Gorynych Restaurant: Fine Dining in Moscow

Gorynych restaurant is currently considered to be one of the best restaurants in Moscow and it should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Moscow. It serves Russian-inspired cuisine in a very pleasant, stylish and yet relaxed setting, so it's a perfect spot for a dinner out with friends, a date, or a business meeting. 

During the summer Gorynych has a nice terrace opened outside facing the boulevard, providing a pleasant view on the city life. The sitting area and the bar inside is also very well designed, with the open kitchen and several spaces craftfully separated, so that you feel intimate even though the restaurant is quite big. 

Regarding the food, we can recommend every position on the menu. Try their borscht — it's very good, as well as marble beef starters, meat dishes, and — most importantly — home-made bread (it's amazing). The prices are moderate (for Moscow), you can have a dinner for two for about €60 with wine.

If you go there in the evening, it's better to book your table at least a day before, as availability is really sparse. During the day, especially in summer, it's better. The only drawback of the restaurant is that there are only 3 toilets, but there's another restaurant at the ground floor, so you can take the elevator there and voila.
