Cafe Pushkin is one of Moscow's legends. Many people believe that it has always been there, but it was opened in 1999, in a Baroque Manson. The restaurant has a beautiful history, which started from the inspiration of Gilbert Becaud's song "Natalie," where he sings about Cafe Pushkin. After this song, many people were looking for Cafe Pushkin, but it hasn't existed yet! Later it was established by Andrei Dellos and described, 'Cafe Pushkin is a place our grandchildren will visit.' The location of Tverskoy Boulevard was chosen on purpose because the street played a significant role in the life of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The boulevard was a favorite place among Moscow high society, including Pushkin.

Andrei Makhov is a magician, he is the Resident Head Chef of the cafe since opening. He was also one of the leading creators of the menu, which presents dishes from Pushkin's times, both Russian and French and adapted to modern times.

The Cafe Pushkin has four different halls where you are welcome to enjoy beautiful meals: pharmacy hall, fireplace hall, the library & the mezzanine, and the summer terrace.

Signature: Time traveling to 19th century Russia. Providing a vast number of meal choices, you can choose traditional Russian food from cold appetizers to home-made snacks, an enormous number of meats, seafood dishes, desserts, and mini pies.
