Cinematograph
Karaoke gets classy
Cinematograph is a new karaoke bar and restaurant
at the trendy Tryokhgornaya Manufaktura, a
former industrial space that is gradually turning
into a new center of cultural and social life. The
menu has been developed by Alexei Belikov (chef
at Yuliya Vysotskaya’s Food Embassy). Try beef
tartare for 790 rubles ($13.40), stewed pork ribs
(750 rubles) or grilled Moroccan octopus (1,400
rubles).
Beriozka
Russian without a twist
Located at the entrance to Aptekarsky Ogorod
(the Botanical Garden) Beriozka specializes
in familiar Russian fare, but unlike the premium
“new Russian cuisine” restaurants, the menu is
straightforward and affordable. Russian salad
with roast beef, potatoes and pickles is 280 rubles
($4.70) for a small serving, or try smoked venison
dumplings (from 285 rubles). Homemade vodka
infusions come in flavors like sage or cloudberry.
Cofix at Arma
Israeli cafe opens 4th branch
The food scene at the former Arma factory,
conveniently located right next to hip Vinzavod and
Artplay, is growing more varied by the day. The latest
addition is a new branch of the extremely successful
Israeli chain Cofix. The chain already has four
locations in Moscow where everything goes for just
50 rubles ($0.85), be it an Olivier salad or a chocolate
cheesecake, a double espresso or a banana-flavored
cappuccino, freshly squeezed carrot juice or a
cinnamon roll.
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.
