Cafe Pushkin

I visited Cafe Pushkin in Moscow for lunch. This restaurant was recommended by a staff member at Karlson, and it’s a well-known place where you can enjoy Russian cuisine. Both the exterior and interior have a very elegant and prestigious atmosphere, almost like being inside an aristocratic mansion. Upon entering, there is a cloakroom in the basement where you leave your coat, which adds to the sense of luxury. We ordered several dishes, and the pirozhki (one with mushrooms and one stuffed with meat) as well as the beef stroganoff were especially delicious. They had the rich flavors typical of Russian cuisine and were very satisfying. On the other hand, a dumpling-like dish had a strong lamb flavor, which might be a bit too distinctive for some people depending on their taste. Overall, both the food and the atmosphere are of a high standard, and I think it’s a restaurant worth visiting at least once when traveling to Moscow. It’s a great place when you want to enjoy a meal in a slightly special setting.

Definitely need a reservation, however we do not have a reservation they offer us next place. They told me that this place has also same menu. We tried Napoleon cake and Medovik(honey cake). Tastes were okay, nothing special.

I was flu thats why have eaten Borsch soup. It became better to me, as a coctail Russian Mule was pretty good. Place and ambience very very good. But you should certainly have reservation.

As a Thai person,whose cuisine is among the most diverse and fiery in the world—I wasn’t particularly excited by the flavors of the food and drinks at this establishment. That said, I have to admit the place itself is legendary. The service and decor left a strong impression. While the food didn’t thrill me, I must say the desserts, complex and meticulously crafted were genuinely impressive.

Café Pushkin is truly an extraordinary place. Words can’t describe its charm and atmosphere. Every detail from the décor to the food feels timeless and refined. A must-visit in Moscow. ✨

Pushkin is always a must-visit for me whenever I’m in Moscow. The atmosphere combines classic old-style interiors with seamless service, polite staff, and consistently excellent food. My favorite spot is the winter garden by the window, where you can watch the world outside while enjoying a memorable meal.

We’ve been here for breakfast to experience the historical atmosphere of the cafe. The food is not exceptional and service is moderate. Very high priced by the way.

At Café Pushkin I had the Beef Stroganoff and it’s truly the best the absolute best! Don’t bother trying anything else here because their Stroganoff is on another level. We also bought chicken grill but a big nooooo. The ambience is amazing too old style classic Russian charm.I loved every detail of the décor it really makes the experience special.
