The best restaurants Central & Golden Ring

Although it doesn't look good at first glance on its very classic façade, this small restaurant specialized in streetfood from all over the world (especially the famous Berlin kebab) is known for its nude industrial decor mixing concrete and bright colors (very instragrammable), its affordable prices and a very good coffee. You will find there as well Australian long black as Russian raf. Some very simple desserts will help to make your little coffee break a delicious stopover for an early supper in the middle of the crowd of regulars.

This 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.

Skewer 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.

One of the 5 star hotels in the heart of Moscow with a beautiful terrace overlooking the Kremlin. You can eat from Armenian or European cuisine or sip a cocktail while watching Red square. 

It 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.

We'll tell you right off the bat, not everyone will like this restaurant. It plays with the fashionable concept of raw food, where everything is left cooked and made of food assembling, it is also resolutely vegan and plays with the concept of medicinal cuisine. Whether you appreciate the principle or not, it's a culinary adventure that we advise you as such, in addition to being in a very calm (isolated at the bottom of a courtyard) and trendy setting. The little extra is the price: you can have several dishes and drinks for cheap.

As 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!

Vegan and without fuss, this establishment aims above all to gather its customers around the love for its cuisine. Thus, it chooses a rather simple canteen whose decor makes you feel at ease. It is a successful bet, and its good food at very affordable prices gives this Moscow restaurant chain a solid place on the vegan scene in the capital. Faced with the poverty of vegan choices in Moscow, Avocado Café offers a rich menu that includes cuisines from all over the world: Mexico, France, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, etc.

The only restaurant hovering over the Moskva. You are actually in the Bagration premises and the panoramic windows of the Most Restaurant & Lounge offer a picturesque view of the Krasnopresnenskaya quay, the Moscow skyscrapers and the government residence. During the holidays, the restaurant becomes the best platform to watch the fireworks. To get a place in the front row, you don't need to pay a deposit - you can reserve a table at the Most restaurant for free.

One 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.

It'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.

In 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.

Urozhay is a small restaurant located within the Red October Cluster and a good and cheap alternative to other local restaurateurs. 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.
