Rybtorg

«Rybtorg» on Trekhprudny Lane greets guests with a counter of fish and langoustines on ice. Next to it are tanks with live oysters and mussels, so the seafood selection is visible right from the entrance. Further in, a steep staircase leads down to a hall with a communal table and an open kitchen, where the cooks work in full view of the guests. There's no frying here — the neighbors in the building object to the smells and smoke, so the menu is built around raw or boiled dishes. This approach gives the whole kitchen a fish-forward focus: seafood is served in its natural form, keeping its taste and texture. The cuisine is European with an emphasis on fish, and the average check runs 1,000–3,000 ₽. Besides food, «Rybtorg» also sells related items: knives, baking paper, rubber boots, and raincoats. The place is located near the Mayakovskaya, Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya, and Chekhovskaya metro stations, making it easy to reach from various parts of central Moscow.
