Another week, another round of new openings, bars to check out and menus to drool over. Whether you're looking to enjoy fine wine by the glass, indulge your sweet tooth with a quality eclair or hit the dance floor this weekend, here's everywhere new and delicious in the city.
H2
Hudson reborn
Expats of Moscow wept when The Hudson Bar shut up shop over a year ago. Fans will be pleased to know that H2, its new incarnation, features the same familiar bar staff, dark wood interior and hearty pub grub, albeit in a new location on Lesnaya Ulitsa. Grab a quesadilla (450 rubles) or the eponymous Hudson pizza (600 rubles) before hitting the makeshift dance floor.

Eklernaya Kler
Sweet treats on the Garden Ring
This tiny bakery shares its shop space with a florist. As you might have guessed, eclairs in familiar flavors — such as chocolate, vanilla or caramel — as well as less orthodox fillings like tarragon or pear and chestnut (170 rubles each) are the speciality here. You can also enjoy expertly made espresso-based drinks served in crystal glasses from 150 rubles.

Grand Cru
Wine taken seriously
This “wine library” offers 1,200 vintages available by the glass, but don‘t look for a wine list. Ask the waitstaff or choose from the bottle-lined walls. It‘s best frequented in the evening — the velvet decor looks best in candlelight. Start with the salad with goat cheese (1,150 rubles) off the new Grand Gourmet menu, then try the grill menu — the dorado (1,100 rubles) is so fresh it stares at you.

Rebro Adama
Farm fresh meat from Russia’s south
Rebro Adama (Adam’s Rib) is a great place for trying various types of meat on the cheap. Located at the trendy Danilovsky Market, Rebro Adama is a new project by butcher and restaurateur Tahir Kholikberdiyev, responsible for Kuban Meat and Yuzhane. Try the slow-cooked beef ribs in prune sauce (390 rubles) or the freshly made beef tartar (300 rubles).

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.
