» Moscow restaurant guide

There are restaurants in Moscow serving dishes from the furthest corners of the former Soviet Union, offering some surprising tastes that are well outside the experience of most travellers from outside the region. Noev Kovcheg (Noah’s ark) specialises in authentic Armenian cooking, served in a rustic dining room with plush red divans. Try the basturma, a spicy smoked beef dish, or the bean stew in a casserole dish made from black bread.
