Café Pushkin
Кафе Пушкинъ
A famous Moscow establishment on Tverskoy Boulevard, opened in 1999, serving classic Russian cuisine in a 19th-century manor-style setting.
Opened in 1999, this restaurant recreates a 19th-century noble mansion, featuring the Library, Fireplace, and Pharmacy halls, as well as a summer terrace. It is one of the most frequently mentioned Russian restaurants by tourists. Signatures include blini with caviar, beef borscht, pelmeni dumplings, and roast duck with apples. There is an attached pastry shop where you can order just coffee and cake. Reviews are mixed: some consider it one of the best Russian dining experiences in town, while others feel it is overpriced and that you are mainly paying for the atmosphere and service. Lunch is about RUB 2,500–3,500, and dinner à la carte is about RUB 4,500–6,000. Booking a few days in advance is recommended. Selected for the Lemon Guide in 2026. Near Pushkinskaya metro station.
