Italian, French, American Cuisine Restaurants in Moscow:

The
finest European and American restaurants in Moscow.

 



Syrnaya Dyrka (Cheese Hole). If
you

ever
thought about finding a restaurant in Moscow that would be exactly
like some small cozy European family restaurant, this
is the place. Well hidden in Kitai Gorod sidelanes, this is the
best restaurant I visited in the last few months in Moscow. It
has a very comfortable environment and delicious European, mainly
Swiss, cuisine. The smooth interior is made to look like you've
walked inside a cheese hole, hence the name. A nice terrace outside.
Average bill is about $30 for a person. The restaurant is very
small, so reservations are highly recommended. A great place for
any occasion, especially, if you want to relax.

Address: Moscow, Pokrovsky Boulevard,
#6/20, metro Kitai Gorod or Taganskaya (violet line), tel.:
(095) 917-1676.






Hard Rock Cafe Moscow. Opened
at the end of 2003 this place become popular immediately, though
the meals are disgusting and overpriced and alcohol beverages

are no good either. People come there to listen to the hits of
1950-1990, dance and get fun. Visitors are mostly 20-30 years old
Russians and foreigners. Go there if you want to get drunk,
meet new friends, have good time, or just put the add Moscow to
your worldwide Hard Rock cafe collection (if you're into it).

Address: Arbat str., 44/1, metro Smolenskaya (blue line), tel.:

T.G.I.
Friday's. Back
to America with traditional US interiors and food. Large steaks,
great variety of cocktails, and lively atmosphere. Average bill
about $30 per person.

st., #18/2. Tel (095) 200-3921. Opened 14.00 - 1.00.

 

 

Cicco
Pizza.
Just
a good pizzeria, the main advantage is the location: right
on Kamergersky
pereulok, a few meters from Tverskaya street. The pizzas cost
from $5 to $10. By the way, there are a lot of other restaurants
nearby,
an internet cafe, and a bank, so it's quite practical for tourists.

Address: Kamergersky Pereulok, #5/7 (near
MKhAT theater),
metro Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya. Opened 9.00 to 0.00.

 

La
Grotta. Quite
known Italian restaurant conveniently located in Patriarshy Ponds
area. Serves tasty Italian classics for moderate
prices. A dinner will cost about $30 per person, and from Monday
to Friday
from
12.00 till 16.00 the business-lunch is offered for $7 only.

The interior is sort of minimalist style, so if there are not
many people around you may feel a bit lonely.

(near Patriashy Ponds area). Tel.: (095) 200-3057.
