Restaurants and Cafes
Within the same Moscow city block you can find both good and bad service, five-star fine dining and hot dog snack vans. Muscovites love going out, so most restaurants tend to fill up quickly. To be sure of getting a table, make sure to book in advance. Be aware that many restaurants morph into bars and clubs in the later hours of the evening, so make early reservations if you want some peace and quiet. Tipping is one Western tradition that Russians are making their own. Tip for good service only - around ten percent is considered fair.

This is an amazing place. I think it is great!...Turandot
I have to admit it is one of the best restaurants in Moscow. French-style manson with elements of modern decor looks gorgeous and perfect for special events....Khacha-puri
Lovely place great for a date. Has a live piano player and is quite cosy and intimate. Fabulous food and decent inexpensive wine....Syrnaya Dyrka
I was so excited about this place and was incredibly disappointed. I've been in Moscow for a while so have adjusted my standards accordingly but the service was the worst I've come across yet....Turandot
Highly recommend the brunch. 3 900Rub with alcohol Sat and Sun. Great fun all you can drink all you can eat....Mr Lee
Quite pricey (especially the sushi) but smart interior and some really good dishes. Recommend the Singapore noodles for value for money and the Thai green curry was good....Lady Jane
Great little place perfect for a meal after the Bolshoi or a night out when the DJ gets going. Thai soups are superb and reasonably priced....Bontempi restaurant
Excellent italian food nice ambience and a perfect view on christ savior church....Beverly Hills Diner
This is an amazingly nice Restaurant.The atmosphere the receptive nature of the workers and the tasteful burgers makes this place what its is....Sisters Grimm
Good for drinks and food in the evening but avoid it for lunch. Terrible service and a poor business lunch option....Il Patio
I remember first eating in this place back in 1993 before it was called Il Patio (but I don't recall its name back then)....Cafe Margarita
The food was ordinary but the atmosphere particularly Russian and lots of fun. A nice cozy place to sit and drink a tea on a Sunday afternoon in the autumn or winter....Muu Muu
Good menu selection and a place that your Russian friends can afford. I don't recall any "stodginess" to the menu but I might have been used to Russian fare by then....Coffee Bean
Coffee Bean is permanently located across the street from where it used to be. Coffee Mania set up in the old location which is a shame....Coffee Mania
If you want to spend $55 for a salad mushroom risotto and iced tea (which cost about $10 itself) then Coffee Mania is the place for you....
