May, bistro

«May» is a bistro on Nikolaya Stolbova Street, where mornings start with shakshuka, pancakes, and shrimp omelet. The in-house bakery makes croissants, custard-filled donuts, kraffins, and muffins — all of which pair well with a cup of specialty coffee brewed in a pour-over or Aeropress from a bean of your choice. The cuisine here is European, but with respect for those who don't eat meat: vegetarian dishes hold their own place on the menu alongside the desserts. The average check at the bistro is 1,400 rubles, which suits both a quick breakfast before work and a relaxed lunch with wine.
