One of the first and most important venues on

Steak at the pond
Butcher, as the name suggests, is a meat shop
in the Patriarch’s Ponds neighborhood. Run
by Italian chef Grecu Carlo, it offers all kinds of

grams), as well as pastrami (from 230 rubles per
100 grams) and some exclusive cheeses. You
can point to whatever piece you like and have
it cooked on the spot for an extra 30 percent.
There are just a few tables inside, so come early.

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.
