Brasserie Lambic

Brasserie Lambic is a beer restaurant on Gogolevsky Boulevard, positioned between the Arbat and Kropotkinskaya areas of Moscow. Its format combines a European and Belgian menu with the relaxed feel of a brasserie, making it suitable for casual meals, drinks and longer gatherings. The restaurant has spacious dining rooms and a summer veranda, giving diners a choice between an indoor setting and seasonal outdoor seating.

A defining feature of the kitchen is poultry cooked over an open flame. Chicken, turkey and duck are prepared with house marinades before being grilled, while beef is also used in the menu. Grilled ingredients may be served on their own or incorporated into burgers, salads and soups. The open-fire grill is a custom-built feature of the restaurant and forms part of the visible character of the space.

The menu covers a broad selection of European and Belgian cooking. Its sections include salads, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, snacks and desserts, with live mussels and chilled prawns among the seafood offerings. Belgian waffles provide a sweet option, while the restaurant also prepares American-style homemade desserts. The kitchen makes several elements in-house, including bread, kvass, sauces and marinades. Freshly baked bread is also used for the restaurant’s bread basket.

Drinks are central to the Brasserie Lambic experience, with beer at the centre of the concept and a wine list that covers producers and regions from Georgia, the United States, Russia and elsewhere. The venue also runs tastings, match broadcasts and seasonal food and drink events, creating a setting that can work for both a quiet meal and a social visit. A weekday business lunch is available as part of the restaurant’s daytime offering, and the menu changes regularly for that service.

Brasserie Lambic suits diners looking for grilled poultry, Belgian and European comfort food, beer-focused dining or a spacious place for a group meal. Its location near two central metro stations also makes it practical for meeting friends, combining a restaurant visit with a walk around the nearby central districts, or stopping for food during a day in the city.
