Wine and dine in a charming bistro
Blink and you'd miss this place. That would be a shame, since its discreet exterior conceals a haven of fresh, seasonal food and an excellent sommelier. A simple but well-considered menu, including grilled fish, steak and salads, accompanies the huge variety of wines available by the glass or bottle — all in a snug interior.

Parka
Craft beer bar with grill and smokehouse
Parka, which must not be confused with its sister Varka, is a new craft bar designed like a Russian bath house. You can sit on one of the stepped benches or at a table. Apart from ubiquitous IPAs and APAs, Parka serves pints of Pryanik (gingerbread) stout or a Black Jack chocolate stout (200-230 rubles). The food is good, too, whether it's a burger with Sichuan sauce (350 rubles), or shrimp that come from Parka's smokehouse (480 rubles).

Piterburger
Eat burgers and burn calories, too
When you enter Piterburger, the first thing you see is a huge portrait of Jules Winnfield from "Pulp Fiction." The burgers are good, with soft freshly baked buns. The "Piterburger" with cheddar and bacon is 310 rubles, while Italyanets (the Italian) with pesto, mozzarella and tomatoes is 300 rubles. You can chase it with draft beer and cider (from 140 rubles) or burn your freshly accumulated calories by playing ping pong and foosball.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
