders of the center of Petersburg are discovered. The green tones and gold roofs of the Ermitage are so close that we could touch them. Clients are tourists and Russians who discuss business or love. The view is the main asset but the food is also good and proposes what is most fine in Russian gastronomy, including the Kamtchatka crab, Caspian caviar or sturgeon tartare.
TSAR
Read moreThe Tsar's large room actually evokes the imperial moods of the late th century, with light light and night. A room brin in this restaurant in the centre, which is especially full in the evening. The public is quite chic, especially Russians, because this new address is not yet known to tourists. Fine Russian cuisine, including fish dishes, great choice of vodkas. There are also specialities from all the empire. As a result, you can enjoy the Siberian pelmenis, as well as a reindeer dish with wild bilberries (1 200 RUB), a great speciality of the great Russian North. The Tsar also offers a very good breakfast, which makes it possible to enjoy the decor without necessarily ruining you.
TBILISSO
Read moreProbably one of the best Georgian restaurants in the city right now. Careful and intimate decor, traditional but innovative cuisine... You should be able to taste everything, but we recommend the shashlikis (marinated and grilled meat or fish), the khinakali, these large meat ravioli with tarragon filling, and the khachapouri, this typical bread dough stuffed with cheese and available in as many recipes as there are villages in Georgia. Devil-friendly and good for licking your fingers!
SAPIENS EST
Read moreAs word of mouth has taken hold, the place is becoming more and more fashionable. Indeed, Sapiens Est combines a minimalist and elegant design interior reminiscent of the city's many lounge bars, with a modern kitchen, attentive, highly efficient staff, and extremely competitive prices for Moscow in general, and the city centre in particular. If the high quality of the dishes served or the kindness and smiles of the staff cannot convince you to come back, the excellent value for money of the establishment is hard to ignore!
CHEMODAN
Read moreCreated by Oleg Menshikov, this restaurant was one of the first to become a speciality of Siberian cuisine among the gourmets of the capital. He had enjoyed it so much during a film shoot in Krasnodar that he decided to share it with Muscovites. A cuisine and products that are now very fashionable. The main room plunges us into the cosy lounges with subdued lights and walls lined with the large Russian residences of the end of the 19th century. The menu changes throughout the year according to the authorized hunting and fishing periods
VAI ME !
Read moreVai Me is part of another Georgian fast food chain, which, as you can see, is quite popular in the capital. The strength of this chain, which makes it one of the best in the capital, is a very good quality/price ratio: its cuisine, khachapuri, khinkali in mind, its staff helping out with tourists, its maps translated into English (with even gluten-free choices!) and a friendly setting. In short, it's a smart choice between two museum visits! We like the cheese khachapuri with an egg.

The tapas counter stretches further than your eyes can see. Among the attractive offers are Russian à la carte menus and all-you-can-eat borscht on Sundays.
BIRDS
Read moreOne of the highest panoramic restaurants in the world with a breathtaking view of Moscow. With its contemporary and luxurious setting combining restaurant, lounge and club, it would not be out of place in a commercial with George Clooney or in the next James Bond movie. The chef of the establishment, Alexander Raylan, makes our taste buds sing with his cuisine bringing together Europe and Asia. Here the table is always a delight, so the Birds regularly offers new gastronomic shows and artistic performances.
BELUGA
Read moreIt's a restaurant, yes, very chic too with a panoramic view on the Red Square. You can of course come and eat their very high quality cuisine, but we recommend the place for its vodka. Indeed, the place belongs to the famous brand of vodka Beluga whose reputation is not to be made any more. The bar is different from the others, in that it declares itself a "caviar brewery". You can enjoy vodka-caviar tastings that are guaranteed to be among the best in the city! But you'll have to pay the price.
CAFÉ SEVER
Read moreIn the Sever café (word meaning "North" in Russian), nestled in the heart of the StrEAT gastronomic market, you can find typical dishes from the Russian Arctic, reinterpreted according to the modern tastes of the capital's city dwellers. On the menu: hamburger with salmon and baked vegetables (490 RUB - 7 €), whitefish fillet with ratatouille (550 RUB - 7.80 €), reindeer tartar (450 RUB - 6.40 €). As you can see, all in all it's a good and cheap way to enjoy traditional products, especially from hunting and fishing in nature.
TEHNIKUM
Read moreThe Michelin-starred establishment, itself part of the White Rabbit group of restaurants and bars, is decorated in a chic industrial style with large windows. It is very popular with Moscow bobos and influencers. This pillar of bistronomy offers an original menu and a rather interesting quality/price ratio. On the whole, it is a very good address, with affordable prices for its standing. It is worth noting the chef's very nice cocktail menu to go with it all!

It offers mainly fast food and street food American style, burgers/fries but also some local, Asian and Ukrainian cuisine. You will eat well whatever you order, but before you sit down pay attention to the crowds, the restaurant really doesn't handle its service well when it is under pressure and you might have a bad experience.
