Pushkin, located in the heart of Moscow, is a fine dining establishment that offers traditional Russian cuisine in a unique and historical setting. The interior design transports diners back to Imperial Russia with its library and pharmacy-themed rooms. The menu features classic Russian dishes such as Stroganoff, Caviar and Blinis, and Gout salad, as well as modern interpretations of traditional cuisine. The prices are on the higher end, but the experience is worth it.
In addition to the delicious food, Pushkin also offers live music, adding to the already charming ambiance. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing impeccable service. The drink menu includes a variety of cocktails, soft drinks, and wines, such as the Sauternes and Russian vodka.
While there is no parking available, the restaurant is conveniently located near the metro and taxi services. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, as the restaurant is often crowded.
Overall, Pushkin is a must-visit eatery for anyone looking to experience traditional Russian cuisine in a unique and historical setting.
The atmosphere is extraordinary, very low light allowing you to feel sheltered in this cocoon of traditional baroque and splendid decor. The staff is very pleasant. Menu for me, Borscht very good, small quantity perfect for a starter then beef stroganoff not overwhelming but still pleasant. Finally, if you want to feel like you were in Russia at a time when in certain places we did things much better than today, then you have to stop by this restaurant, I love it. Last thing, the changing room in the basement is in vaulted cellars with ultra friendly and welcoming people in outfits, it's superb.

We went to have dinner at one of the best establishments in Moscow, popular rumor led us, so to speak. A dimly lit room on the ground floor, the Pharmacy is probably not cozy, it’s kind of bare, or something, I don’t understand - the shabby interior is a design element for a manor, supposedly preserved from the beginning of the 19th century, or it’s just time to somehow refresh the interior space, and wash the windows, because they are dirty. The cuisine is ordinary Russian, in my opinion, without any special features, tasty, beautifully presented, good portions, but generally no delight, I would say, high-quality homemade execution. I can’t cook much worse at home, to be honest. But I would return to the sweet table again, bravo to the pastry chef, Pavlova and the dessert of Cafe Pushkin saved the reputation of the establishment in my eyes)) complete disappointment - the cocktails. Aperol and Mahito classic are the most tasteless here (these are my favorites, there is something to compare with). My personal result: overpraised and expensive, the price corresponds to the location, but not to the level of service, cuisine and atmosphere. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
