The Golden Apple Boutique Hotel is ideally situated for dining out in Moscow, as well as having a very good in-house restaurant, with eateries to suit all tastes and budgets nearby.
Top-end
Cafe Pushkin (27a Tverskoi Bulvar) has become almost a cliche with tourists for its combination of beautiful historic interiors and reliably well cooked traditional haute cuisine. Gallery (27 Ulitsa Petrovka) has long been one of Moscow's most fashionable restaurants, with a menu of modish international delicacies.
Mid-range
Venezia (4/3 Strastnoy Bulvar) is a cheerful and resoanbly priced Italian cafe with a pretty setting and summer terrace.
Value
ArteFAQ (32 Ulitsa Bolshaya Dmitrovka, Bldg. 1) is a quircky and charming cafe-club with a vibrant atmosphere and reasonably priced cafe food. For inexpensive and filling Central Asian cuisine, try Barbaris (10 2-ya Tverksaya-Yamskaya Ulitsa).
