Locals

Locals

Quirky bar by the station

Locals was opened by the same people who created the legendary Oldich Dress & Drink. Some offerings are reminiscent of Oldich, like the pike burger with cheddar cheese and ginger sauce, served with fries (380 rubles). Enjoy the view of Belorussky Station as you sample craft beers and ciders. A blackboard features "odd offers," like a free beer for those wearing brown boots.

The Mad Cook

Mad Cook

Italian cuisine with a twist

Situated on the bottom floor of a business center, the open kitchen and chic interior will impress any client you're looking to wine and dine. The food is interesting, but hardly as off-the-wall as the name would suggest. A vast wine list with many foreign vintages and the professional staff make this a safe bet for a pleasant meal. Perhaps bet to avoid the black meat popsicles.

KOF

KOF

A speciality caffeine fix

KOF, which stands for Knowledge of Coffee, has quietly been making a name for itself through appearances at food fairs and selling its own speciality coffee blend online. Last month KOF firmly entered the real world with a small coffee counter south of the river. It's a simple set up, but the coffee speaks for itself. Start your day with perfectly frothy cappuccino or keep it classic with a smooth espresso.
