Wine and Crab

Wine and Crab is a restaurant, bar and wine boutique in Barvikha, on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Shosse. Its identity is built around the pairing of seafood, including crab, with a broad wine selection. The venue suits diners looking for a wine-led meal rather than a conventional café or casual bar visit, with the restaurant and wine shop forming part of the same concept.

The interior combines contemporary details with the atmosphere of a wine cellar. The restaurant is set below ground level, and its design brings a modern feel into an older space. This gives the dining room a more intimate, cellar-like character, with wine remaining central to the setting as well as the menu. For diners travelling from Moscow, the Barvikha location offers a destination outside the city centre while keeping the focus on food, wine and relaxed social dining.

The wine programme is one of the venue’s defining features. The collection includes wines from a wide range of regions and styles, with a substantial selection available by the bottle and a choice of wines served by the glass. Champagne has a particularly strong presence, while the wider list is intended to match the flavours of seafood. Sommelier assistance and wine service form part of the restaurant’s offering, making the venue suitable for guests who want guidance with pairings or who prefer to explore the list beyond familiar labels.

Wine and Crab also operates as a wine boutique. Much of the wine presented in the restaurant can be purchased to take away, creating a practical option for diners interested in continuing a particular pairing at home or selecting a bottle as a gift. The boutique format adds a retail dimension without taking attention away from the restaurant.

In warmer weather, the venue extends outdoors with a flower-filled terrace. The seasonal terrace provides a lighter alternative to the cellar-style interior and works for meals or drinks when outdoor seating is available. Indoors, the setting is better suited to an evening centred on seafood, wine and conversation.

Wine and Crab is a natural fit for seafood enthusiasts, wine collectors, couples and small social gatherings. The combination of restaurant, bar, wine service and retail makes it possible to visit for a full meal, a glass-led tasting or bottle selection, depending on the occasion. The Barvikha address, cellar-inspired design and emphasis on wine give the venue a distinct identity within the Moscow region.
