Why Visit Oblomov?

If you want traditional Russian food in a setting that feels like a recreated old country house—rather than a bright, modern dining room—Oblomov is built for that. It’s also a convenient evening stop in Zamoskvorechye near the Paveletskaya area.

Highlights of Oblomov

The country-house interior

Oblomov is styled like a Russian country house, set in a former merchant’s building in Zamoskvorechye, with multiple dining rooms. The overall look is more “old Moscow interiors” than a modern restaurant fit-out.

Tip: If you book, ask what dining rooms are available for your seating—different rooms can feel noticeably different.

Classic Russian menu

The menu is built around classic Russian comfort food, with starters such as blini and herring-style dishes, plus borscht and other soups.

Tip: For a first visit, order one starter that’s “cold” (like a herring dish) and one that’s “hot” (like soup) so you get the full range of textures.

Hearty mains and seasonal options

Hearty traditional main dishes appear on the menu, including dumplings (pelmeni) and various meat options when available.

Tip: If you want a specific “game” dish, ask what’s currently on the menu that day.

Good evening atmosphere in Zamoskvorechye

The restaurant is a good match for an evening meal away from the busiest central streets, thanks to its Zamoskvorechye location by the inner loop of sights and river-side walks.

Tip: Pair the dinner with a short stroll in Zamoskvorechye before or after—this place is easier to enjoy when you’re not rushed.

What to Order

Blini with caviar, among the starters.
Herring under a fur coat, the layered herring and beetroot salad
Pelmeni, the filled dumplings
Borscht, served in a small pot village-style.
White mushroom soup.
Game dishes such as wild boar, when available, or lamb chops, which are popular.

Atmosphere

Oblomov leans into the feel of an older Moscow merchant-house: warm light, multiple rooms for dining, and a setting designed to slow the pace. It’s built more for a relaxed, sit-down dinner than for quick meals.

History of Oblomov

Oblomov takes its name from the hero of Ivan Goncharov’s novel Oblomov (published in 1859). The restaurant’s concept is to turn that “country villa” dream into an everyday dining experience in a former merchant’s house in Zamoskvorechye.

Some sources also describe the restaurant as operating since 2000, but the deeper building history is not consistently documented in the available materials.

Reservations and Ordering at Oblomov

Reservations are accepted. For dinner, booking is the most reliable way to secure a table.

For the most accurate details (current hours, menu language, and any special policies), rely on the restaurant’s official website.

How to Get to Oblomov

Oblomov is at 1st Monetchikovsky Lane 5, building 1, in Zamoskvorechye. The nearest metro options are Paveletskaya (about 510 m; roughly a 7 to 8 minute walk) and Serpukhovskaya (about 650 m; roughly a 9 minute walk by typical routing).

Metro: Use Paveletskaya for the shortest walk, then follow the lanes in Zamoskvorechye to 1st Monetchikovsky Lane.
Taxi: Set the destination to “1st Monetchikovsky Lane 5, building 1” and confirm the exact building number on the pin before you leave.

Accessibility

No accessibility details were verified. Because it’s in a former merchant’s house with multiple rooms, it’s worth asking the restaurant in advance about steps at the entrance and the easiest route to your table.

Food Nearby

In Zamoskvorechye, there are many other cafes and restaurants for before/after meals. Around Paveletsky station, there are more quick options if you prefer something casual.

What to Bring

Bring cash (in RUB) as a backup, and use the official website or your reservation confirmation to double-check payment options and menu language if you’re visiting without Russian.

Photography Rules

No photography rules were found in the available materials. The restaurant is an interior-based experience (portraits, traditional styling, dining rooms), so it’s best to ask the staff before photographing rooms or other guests, and avoid flash.

Family Suitability

The menu includes familiar traditional dishes like pelmeni and soups. Specific information about children’s policy, high chairs, and stroller access wasn’t verified—confirm these details when you book.

Moscow Vibes Tips

Come hungry: Russian classics here tend to be filling, so one starter plus soup can be enough before your main.
If you’re aiming for a specific dish (especially any “game” item), ask what’s currently on the menu that day.
If you want the most comfortable experience for photos, ask staff where guests typically photograph (and whether flash is okay).

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.

Paying for your trip: please read

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.
