Moscow Restaurants

Mmmm! Borscht! Suck up that delicious beet soup! Life in Russia was once ridiculously difficult, but with the flood of Western culture into the country after the wall came down, has life ever changed inside the Iron Curtain! Drink with the Gods at one of the more high brow restaurants in town (And eat like them too) or swing by a Russianized McDonald's for a trip into good old fashioned U.S. capitalism. Moscow has brought in a lot of culinary influence from the countries it once occupied in the USSR, so you can find everything from Kazakh to Georgian. You won't be bored.
Enjoy Georgian cuisine while dining inside a boat. Mama Zoya is housed on a boat in the Moscow River. Interiors are a visual feast. There's so much to look at, from intricate wooden furniture to live musicians to the hearty Georgian clientele that frequent the place. The menu is the size of the Bible, so ask the waitress what to order.
If you want to feel like royalty then have dinner at Café Pushkin. The sophisticated 24-hour 3-storey restaurant has the feel of a 19th-century mansion. Burgers are also popular in Moscow,and the best place to go is Starlite Diner, a silver trailer parked in Moscow square. This all-night diner has become an institution on the dining scene. Burgers are generous and juicy, and fries are crisp. Most of the fare is authentic American, imagine telling your friends you had banana split in Moscow!
