The festive season is finally upon us and what better way to celebrate than dining out. From a hole-in-the-wall burger joint to a new addition to Sumosan's empire, here's our list of everywhere new and delicious in the city.
U Slavika
The secret is out
U Slavika, once a hole-in-the-wall secret sandwich joint, has become a little more official with a proper dining space on Tverskaya Ulitsa. Think craft beer, a short burger menu (all 350 rubles) and a Facebook page created by a dedicated group of fans. The cracked pepper and salted french fries (150 rubles) are positively addictive.
Corner Cafe & Kitchen
Asian food to suit all tastes
Can’t decide whether you want Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese? Bring a group of friends and order a pile of chicken gyozas, crispy Peking duck and Vietnamese beef pho to kick-start your evening. For a quick, delicious lunch you can’t go wrong with the miso ramen (430 rubles): a hearty bowl of noodle soup, pork, egg, bean sprouts and a touch of seaweed.
45°/60°
A grill by real experts
45°/60° is a new grill restaurant from the owner of the Goodman steak-house chain, just a five minute walk from Prospekt Mira metro station. The name refers to the minimum and maximum temperature when cooking a steak. Steaks are from 650 rubles, with ribeye from 1750 rubles. Alternatively opt for the grilled lamb (680 rubles) with Spanish style baked peppers.
Villa Sumosan
Upmarket Japanese-Israeli cuisine
Villa Sumosan is the newest addition to the Sumosan family, which, aside from the namesake nouveau riche restaurant with branches in Dubai and London, has a liberally priced sushi place called Buba. Villa is not so affordable, with a tiny portion of gyoza dumplings costing 460 rubles and what might possibly be the most expensive shawarma in the city for 990 rubles.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
