Happily Fed! My Michelin-Starred Moscow Food Journey 🍽️🇷🇺

Dared to conquer Moscow’s former Michelin-listed restaurants! Warning: These spots are pricey but worth the splurge. Let’s dive in, foodies! 1️⃣ Wine&Crab | 🌟🌟 🦀 Signature: Fresh Russian port seafood. Ordered a small king crab two-ways (steamed + sauced) for 3 people, plus a seafood platter, potato-baked snails, and grapefruit lemonade. 💬 Verdict: Steamed crab > sauced version. Sashimi-grade local seafood – zero fishiness! Service hiccup: Waiters barely spoke English (almost took my drink mid-sip 😂). 💰 Damage: 69,800₽ total (~23,000₽/person). 2️⃣ Tehnikum | 🌟 🍽️ Vibe: Chic bistro with "white people food" – think beef tartare, Korean-inspired beef potato bake, shrimp sandwiches. 💬 Verdict: Decent for Moscow, but overpriced vs. China’s gourmet cafes. Go if nearby, not worth a special trip. 💰 Damage: 7,000₽ total (~3,500₽/person). 3️⃣ Birds | 🌟 🏙️ Location: 84th floor of OKO Tower (Europe’s highest!). Panoramic CBD night views. 🍣 Ordered: Sushi platter, Iberico ham, forgettable mains. 💬 Verdict: View >>> Food. Skip alcohol to halve the bill. 💰 Damage: 27,000₽ total (~13,500₽/person). 4️⃣ Butcher Steakhouse | 🌟🌟 🥩 Moscow’s Old Money Darling: Packed with suited locals. 🔥 Must-Try: French oysters & sea urchin (explosively fresh sweetness!). Dry-aged beef tartare on garlic bread – carnivore nirvana! 45-day dry-aged ribeye. 💬 Verdict: Loved it so much, went twice! 💰 Damage: 14,000₽ total (~7,000₽/person). 5️⃣ White Rabbit | 🌟🌟 🐇 Hype Alert: Book weeks ahead! Spring tasting menu was pretty but forgettable. 💬 Verdict: Instagram bait – ideal for photo-obsessed foodies. No standout dishes for non-fine-dining regulars. 💰 Damage: 71,000₽ total (~14,500₽/person). Final Tips Budget: Moscow’s Michelin-tier meals cost 7,000–23,000₽/person. Language: Google Translate is your BFF – many staff speak minimal English. Book Smart: White Rabbit/Birds need reservations; Butcher accepts walk-ins. #MichelinDining #MoscowLuxuryEats #SeafoodHeaven #SteakLovers #ViewWithAFork
