Café Pushkin

Since its beginnings in 1999, the opulent Café Pushkin has been a staple of eating out in Moscow. Set over three floors in a beautifully recreated 19th-century mansion, it radiates the historic decadence of Imperial Russia, with fully liveried waiters, elegant furnishings and antiques. Three themed floors comprise the restaurant; the Pharmacy, the Library and the Fireplace Room, all sumptuously decorated and each offering a different menu. You will be treated to a selection of outstanding Russian and international favourites, including caviar, dumplings and stews fit for a tsar, (although regrettably also priced for a tsar). Open 24 hours a day, the cafe also offers great breakfasts and fantastic views of Tverskoy Boulevard from the Library floor. This spot should always be first choice of those with a taste for the life of royalty.
