About
Superbly located in downtown Moscow, this double-restaurant is one of the best places to try Russian cuisine. The restaurant became famous among the show business elite after the famous Russian pop stars Alla Pugacheva and Filipp Kirkorov celebrated their engagement here. U Babushki is decorated in traditional Russian style, Babochka in more contemporary European design. The latter is intended more for the business community. The restaurants specialize in Russian as well as French cuisine and offers a great choice of seafood delicacies such as squid salad. For those who don't appreciate such delicacies, there's Tsar's Fish-Soup, roasted sturgeon with potatoes and grilled eggplant. There is also an impressive selection of wines.
