Turandot (Турандот) is a high-end Pan-Asian restaurant on Tverskoy Boulevard, part of the Maison Dellos group and associated with the restaurateur Andrey Dellos.

The official website presents Turandot as Pan-Asian fine dining with a modern European approach. It’s set up for a long dinner, so reserving ahead is the sensible way to plan your evening.

Why Visit Turandot?
Turandot is worth visiting for two reasons that you can see and feel right away: a highly decorative late-baroque chinoiserie interior (the “palace” concept is the main attraction), and a Pan-Asian fine-dining menu presented with a modern European approach.
It’s also a good choice for a special dinner in central Moscow because it’s located next to Cafe Pushkin, making it easy to build an evening around two different dining styles.
Highlights of Turandot
Chinoiserie palace halls
Turandot is known for its late-baroque chinoiserie interiors—decorative Chinese-themed motifs presented in a French “palace” mood, with painted wall panels and ceiling details, plus tapestries and ornate mirrors visible across the halls.
Tip: Arrive a few minutes early so you can look around before your table is called.
French-style mantelpiece and painted paneling
Look for the French-style mantelpiece and the room-to-room decorative differences: the design language stays consistent, but individual halls can feel distinct once you’re seated.
Tip: When booking, ask which hall you’ll be in if you have a preference.
Different floors, different dining moods
The restaurant spans more than one level, with a lounge-style space on one floor and a classic dining-room feel on another, so you may experience different atmospheres depending on where you sit.
Tip: If you want a calmer meal, mention it when you book.
Pan-Asian menu with a European approach
The official description emphasizes Pan-Asian fine dining with a modern European approach. On the menu, you’ll typically see dishes associated with different Asian cuisines, including dim sum, sashimi, and Peking duck.
Tip: If you’re unsure what to order, ask the staff what dishes are most popular right now.
Peking duck and premium add-ons
Expect standout “classic” items such as Peking duck and premium add-ons like caviar (if available on the current menu). Portion size and price are usually high enough that sharing is practical.
Tip: Plan to share larger dishes so everyone can taste more than one specialty.
Next to Cafe Pushkin
Turandot sits beside Cafe Pushkin on Tverskoy Boulevard, both under Maison Dellos. It’s a convenient pairing for visitors who want a classic Russian meal and then a Pan-Asian one the same night.
Tip: If you’re pairing the two, reserve both places early—especially for evenings.
What to Order
- Peking duck, listed from the upscale price level (₽₽₽) on a travel page
- Baked salmon teriyaki, from the moderate level (₽₽), from the same source
- Black caviar with blini and sour cream, at a seasonal price
- Dim sum, which a guide describes as part of the menu
- Sashimi, mentioned in a travel guide among the Japanese dishes
Atmosphere
From the boulevard, Turandot looks modest, but inside the rooms feel like a decorated palace—painted interiors, dramatic mirrors, and a warm, formal dining atmosphere. The décor is the star, with the sense that the venue is designed for a long, dressed-up evening.
History of Turandot
Turandot opened in December 2005 on Tverskoy Boulevard, created as part of the Maison Dellos portfolio led by Andrey Dellos. It’s designed around the idea of a “palace” interior in a late-baroque chinoiserie style—French tastes for Chinese motifs—so the architecture and decoration are central to the experience, not a background detail.
In recent years, the restaurant’s chef team has been led by Dmitry Eremeev (as stated on the official website), while the concept of Pan-Asian fine dining remains the core focus.
Reservations and Ordering at Turandot
Booking is recommended, particularly for evenings. Use the official website to reserve (there is a “Book a table” option), or contact the restaurant via the details listed on the official site.
Private rooms are available; if you’re booking for a celebration, mention your timing and any seating preferences when you contact them.

How to Get to Turandot
Turandot is on Tverskoy Boulevard, near the Pushkinskaya metro area. The entrance is on the boulevard, and it can be easy to miss, so use the map pin and look for the restaurant sign rather than the building itself.
- Metro: Pushkinskaya (Line 7, purple). Expect about a 2–5 minute walk from the station area; allow extra time if you need to confirm the correct exit on the station plan.
- Walking: Once out of the metro, follow Tverskoy Boulevard along the street toward the restaurant; the central location means you can also reach it from nearby interchanges (Tverskaya / Chekhovskaya) with a short walk.
Accessibility
Accessibility details were not found on the official pages reviewed. Because the restaurant is in a historic multi-level building, it’s best to ask in advance about step-free access, elevators, and where the most accessible entrance route is.
Food Nearby
Cafe Pushkin is next door on Tverskoy Boulevard (also part of the Maison Dellos group). The two restaurants are commonly paired for a single evening because they offer very different dining styles.
What to Bring
Bring cash in Russian rubles as a practical backup (especially if you’re relying on a foreign card). Wear smart-casual or formal attire—this is a long, upscale meal in a highly decorated dining room. Also bring your phone for any booking confirmation or messages.
Photography Rules
Photography rules were not found on the official pages reviewed. Since the interior is the main attraction, ask staff before photographing areas of the dining rooms and other guests, and avoid flash.
Family Suitability
Turandot is a fine-dining restaurant with long, formal meals and a premium price level, so it’s best suited to older children who can sit comfortably through the experience. Stroller access and children’s policies were not confirmed on the official pages reviewed—ask when you book.
Moscow Vibes Tips
- Let the staff know any seating preference when booking (for example, quieter vs. more lively floors/rooms).
- Plan for a slower evening. This is not a quick stop—set aside time to enjoy the interior and the meal.
- Check the current menu before you go, especially if you’re sensitive to price or dietary restrictions.
- If you’re pairing Turandot with Cafe Pushkin next door, reserve both in advance.
- Ask about dishes when you arrive—staff can guide you toward what’s freshest on the current menu.

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.
