Steak lovers know this

If you’re in Moscow and craving steak, skip the tourist-heavy spots around Red Square and head to neighborhoods like Arbat or Patriarch Ponds. That’s where you’ll find places mixing local beef with international style. For example, Goodman is consistently praised for its dry-aged ribeye and cozy atmosphere , just remember to book ahead on weekends. Also, Moscow’s winter weather means these steakhouses are great escapes to warm up with something hearty.

When ordering, don’t be shy to ask how the beef is sourced; Russian farms actually produce some really solid meat these days. And for side dishes, try to get something traditional but simple, like julienne mushrooms or roasted potatoes – they complement the steak without stealing the show.
