AMERICAN
STARLITE DINER
Corporate Russia meets vintage America, and the result is a shiny version of an all-night
diner. Sit at the polished chrome counter or sink into a vinyl booth to eat burgers, drink
milkshakes and listen to that old-time rock 'n' roll.
FRENCH
BRASSERIE MOST
R620-2200; 8am-midnight Mon-Fri, 9am-midnight Sat & Sun; Teatralnaya)
Moscow's most venerated and erudite restaurateur Aleksander Rappoport shares his love for
regional French cuisine in this classy and expensive place on Kuznetsky most. The menu is
a grand gastrotour taking in seemingly every major area of France from Bretagne to Alsace.
Authenticity is religion. If they say bouillabaisse, be sure it will taste exactly like Marseille's
best.
AZERI
BARASHKA
noon-midnight; Teatralnaya)
Yes, it's expensive - but it's also a sophisticated setting, done up as an understated Baku
courtyard, adorned with jars of pickled lemons and blooming plants. Barashka offers a menu
full of fresh tasty salads, grilled meats and slow-cooked stews, many of which feature the
little lamb, for which the restaurant is named.
UZBEK
UZBEKISTAN
noon-3am; ; Trubnaya)
This place opened in 1951 by order of the Ministry of Trade of the Uzbek Soviet Republic.
Six decades later, the place has expanded its menu to include Chinese, Arabic and Azeri
food, in addition to the Uzbek standards. Make yourself comfortable on the plush cushions,
order some spicy
plov
(pilaf-like meat and rice) or delicious fried kebabs.
Now brace yourself for a belly-dancing show.
