Mandy?€™s Apothecary

Mandy's Apothecary Irish Pub

A small taste of home

If you want a scotch egg, bangers and mash or a pie, the extensive menu at this new pub on Kuznetsky Most is unlikely to disappoint. While not everything is perfect — the lager came in an ale glass and the Guinness pie seemed to lack Guinness ?€” there is a good atmosphere, traditional pub interior and the staff are friendly.

Svadba Soyek

Svadba Soyek

Georgian food in the park

Located in an oriental kiosk not far from the VDNKh's "city farm," Svadba Soyek (Jay Bird Wedding) is named after a Georgian folktale and serves traditional Georgian fare in a cozy dining hall. The khinkali are addictive and come in three varieties ?€” pork and beef, suluguni cheese, and lamb. The pkhali beans (230 rubles) and satsivi chicken (290 rubles) are also superb.

Tyotya Motya

Tyotya Motya

Riverside views

Tyotya Motya is the latest dining spot to open in Gorky Park. The cafe boasts several seating areas, but the best spot is undoubtedly on the upper terrace overlooking the Moscow river. Floral fabrics, outdoor heating and fairy lights are set to make it a go-to of the summer season. The extensive drinks list and relaxing ambiance compensate for the unremarkable food.

Surf Coffee

Surf Coffee

Achingly cool coffee

This new coffee shop on Myasnitskaya offers a refreshing alternative to the hoards of generic chains dotted throughout the center. Their coffee is sourced from the surfing paradise of Central America (70 percent Costa Rican beans, 30 percent Guatemalan), while the interior looks like a fancy beach shack. Grab an iced coffee or a "Morning in Tahiti" smoothie, sink into a retro chair and channel your inner beach babe.
