15 Kitchen + Bar
Michelin-starred chef from NYC
15 Kitchen + Bar’s concept is that it hosts chefs
from all over the world. The latest arrival is Chris
Arellanes, who has worked at three-Michelin star
restaurants in New York City: Per Se and Eleven
Madison Park. Try the excellent burrata with caramelized
carrot and cranberries (700 rubles) or veal
tongue in mayonnaise-based sauce with bits of
wild garlic (500 rubles).
China Bistro
Chinese classics in the Telegraph building
Chinese Bistro replaced the recently closed
“Kitaiskiye Novosti” (Chinese News). The menu
consists of perennial classics like smashed cucumber
salad (220 rubles), Gong Bao chicken (280
rubles), spicy Szechuan beef (350 rubles), and
several types of dim sum (try the one with crabmeat
— 390 rubles). Chase it down with a cold Tsingtao
beer (270 rubles) or pu-erh tea for just 120 rubles
Four Rooms
Wine bar, coffee shop and a restaurant rolled into one
Located on Kamergersky Pereulok, Four Rooms is
divided into three areas: a coffee shop at the entrance, a wine bar in the basement and a restaurant
upstairs. The restaurant has a somewhat innovative
menu. Try the duck confit with quinoa and carrot
sauce (750 rubles) or salmon with potato rösti and
sesame sauce (690 rubles).
Dictatura Aestetica Bar
Secret gin bar on the island
An innocuous door with a chalk drawing of a
martini glass signals the entrance to this watering
hole. With its proliferation of candles,
exposed brick walls and its interesting use of a
bedstead as a sofa, the interior has the feel of a
gothic den of iniquity. If you successfully navigate
the standoffish doorman, the house gimlet
(400 rubles) is a well-deserved reward.
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.
