A
Stolle
This is one of Moscow’s coolest places to come for coffee, although you’d be a fool to leave without sampling one of its magnificent pirogi (pies). In fact, the entire menu is excellent, but the pies are irresistible. A ‘stolle’ is a traditional Saxon Christmas cake: the selection of sweets and savouries sits on the counter, fresh from the oven. It may be difficult to decide (mushroom or meat, apricot or apple?) but you really can’t go wrong.

Shesh-Besh
Following the rhyming restaurant trend, Shesh-Besh is a chain offering hearty Azeri fare. The thick soup is easily a meal in itself, as is the extensive salad bar. The place is not overly atmospheric – this being the TGI Friday’s of Azeri cuisine – but the food is still spicy and prices are affordable. There are more rhyming restaurants in Presnya and Zamoskvorechie.

Tiflis
‘Guests are a gift from God.’ So goes the Georgian saying, and Tiflis will make you believe it. The name of this restaurant comes from the Russian word for the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, and when you enter this restaurant you might think you are there. Its airy balconies and interior courtyards recall a 19th-century Georgian mansion – a romantic and atmospheric setting.

Suliko
Often cited as the city’s most authentic Georgian restaurant, this place has fantastic Caucasian dishes, especially the khachapuri (cheesy bread) topped with a fried egg. Of course you can’t eat such food in a plain old dining room. Here, the interior evokes the Caucasian countryside, with grape vines hanging from the ceiling and a huge stone fireplace.

Kavkazskaya Plennitsa
Moscow’s favourite Georgian restaurant is named after a popular Soviet film (and a Pushkin poem). Feast on lavash (flat bread) straight from the oven, cheeses from the restaurant’s own dairy, and shashlyk from seemingly every animal. Come with a group and enjoy the classically cheesy Georgian music and the over-the-mountaintop decor.

Genatsvale on Arbat
Subtle, it is not. Bedecked with fake trees and flowing fountains, it conjures up the Caucasian countryside, leaving little to the imagination. But what better setting to feast on favourites such as khachipuri (cheesy bread) and lamb dishes. If you prefer a more intimate atmosphere, head to the original location in Khamovniki.

Skazka Vostoka
This boat moored on the Moscow River provides the romantic setting for exotic Eastern fare. Tables are laden with fruits, nuts and salads, while mystical sounding music drifts through the air. Skazka Vostoka has a huge menu, specialising in spicy Georgian and Azeri delights.

Karetny Dvor
A classic Azeri place with private rooms, so your party can enjoy its dolmas and lamb kebabs in complete privacy. Otherwise, select a table in the leafy courtyard and imagine yourself in the foothills of the Caucasus.
