Jawsspot
Craft beer from the Urals
Jawsspot is not just another craft beer place — it’s a bar that belongs to Jaws, one of the most popular brewers from Russia’s Sverdlovsk region. Original brews with witty names like Nuclear Laundry IPA (240 rubles) and about a dozen others are all on tap. There’s also great bar food — try focaccia with anchovies and capers (200 rubles) or a vegetarian pizza (350 rubles) — and a balcony with a view of the FSB headquarters.
Cheese Connection
Russian-made burrata
The newest addition to Belaya Square is Cheese Connection, focusing on Russian-made cheeses, which became one of the hottest trends after Russia imposed food sanctions. Try a new take on cheese soup with a bite-size hamburger (480 rubles) or the Swiss dish raclette with baked potatoes and prosciutto. Finish off your meal with a glass of wine (from 280 rubles) and a cheese dessert, such as burrata with figs (380 rubles).
Didi
Innovative Georgian cuisine
From the owners of Patari cafe on Patriarch’s Ponds comes this more traditional Georgian eatery located near Tverskoi Bulvar. Unlike Patari, Didi offers khinkali, Georgian dumplings beloved by Muscovites (70 rubles a piece), as well as more innovative fare — like leek soup with Georgian matsoni yogurt (390 rubles) or kharcho, a hearty beef dish with tkemali plum sauce (390 rubles).
Latinos
Ceviche with a view
One of Moscow’s leading restaurateurs, Alexander
Rappaport, has relaunched his Latinsky Kvartal
(Latin Quarter) restaurant as Latinos. . Officially
called “cevicheria,” Latinos offers other types
of raw fish dishes, including tiradito (from 730
rubles), plus more than 20 types of ceviche (from
330 rubles). Cap your meal with a pisco sour cocktail
(460 rubles), sit back, and enjoy the magnificent
view!
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.
