Restaurant Name: Coffee Bean

The coffee house craze is spreading thorugh Moscow and Russia! There are tons of little western style coffee shops opening up around the city with great, if not expensive, coffee. You can get Espresso, Capucinno, and even American style coffee at most of them, as well as lots of great tasty bakery!

Restaurant Name: Uzbekistan

This is probably one of the most expensive resteraunts in Moscow, but if you have a few extra dollars in your pocket the food and atmosphere are worth it. The interior is somewwaht typical of what you would see in Uzbekistan (outside of Tashkent anyway) and there are even belly dancing shows! The food is all pretty much typical of what you would sample in it's Central Asian namesake, although for the price you pay, you cuold probably buy your own resteraunt in Bukhara.

Favorite Dish: I had the plough and it was fantastic! Plough is an Uzbek version of rice pilaf but with alot more fat in it. I would turn into a ballon if Iate it every day (When I was in Tashkent visiting my wifes family I did gain several pounds eating her fathers plough) but on an occasional basis...yum

Restaurant Name: Genatsvale or Genatsvale VIP

This is one of my favorite Moscow Resteraunts. I first discovered it when member Lalique suggested it for the first Moscow VT meeting (see her page for some pics), but have come back many times since. My favorite here is the Katchupori, a cheese bread, and the Baklazhan, eggplan (apergian) stuffed with a spicy nut paste, yummy. I even once tried an interesting lamb testicle dish here (not on purpose, read the menu wrong) but it was very good! To top it all off there is always some good traditional entertainment including a group of men that travel from table to table playing traditional Georgian instruments and serenading with traditional Georgian songs, dancers taht demonstrate some of the local dances and usually a live lounge band.
