Aquarel closed some time ago but the venue re-opened just days ago under the name Okean. They changed the food concept and now serve honest and good French / Russian food at very reasonable prices. The venue has always been one of my favorites in St[...]
We went to this little all-in-it-self-avantgarde-tree-house that stands there in between high and so not matching stone high-rises. We weren't actually that impressed by the exhibition - at first. When we came to the room that you find as long away [...]
Been twice the first time after waiting over an hour the chef did not show up so you could only order drinks...gave up that day but, went back another day.....and glad I did! French onion soup was big bowl of onion soup with cheese crostini on top..[...]

One of the most preferred hostel in years of traveling. Being in the center and close to several subway lines it is the ideal for short stays, while one could easily remain for longer periods. A common kitchen and great living room makes it very com[...]
Great place! The Hostel is located in a nice and safe area in the very center of Moscow. It`s a place where you feel very much at home and find new friends. It`s very clean and wonderfully warm in winter :) The staff is friendly and always there to [...]
Something unusual and special is happening at the Other Side every Tuesday night. Chef Greg Easter is presenting Nouveau Russian cuisine for a prepaid clientele of 16 people each week. I think he may be the best chef now active in St Petersburg. [...]

I had a wonderful time in Hostel Moscow. The place is clean, and is very much in the centre of the city. The staff is very helpful and actually they speak English which is a big deal in Russia.[...]
I have undertaken study here for one or two weeks for each of the past four years. I have really enjoyed the more recent teachers as they are good - explain grammar in English but the rest is taught in Russian.People here are noticing the improveme[...]
This used to be a fantastic menu. For some reason they took away favourites like the chicken Satays and tried to move the menu more up market. This misses the point because the fantastic thing about Thai food is the simplicity of it and the mix of f[...]
Airy?? it certainly is not.. it's underground with no windows or ventilation.. very smokey! However it's a riot! The owner will even strip on the bar and blow smoke rings out his butt![...]
I'd like to send to you a bolshoe spasibo, thank you very much, grazie mille. Everything was super, my family was just happy about the flat number 100, it was great, both kvartira and the area. They could walk and sleep and feel at ease. And my othe[...]
Dear LikeHome! I recently rented an apartment from you in Moscow. I just wanted you to know that your organization was a joy to deal with, perhaps the best organized company I had the pleasure to do business with in Moscow. I will certainly recommen[...]
