Moscow - Dining
It is an adventure to go out and eat in Moscow. It is teeming with extravagant theme restaurants where you are transported through both time and space, suddenly you find yourself in Thailand, on a farm or in the last century. If you want to eat well for little you can go to some of the city’s many Georgian and Armenian restaurants. There are also chains such as Moo-Moo and Yolki-Palki where you can serve yourself inexpensive, simple Russian fare. For the restaurants listed below you must always book in advance:
