uPirosmani






Besides the Russian kitchen, Georgian is very popular here too. One of the best Georgian restaurants around is probably uPirosmani (www.uPirosmani.ru) close to Sportivnaya metro station and opposite to famous Novodevichiy monastry. The name comes from famous Georgian artist Niko Pirosmnishvili. This may not be the cheapest place but it's certainly worth checking out. You can find photos of their famous guests on the walls: Bill Clinton, Richard Gere, Cindy Crawford etc. Tight political situation between Georgia and Russia can be seen here too – it's impossible to find any Georgian wines from the menu. They can't be imported to Russia at the moment. However we were ever so lucky with the weather. The green terrace in a sunset was just the perfect place to have a dinner tonight. We got some music too...
