Avocado
Less atmospheric than Jagannath, Avocado has a more diverse menu, drawing on dishes from the world's cuisines. Meatless versions of soups and salads, pasta and pelmeni are all featured. Grab a seat near the window to watch the passers-by on the boulevard, because the place is otherwise rather austere.

Gallery
An ultra hip place to see and be seen. Besides the cool music and hot clientele, this elegant cafe offers an eclectic menu, from the classic chicken cutlet to more sophisticated items like Chilean sea bass and leg of lamb. Service is surprisingly friendly - sometimes an anomaly at the capital's hotspots.

Garden
This appropriately named cafe is set in the midst of flowering trees in the courtyard opposite the Tretyakov, drawing a bohemian, artsy crowd. Wide plank wood floors and antique furniture contrast with the modern, jazzy music and contemporary cuisine.
-
Maki Cafe
With a menu ranging from its namesake maki rolls to fresh green salads to Italian sodas, the theme at the Maki Cafe diverse. It is complemented by its minimalist, industrial decor - clunky light fixtures, lots of brick and metal. The place appeals to a hip, urban crowd, who appreciate the unusually reasonable prices. Service is efficient but you still may have to wait for a table in the evening.

Modest Charms Of The Bourgeoisie
The main draw of `Bourgeoisie' is the cool, casual setting. It's an attractive space, with its arched ceiling, tile floor and sun motif - ideal for settling into the comfy couches and reading the newspapers that are left lying about. The menu is reasonably priced and wide-ranging, from pizza to sushi to nice fresh salads, but don't expect gourmet fare.

Simple Pleasures
The chef is American, but the menu is wide-ranging, including dishes from Italy, Spain and the American South. The common denominators are fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques, an ideal match for this comfortable, uncluttered space.

Tent
Step into this tent-like structure, and step inside a Bedouin camp, right here on the shores of Chistye Prudy. Lounge on comfy cushions and feast on grilled meats, a la 1001 Nights . This place is surprisingly democratic (in terms of prices and face control), but still manages to retain its super cool status. Open in season, approximately May to September.

The Real McCoy
The main features of this `bootlegger's bar' are walls plastered in old newspapers and a dining room crowded with ex-pats. The menu is not too memorable, except it includes BBQ ribs to seafood curry and everything in between. Nonetheless, this is a popular spot for drinking, especially the two-for-one happy hour specials ( - daily).
