Café Pushkin offers, arguably, the most exquisite dining in Moscow, upmarket enough to charge outrageously but not so pretentious so as to skimp on the portions. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the food is fantastic whether you're having pancakes for breakfast, delicious sturgeon for dinner or a meaty steak halfway through a night out.

Shinok
There's a strange paradox at work in this swanky, themed restaurant. While waitresses dress as milkmaids, goats and chickens (live ones) occupy cages near the restaurant center and the decorative furniture consist of haystacks, the calibre of service and meals are up to the standards of the upper echelons of society. Indeed, most of the restaurant's clientele dress smartly for dinners here.
