Taras Bulba

«Taras Bulba» on Mokhovaya greets guests with an interior styled after a Ukrainian farmhouse: whitewashed walls, decorative little windows, sunflowers and details evoking free Cossack life create the establishment's recognizable look. The kitchen relies on simple, homestyle ingredients — the very "from your own garden" approach that distinguishes Ukrainian culinary tradition. The restaurant is located in the very center of Moscow, within walking distance of several metro stations at once — Biblioteka imeni Lenina, Arbatskaya, Aleksandrovsky Sad and Borovitskaya. The average check here stays around 1,000 rubles, making the place a convenient option for lunch or dinner without excessive expense. This is one of nearly twenty restaurants in the chain bearing this name operating in Moscow. That said, the chain itself is not connected to the Saint Petersburg establishment with a similar name — but it does have branches in Kyiv and even in New York.
