At a glance
Mollusca на Большой Дмитровке is a seafood restaurant on Ulitsa Bolshaya Dmitrovka in Moscow, with mussels as the central theme. The menu presents mussels in 101 variations, giving the restaurant a clear focus while leaving room for other seafood-led dishes. The setting suits diners looking for a dedicated shellfish meal, as well as those who prefer a broader selection of fish and seafood.
The menu extends beyond mussels to include crab, scallop, fish and seafood pasta, alongside lighter preparations and desserts. This makes the restaurant suitable for a shared meal built around several dishes, or for a more straightforward main course. The food combines familiar European restaurant formats with flavours drawn from different culinary traditions, including Asian-inspired combinations. The result is a menu with variety without moving away from its marine focus.
Drinks are an important part of the restaurant’s identity, with author cocktails complementing the seafood menu. The atmosphere is designed for lingering rather than a quick stop, making Mollusca appropriate for relaxed lunches, evening dinners and social meals. Its location on Bolshaya Dmitrovka also places it in a lively central Moscow dining area, convenient for combining a meal with time spent around the street and nearby city centre.
The restaurant has veranda seating during the relevant season, adding an outdoor option when conditions allow. Indoor dining remains the main setting for the rest of the year. Reservations are available, which can help with organising a planned meal, particularly for groups or for guests hoping to sit outside.
Mollusca на Большой Дмитровке is best suited to seafood enthusiasts, diners interested in exploring different mussel preparations, and groups with varied preferences within a seafood-focused menu. The restaurant’s menu also includes options beyond shellfish, although guests with specific dietary requirements should check individual dishes and ingredients with the restaurant before ordering.
