Pushkin

Magnificent, graceful and truly 19th century Russia. To describe Pushkin you have to know a little bit of history about Peter the Great and his reforms to end country’s isolation and open the “Window to the West”. At the end of 18th century French influence became predominant in the kitchen, fashion and lifestyle among Russian aristocracy. Therefore, Puskin restaurant symbolizes a very special period in Russian history, where Russian traditions were well mixed with Parisian charm and gastronomic approach to cooking.

Nicely and properly decorated “Apteka hall” (Drugstore) and antique “Biblioteka” (Library) with telescopes and globes promotes the aura of Pushkin times. The restaurant provides separate VIP room, “Pogrebok” (Cellar) and “Entresol” with a balcony on the third floor. Elegant and formal atmosphere goes well with harp sounds, candlelight and sophisticated Russian cuisine influenced by French chef. Must try are Russian delicacies such as mini pies with cabbage, lamb and mushrooms; sauerkraut, pickles, Olivier salad and Borsh soup. Other traditional and exquisite dishes are pelmeny (dumplings), Kiev cutlet and fried sturgeon. Among those who love Russian cuisine are foreign delegations, international businessmen and celebrities from around the globe. People consider Pushkin to be one of the few restaurants in Moscow that balances invariability, excellent quality and first class service.
