Everyone eats out in Moscow and the best thing is that most of the places are opened 24 hours. Meaning you can come to a Ukrainian restaurant at 5 am and still have a full 3-course meal if that's what you wish. Some recommended places are Mayak, Kvartira 44, Solyanka Club – these are less known to tourists , but super quality places, which are frequented by the locals who love good food and conversation . Then on the other opposite you've got cantine places serving quality traditional fast meals, such as Mu-Mu or Elki Palki chains, where you meet ordinary Russians. If you're after something in between, we'd recommend FAQ cafe, PR OGI (food+drink+great bookstores) and other smaller restaurants in the sections below. Generally, expect to pay at least $30 for a quality meal, but places like FAQ or Mu-Mu will get your hunger away for $10 as well.
