The restaurant Café Pushkin is one of the most fascinating locales in Moscow, a place where eating means first of all having an experience, a journey into the past, into history.
In short, it is not only the food that tells the suggestions of a place, but it is the very walls of that place that immerse the visitor in a kind of dream.
Housed in an old aristocratic mansion from the 19th century, the Cafe Pushkin is a romantic, special location that can captivate visitors with its Baroque flavor friezes.
Every corner of this place exudes history, as does every piece of furniture and decoration. But the thing that strikes everyone more than anything else is the bookcases overflowing with books, separating the rooms with evocative elegance.
Globes, pendulum clocks, astronomical instruments triumph speaking of distant and glorious eras, fantastic adventures and extraordinary legends.
The history of the restaurant Cafe Pushkin
Located along the Tverskoy Boulevard, the Pushkin Cafe has only recently been opened. The history that surrounds it and fascinates visitors is more about its interior.
Its birth brings back the imagination of the famous French songwriter Gilbert Bécaud, who mentions this place in the verses of the very popular 1964 song titled "Nathalie".
Then in June 1999, the artist and restorer Andrei Dellos decided to make the romantic dream sung in Nathalie a reality and opened Café Pushkin.
Its name, in addition to Bècaud's song, refers to the Aleksandr Pushkin, the 19th-century Russian poet after whom the venue is named.
