Bosco Cafe

This elegant cafe can be found on the ground floor of the GUM shopping centre on Red Square, and makes a great place to relax after a hard day's shopping or sight seeing. Orderly rows of square tables, high-ceilings and whiter-than-white tablecloths, lend the Bosco a distinct old-world air, and you could almost imagine the Russian gentry of yesteryear ordering their tea from samovars here, whilst slagging off the dastardly Napolean. You might fancy taking a pop at Bush instead, but whatever the topic of conversation, with Bosco's outdoor seating and huge arched windows, you are guaranteed a great view over the Square.

A friend and I visisted Moscow for 8 days in December of '05 and ate @ Bosco Cafe 5 times! We loved the atmosphere, the presentation of the food, and the waitstaff provided us with nothing but exemplary service! Hands down, our favorite dish was the lobster lasagna with white truffle oil. This is what we had on our last night in Moscow. Kudos to the chef, as we were more than delighted by each course, and to the waitstaff....we wish you were here in the "States"!
