Why Visit Gorynych?
The reasons are concrete. Gorynych cooks with fire on three stoves, including a grill with an adjustable height and angle and a large smoking oven used for meat, fish, seafood and vegetables, according to a guide, and it offers vegetarian options.
The interior borrows from Russian folklore, with rough wood, windows with ornate jambs, murals in the style of Bilibin and an open kitchen with a photo panorama of an enchanted forest. It opens at 08:00 with a breakfast menu, which is early for the center, and sits on Trubnaya Square, a short walk from several metro stations.

Highlights of Gorynych
Cooking over open fire
A guide says the food at Gorynych is cooked over an open fire on three different stoves: a grill with an adjustable height and angle, a Josper oven and a smoker, with a smoking oven of about three tonnes powered by a rotating mechanism. They are used for meat, fish, seafood and vegetables. Sit near the open kitchen to see the fire.
Tip: Ask for a table with a view of the open kitchen.
The fairy-tale interior
The design uses motifs from Russian folklore, according to a guide: rough wood, windows with ornate jambs, murals in the style of the illustrator Bilibin and a huge open kitchen with a photo panorama of an enchanted forest. The restaurant is named after the dragon of Russian fairy tales. Look at the murals while you wait.
Tip: Look for the Bilibin-style murals on the walls.
Breakfast from 08:00
From opening until lunch, Gorynych serves a special breakfast menu with blinis, fritters, baked goods, sandwiches, porridges, eggs and even borscht, according to a guide. It is one of the few places in this part of the center that opens so early. The menu may have changed.

Gorynych cutlets and Neapolitan pizza
A city guide describes a multi-format menu that includes Neapolitan pizza, meat cooked in special ovens, the restaurant's own Gorynych cutlets with lingonberry sauce and a curd ring with poppy seeds. The menu changes, so the dishes may be replaced.

How we research and update our guides
About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
