The Best Oyster Bars and Restaurants in Moscow

Located in the heart of Moscow, this seafood bar and restaurant is the perfect spot to relax after the working week, with a glass of French champagne in one hand and an oyster in the other. With oysters delivered daily to the venue, there’s always something new on offer to try. In case you’re dining with non-oyster-eating friends, they can choose another fish course from the extensive menu. A good option for those who are really into seafood and fish, you won’t find any steaks here. Expensive but worth visiting.

Beer & Brut gastropub, nestled in a two-storey old mansion at Pokrovka Street, effortlessly matches two of the world’s most famous bubbly drinks: craft beer and sparkling wine. The menu features pan-Asian accents, and hints of spiciness touch every section of the menu—from starters to desserts—and make a perfect match for bubbly drinks. This gastropub focuses on craft and original beers, chosen based on taste quality and how well they pair with seafood.

Take an evening trip to R Bazar, Moscow’s largest fish restaurant and longest oyster bar, located in the city center, making it even more accessible. If you haven’t been here yet, now is the right time to do so—not only do they have a great selection of oyster plates, they also have a vast selection of tasty wines and cocktails on offer. Oysters are usually served with lemon and Tabasco sauce, however sometimes you will notice some fusion with typical Russian cuisine, which makes everything even more mouthwatering. If that’s not a great service in Moscow, then we don’t know what is!
