Lonely Planet review for Café des Artistes

A restaurant and art gallery in one, this gay-friendly, Swiss-owned establishment is an interesting and elegant place to enjoy a meal. The glitzy interior has rich red tapestries, marble walls and a frescoed ceiling. The menu is full of delicious options, but the specialities of the house include cream of spinach soup and fresh oysters. Come for the ‘Hungry Sunday’ special, which offers an excellent, alternating three-course meal for R600.

    This place is closed as of June 2011

    bolonium does not recommend this,

    I was excited to check this place out but when I tried to find it on 10 June 2011 I discovered the storefront was closed up and the only remaining sign of it was the cafe name written on a door. I asked a hostess at a cafe across the street and she confirmed that the place has closed. Too bad--it sounded like a great place!

    Cafe des Artistes

    sulsje recommends this,

    Cafe des Artistes is -to my opinion- one of Moscow's better restaurants. The Swiss/European cuisine is always fresh and very well-prepared. And also important (and not self-evident in Moscow), is that the service is very attentive and professional, but not intrusive.
    Also the location is very good. Located on Kamergersky Pereulok, a pedestrian street that is closed to traffic, and in the very heart of the city (near the Kremlin). In the warm months it's a great place to sit outside on the terrace (and watch people).
    Cafe des Artistes is definitely the nicest restaurant on Kamergersky (and also the most expensive) so it might seem a bit out of place to have such a quality restaurant thrown into an area that tends to be pretty touristy, but it is a very nice alternative and worth wile, if you really enjoy a great meal.
