The capital of Russia, the land of the Tsars, the expression of modern wealth. Moscow is where East meets West. Extremes of extravagant lifestyles and patriotic nostalgia shape a magic metropolis on the move. This, the most populous of European cities, is a destination to be experienced.

We read a recommendation of the Prime Rib Sunday Menu and I'm glad we visited here. A summer terrace entrance wasn't appealing yet anyway (first we disappointedly thought the place was closed down for good but apparently a summer season hadn't opened ) but do go ahead to the second floor - bravery will pay off big time. Classy and elegant interior, thumbs up for separate smoking and non-smoking spaces, fantastic service - best service in Moscow (accurate, polite, friendly, English speaking staff), Lady's and Gent's Rib Cut Menu (preselected starter, chosen Rib as main course with garnishes and dessert) soooo delicious, good selection of wines, beers and other beverages, even "home made" lemonade was so fresh, not too sour not too sweet for a start drink. If you want to eat raw meat do go earlier in the day, apparently they slowly cook ribs during the day so later the meat is well-done. So worth of every penny!!! Here our expectations were exceeded.
