The menu features appetizers like Buffalo Cauliflower, tossed with Frank’s Red Hot and crumbled gorgonzola ($13), Aranachi, made of fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, shaved parmigiano reggiano ($13), and Tuna Avocado Tartar, Ahi tuna, avocado, cucumber, scallions, and sweet chili vinaigrette ($18). They have handhelds like their Avenue Burger ($16) and Figenza, which is brie cheese, granny smith apples, prosciutto, and fig jam, on sourdough bread ($16). Entrees include a skirt steak ($32), braised short rib ($27), and seared diver scallops ($35).

The Russian capital is well known for its flamboyant after-dark scene, which runs the gamut from burlesque shows and hipster bars to techno clubs and contemporary theatre venues. Although there are still glitzy clubs offering VIP tables and Cristal magnums, by and large the indulgent tackiness of the post-Soviet Nineties has been forgotten and youâre more likely to find cosy cocktail bars, craft beer spots or pubs and clubs offering international DJs or a soundtrack of jazz, rock, world and hip hop. Be warned that the more upscale the bar, the more likely they will have a door control policy that favours haute couture over street fashion.
