LureMe occupies the entire, nicely renovated and stylish mansion just across our favorite restaurant Uilliams. LureMe was on our to-try list since it's opening in the spring of 2019. Finally we did it and we were positively surprised.
We ordered pasta vongole, warm eggplant salad, scallops with bok choy, truffle risotto and octopus for lunch. Flavors were just right and the presentation was very attractive. Whatever you order, you must not miss their bread basket, it is absolutely delicious. There are also a lot of tempting dishes like tartars, seafood and fish on the menu which we will definitely try at our next visits. The service was quite knowledgeable and not so stiff as we expected it to be. To be honest, it was empty during the lunch, which is a pity for such nice food and setting. We have however noticed that it is more crowded during evenings, so we are looking forward to try LureMe some evening with a group of friends. The restaurant's second floor looked very stylish but still not too posh for our taste.
On the way home we bought some delicious pirozhki (small Russian pies) with different fillings. At another visit, we had a mega quick lunch at the deli consisting of eggplant salad and roasted turkey which was all very good. The deli is a nice option if you are in a hurry or looking for a good take away option.

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.
