The Best Novikov Restaurants In Moscow

What makes a restaurant popular in such a huge city as Moscow? Maybe it offers you a real value for money and an incredible atmosphere. Or maybe it pioneered a trend, and remains the most vital example of it. Or maybe it’s still popular after several decades in operation. Or maybe it’s the fame of the owner. Talking about Novikov restaurants, the answer will always be yes – it’s his fame, a great dining experience, and quality food. And if you’re looking for restaurants that both define and capture Russia’s culinary spirit, stop right here and choose one of these options.
