I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Grand Cafe Dr. Zhivago! The atmosphere was elegant and sophisticated, the service was impeccable, and the food was simply divine. I started with the Moscow-style borscht, which was hearty and flavorful, with just the right amount of tanginess from the beets and a rich beef broth. For my main course, I had the pelee stuffed with carp, a traditional Russian dish that was both savory and satisfying. The pelee was cooked to perfection, with a flaky crust and a moist, flavorful filling. The carp was also cooked perfectly, with a delicate flavor that complemented the pelee. And for dessert, I couldn't resist trying the black caviar, a luxurious and decadent treat that is often served as an appetizer. The caviar was perfectly salty and briny, and it melted in my mouth. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, and he made sure to recommend the perfect dishes for our taste. He also helped us pair our meal with a delicious Russian wine. Overall, I had an unforgettable dining experience at Grand Cafe Dr. Zhivago. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly special occasion

I thought this restaurant had sth to do with the old "Dr. Shiwago"-film and that's the reason for the many people on weekdays morning 9 am... But a later view to website showed that it's only a normal restaurant with nice design and interieur and serviceladys in maid-dresses. The breakfast (Egg Benedict with salmon) was very good but it was made with a very (!) crunchy bun instead a bread, that was bit sad. If Service had asked I had told her but she wasn't interested. Service in general seemed little bit condescending... first sentence was that time limit for table is 1 hour (don't know if it's another with reservation). Probably that depends on some of those guests without any manners like they were sitting next to us... However: That was the first restaurant with wardrobeservice where the garderobier didn't helped me into the jacked. That was disappointing for that chicki-micki ambiente and behaviour.

Dr. Zhivago, a new restaurant in the heart of Moscow, just a block from the Kremlin, bears the name of the legendary novel, the romantic love story of the Russian writer Boris Pasternak and represented by the cinema pharaoh Omar Sharif ⠀ •Russian cuisine is presented in a modern and elegant way with a purely Russian concept.⠀ ⠀ •The restaurant is a snow-white hall decorated with paintings by the most prominent Soviet artists such as Malevich and Petrov-Vodkin, and the legendary Ruby Star. ⠀ •The restaurant owner took the concept of traditional restaurants and developed it amazingly, where art pieces were used in a modern design, with a strong Soviet touch represented by the color red. ⠀ ⠀ •For me there is no other place where you can have a better Russian cultural experience than sitting by a window with a great view of the Kremlin, eating Russian food ⠀

Loved this restaurant! The food was amazing!! They had very traditional dishes with the best quality. Their dumplings are fantastic! Recommendations to try the duck dumplings and the dessert dumplings. We ordered a little bit of everything,... and everything was fantastic. Yummy!!! The restaurant is beautifully decorated in white with splashes of red. I'm giving them 4 stars due to service. They only had a few waitress that spoke English. All the waitresses were dressed in white with bright red lipstick. They were all so beautiful. Our waitress was not very friendly or helpful, she was very short with us. I get the impression it might be their behavior and maybe slightly more towards tourist. We had a wonderful afternoon here! Must try!

Definitely visit this place if you love Russian cuisine. The dishes were delicious. We’ve tried the small Russian pies “Pirozhki na zubok”, a salad with crab meat, Ukrainian dumplings “Varyeniki” and different deserts. Medovik tasted the best in comparison to others in my opinion, but all of the deserts were lovely. We also ordered white wine with all of it and it our lunch turned out to be perfect. The location of the place is great because right from here you can the Red Square and if you book a proper table you will be able to take amazing pictures too. Also this place is famous because many Russian celebrities visit it, so if you’re like you might bump into one. Definitely recommend to visit lovely place ❤️

we made a reservation 20 days prior to our visit. Yet, when we came the lady with red lead us to an insider table while we requested a view table, i refused and asked for another table she got grumpy and in impolitely way she said you’re gonna wait 40 minutes. And then she ignored us and went away quickly without even informing us where to wait. Nobody speaks English, receptionists ladies aren’t friendly and so racist with foreigners. Eventually we waited only 15 minutes, which was ok, but the problem was with waiter’s attitude which doesn’t match a restaurant with a Michelin stars. Will not come back again due to receptionist low class behavior. The stars only because they’ve the best blueberry cake ever.
