Lonely Planet review for Turandot
If you wanted to go to Disney World, but somehow ended up in Moscow, Turandot should be at the top of your dining wish list. Completely costumed in wigs and gowns, musicians play chamber music and servers scuttle to and fro. The decor is unbelievably extravagant, with hand-painted furniture, gilded light fixtures and frescoed cupola ceiling. It is certainly every bit as elaborate as Cinderella’s castle. Turandot is named for a Puccini opera set in old Peking, which is as good a reason as any to serve Chinese and Japanese food in this baroque interior.

The best gourmet experience....
marika2 recommends this,
Next door to the famous "Cafe Pushkin" is not quite noticeable door. This door is going to get you into the French fairy tale. Turandot, no doubt, is divine place - not just a regular restaurant. A beautiful palace, which interiors resemble the famous Versailles. You will be met there by waiters in old-fashioned jackets and offered to taste the best dishes of Azian and European cuisine. They will call you only as sir or madam. You will also see orchestra what plays divine music on the harp. All this will be clearly one of the most memorable moments in your life.
