Cafe Pushkin

A Russian classic and an iconic restaurant in Moscow. Do not miss a meal at this elegant restaurant that has been a reference to good food in town for years now. The atmosphere and décor resembles an aristocratc mansion and brings you a flare of nobility in its various ambiences, you can choose from the rich Library, the magnificent Fireplace, or the Pharmacy halls, the latter with a string quartet playing some nights of the week. On good weather days ask for a table in the summer terrace with views to treetops on Tverskoy Boulevard and domes of the Nativity Church. Food is superb: from Russian classics like stroganoff ou blinis with caviar, sturgeons, smoked fish, herring, to more international dishes. We also tried the typical borsch, which happened to be delicious, and some Russian dumplings, followed by french inspired éclair for dessert. The menu is actually quite extense, there will surely be something of your taste.
