Bread & Meat
Good food in Moscow City
Bread & Meat is a new café in Moscow City by the Australian chef of Zupperia and Glenuill, Glen Ballis. By "bread and meat" Glen actually means comfort food, and there's plenty of that. Try sweet potato soup with yogurt (220 rubles), baked chicken leg (490 rubles) or a tuna steak burger (590 rubles). Bread & Meat is co-founded by the Ping Pong Club of Moscow, which has installed a few tables right next to the café.

Eklernaya Kler
Eclairs in a fragrant setting
Eklerynaya Kler is a flower shop, trinket shop, eclair shop and coffee shop. This cute little stop on Kurskaya has just three small mosaic-covered coffee tables, a small case of freshly made and beautifully decorated eclairs and a simple coffee menu on a chalkboard. The abundance of flowers make the place smell amazing, and the eclairs are delicious. Order a big box to go or enjoy one, or three, by the window.

Khachapuri
Georgian food with a view
Khachapuri has opened its fifth restaurant on Prospekt Mira. As with the others, this restaurant offers authentic and largely vegetarian Georgian cuisine at reasonable prices. Occupying the second floor of a modern wooden "dacha," it overlooks the old Moscow State University botanical gardens. Their khinkali — spiced Georgian dumplings — and eggplant rolls are a must.

Vinny Bufet
Wine bar beyond the Garden Ring
At Vinny Bufet you can order wine by the bottle or glass (starting from 210 rubles). The food is quite pricey, but all the cheeses are supplied by Russian producers in the Leningrad and Tver regions. While the Reblochon is not as pungent and runny as it should be, the Camembert is pretty good, and the marbled beef chips and tapas are the perfect accompaniment to your tipple.

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.
