Metropol
Even if you do not live in this famous historic hotel, you have a chance to have breakfast in Metropol main hall, under its stained-glass dome. At the buffet line, you can find traditional Russian treats such as blini (thin pancakes) with red caviar or salted salmon as well as several egg dishes, seasonal fruits and a variety of dairy products.

The best place to have breakfast with a view of the Kremlin. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the legendary Hotel Naсional. It is known as a modern Russian cuisine restaurant. Dr. Zhivago breakfast menu is not less diverse than the main one. You can find there more than 20 egg dishes, all imaginable types of porridge and pancakes with a variety of fillings! For the bravest eaters, we recommend trying a hot sandwich with oxtails.
Buloshnaya

Closed during the soviet period, the restaurant was reopened more than 100 years later.

For breakfast, you can find both traditional Russian treats (pancakes, porridge) and international classics English breakfast, eggs Benedict).
