    Many people consider Cafe Pushkin to be the best restaurant in Moscow, serving a wide selection of both French and Russian cuisine. The restaurant itself appears to be a mansion and while walking along the street we took pictures of the beautiful building before realizing that this was Cafe Pushkin...then we gulped and looked down at our attire.

    There are three levels to Cafe Pushkin. The first floor is open 24 hours, dark and secluded with stone walls. The second (main floor) is where most of the action happens and a third floor, a rooftop to dine on in the summertime.

    Fiercely attractive and clean-cut Russian men wait on you dressed in old-style vests and coats, old books adorn the walls in a library with globes and telescopes, it is decorated in pre-revolutionary style and it feels like you are stepping back in time. It is a really classy place and many a Russian apparently go here to impress.

    We dined on pelmini, beef stroganoff, caviar and blini, and Russian dumplings. The food was exceptional and delicious.

    Cafe Pushkin is high-priced and it did pain me a bit when I saw the bill, but it is a must-do, at least once, when visiting Moscow. Be prepared to pay approximately $50USD per person (not including alcohol).

    We wanted Russian cuisine, and we wanted the best.

    Beef stroganoff. Melted right in my mouth.

    Russian Cuisine: Restauraunt "Kitezh-Grad"

    Two halls of the restaurant are paradise for a Russophile. At least "3 happinesses" are guaranteed for him. The first one is the interior designed in Russian cheap popular prints style. Wood and thematic things are everywhere. The second one is staff in national suites. And the third one is the menu.
    From noon till 5 p.m. - an original lunch, reminding of smorgasbord (along with two tens of cold collations and a couple of garnishes, there are first courses - meat and fish - on the table). You can also taste medallions on ringlets of marrows with sauce of mushrooms, roasted in nuts pork, beef with white mushrooms, chicken with stuffing of pork and cranberries.
    Before leaving the "Kitezh-Grad", you can step on an ancient coin - they say that it''s a pledge of material well-being. Banquets and fourchettes can be organized in the restaurant. A free parking lot is available.

    Cuisine: european, russian
    Additional service: "take away" service, banquet service, parking
    Directions: 10 min. on foot from the metro station.
    Face control: yes
    Comments to prices: Dinner for two, excluding alcohol - from $60.
    Credit Cards: American Express, Maestro, Master Card, Union, Visa
    Working hours: Daily from noon till midnight.

    This a really nice cafè in old Arbat street. There is a huge buffet to chose from and also a nice selections of beers.
    Actually this is the place where I found the cheapest beer: less than 3 euro for half liter.
    The buffet is full of very tasty salads and there are chefs that cook at the moment fish and meat dishes.They also have sushi but I did not try it.

    The Moscow Salmon cooked with mushrooms and potatos was excellent.

    This restaurant is dressed like a duck blind in a hunting lodge and serves traditional, kind of country style, Russian cuisine.

    I liked the appetizers. Ths place is decorated really well, with stuffed bears and other things to give you a really good feel for the food.

    That was a great place of our last VT meeting.

    It was great! Thanks to all participants. I hope we will meet again soon. Now I see that Moscow VT tradition is alive!

    Best buffet of all I've seen in Moscow.

    I would call it the one and only of such type....

    The restaurant which specialises on cuisine of Russian North and Far East. Was set up by one enthusiast, who surfed Siberia and Urals from the North to the South and from the East to the West...

    Pines, sky blue walls and ceiling, transparent floor with a shallow river (a real water from the river Ob', which is not shallow at all :))), a helicopter, a TV screen in the corner showing different expiditions and a cute white bear that is the surroundings but that is not all....

    Of course the food itself, just to give you a few names - muksun and shokur (Northen fish), omul' (the type of fish which lives only in lake Baikal), venison, Pole partridge, wild goose, etc., etc., etc... Everything is fresh and is brought to the restaurant directly from expeditions.... one of my friends claims that she found a few pellets in the partridge served to her...

    Try local nalivka (a kind of liqueur) made of cloudberries, cowberries and cranberries, don't forget about khrenovukha (made of horse radish), harsh but very healthy drink...

    After dining you can try ISTOBKA, which is Russian banya, located in the same place. Banya and massage will cost $150 for two persons for an hour.

    Russian, European and Georgian food. In the evenings they have live music. They also have a wide range of wines etc. Staff is very friendly. During weekdays they also have a business lunch.

    Open every day from 12 am till the last guest leaves.

    I ate lamb shashlik with fried potatoes and didn't actually manage to finish my dish.
