Beluga
Alexander Rappoport’s caviar-heavy brasserie





The lavish setting of this must-visit inside the Hotel National is entirely appropriate. With furnishings such as the majestic chandeliers and views out across Moscow’s historic rooftops – including the Kremlin – as the backdrop, Beluga’s dining room is the place to enjoy an unprecedented 24 varieties of caviar. You can sample this delicacy in a tasting menu, or in sandwiches. Aside from caviar, the restaurant is not exactly lacking in its other dishes: try the vinegret salad and Sosva herring or the Kiev cutlet mixed into tantalising ice cream.
