Its name comes from a town in what's now Montenegro, but many of the dishes are Serbian or Bosnian; the owners are sick of politics, so just call the place Yugoslav. The cheerful atmosphere and generous portions make Budva appealing for lunch or dinner and offer few reminders of the turmoil that has ripped the Balkans. Many of the dishes have a Russian or Mediterranean thrust, reflecting Yugoslavia's geography between the eastern Slavs and the southern seas. The rpshut, or dry cured ham, features in several dishes, as does the kaimak, a kind of buttermilk. The sausages and stuffed peppers are top choices.

Famous designers and artists have been working on the restaurant's interior for two years. As a result large areas of Italian and Spanish halls turned divided into private zones, located on different levels and joined with sudden crossings. There is a billiards hall next to the bar (Russian billiards and free). You can get into the cigar room from there too. You can choose Japanese, Greek and Italian halls different by style but providing equal services: a swimming pool with exquisite mosaic, Finnish and Turkish saunas, shower rooms, rest rooms, TV, karaoke-centre and a telephone for connection with the world.

Whereas many restaurants in Moscow seem to have gone for glitz, the owners of Scandinavia have opted for cosy and comforting. This is one of the most serene dining rooms in the city: burnt-orange walls with blue-green trim, comfortable wooden chairs, upholstered benches and arrangements of dried flowers on deep window ledges all combine to make you feel as if you're in a Swedish country manor. Three Swedish chefs are in charge of the menu, resulting in a mixture of Scandinavian, modern European and American cuisines. If you're out for a purely Scandinavian selection, try the smoked reindeer with a drop of aquavit, a traditional herbal spirit. Try washing it down with the tasty Swedish beer Pripps. Despite being just a few yards away from the bustle of Tverskaya ulitsa, Scandinavia's balcony and summer beer garden are the most tranquil and popular places for summer outdoor dining in town. A special, cheaper summer menu for the café provides plenty of choices for those on a tighter budget.
