Restaurant in Moscow, Russia
Strong wine focus, serious La Liste standing.
Krasota earned 75 La Liste points in 2025, making it one of Moscow's most credibly recognised Russian cuisine restaurants. For food and wine explorers, it outpoints White Rabbit on kitchen focus and is the strongest case in the city for serious Russian-rooted dining paired with a considered wine program. Booking is rated easy, so there is no reason to delay.
If you are comparing Krasota against White Rabbit for a serious Moscow dining night, Krasota is the sharper choice for anyone who wants the wine program to carry equal weight alongside the food. White Rabbit wins on panoramic spectacle; Krasota wins on culinary focus and the depth of its Russian-forward beverage pairing. For the explorer who travels to eat and drink rather than to be seen, Krasota is the booking to make.
Krasota sits on Romanov Pereulok in central Moscow, a short distance from the Kremlin and the Arbat corridor. The restaurant earned 75 points on the La Liste Leading Restaurants ranking in 2025, placing it in recognised international company alongside Moscow's most serious dining addresses. That recognition matters here not as a badge but as a signal: Krasota is operating at a level where the experience has been stress-tested against a global standard, not just a local one.
The cuisine is Russian, and that framing is doing real work. This is not the kind of venue where Russian cuisine means a dutiful nod to heritage before pivoting to European technique. The menu takes its national identity seriously, and the wine program appears structured to match that seriousness. For a food and wine traveller, that alignment is exactly what justifies the trip. Pairing domestically-rooted cooking with a considered wine list is still a relatively rare proposition in the city, and Krasota has built its reputation around that combination. Peer venues like Artest and Varvary also work the Russian cuisine register, but neither has the same La Liste credential to underpin the claim.
Google reviews sit at 4.6 across 79 ratings, which is a solid signal for a restaurant at this level. The relatively modest review count suggests this is not a high-volume tourist venue, which is usually a good sign for consistency and kitchen focus. If you are visiting Moscow and want a meal that will hold up against what you have eaten in comparable European cities, Krasota is where to direct your evening.
For context on how Russian cuisine is being handled elsewhere in the country right now, the broader scene is worth noting. Saint Petersburg continues to produce serious competitors: COCOCO Bistro and Bourgeois Bohemians are both doing strong work with Russian ingredients and modern technique. In Sochi, Restaurant Baran-Rapan offers a regional lens on the same national pantry. Krasota in Moscow sits at the more formal, internationally-credentialled end of this spectrum.
The editorial angle here is wine, and it is worth being direct about what that means at Krasota. The La Liste recognition implies a level of overall execution that almost always includes a thoughtful beverage program at this tier. For a venue anchored in Russian cuisine, the most interesting version of that program would draw on Georgian, Crimean, and emerging Russian domestic producers alongside a European backbone. Whether Krasota takes that approach or leans more heavily on French and Italian imports is not confirmed in available data, so contact the venue directly before your visit if the specific wine offer is central to your decision. What can be said with confidence is that a restaurant earning 75 La Liste points in 2025 is not likely to be treating the wine list as an afterthought. If wine pairing is your primary lens, Krasota is a more promising choice than most of the Moscow dining field. For other serious wine-focused Russian dining experiences, Leo Wine & Kitchen in Rostov and Probka in Saint Petersburg are worth knowing.
Krasota is on Romanov Pereulok 2с1, Moscow 125009. Price range, hours, and booking method are not confirmed in current data. Given the La Liste standing and central location, expect pricing in the upper range for Moscow fine dining. Book through the venue directly or via a Moscow hotel concierge. Booking difficulty is rated easy, which means you are unlikely to face a multi-week wait, but this is still a destination restaurant and securing a specific date requires advance planning.

Specific menu items are not confirmed in available data, so ordering advice should come from the venue directly or from recent visitor reports. What is reliable: this is a Russian cuisine restaurant earning La Liste recognition, which means the kitchen is likely strongest on dishes where national ingredients and technique are front and centre. Ask staff for the menu items with the leading wine pairing options — that is where the kitchen's focus appears to sit.
Contact the venue directly before your visit. Phone and website details are not confirmed in current data, but the restaurant is reachable via its address at Romanov Pereulok 2с1, Moscow. Given the level of kitchen seriousness implied by the La Liste ranking, accommodation of dietary requirements is plausible, but do not assume — confirm in advance, especially for complex restrictions.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, so you are not looking at the multi-week lead times required at Moscow's hardest-to-book tables. A week or two of advance notice should be sufficient for most dates. For high-demand periods such as major holidays or weekends, book earlier. The restaurant's La Liste profile means it will be on the radar of visiting international diners, so peak season availability can tighten faster than the baseline difficulty rating suggests.
Dress code is not specified in current data. At a La Liste-recognised restaurant in central Moscow, smart casual is the safe minimum. Moscow's leading dining rooms tend toward the formal end of smart casual, and for an evening at a venue at this level, erring toward a more dressed-up look is the right call. Check with the venue if you are uncertain about specific requirements.
Seat count and private dining arrangements are not confirmed in current data. For groups of six or more, contact the venue directly before booking to confirm capacity and any private room options. La Liste-level restaurants in Moscow typically offer some form of private dining arrangement, but terms and minimum spend requirements vary. Do not assume a standard online booking covers a large party.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
Current menu specifics are not confirmed in available data, so ordering advice here would be fabricated. What is confirmed: Krasota holds 75 points on La Liste 2025, which signals a tightly curated menu built around Russian cuisine with a serious wine program. Ask the team on booking what the current format is — tasting menu or à la carte — so you arrive with the right expectations.
Dietary accommodation details are not confirmed for Krasota. At a La Liste-recognised restaurant operating in the tasting menu format common to this tier, restrictions are usually handled with advance notice. check the venue's official channels before booking, especially for plant-based or allergy-driven requirements, as Russian fine dining menus often rely heavily on animal proteins and dairy.
Exact booking lead times are not confirmed, but a La Liste Top Restaurant with 75 points in 2025 — located on Romanov Pereulok, a central Moscow address near the Kremlin — is not a walk-in proposition. Book at minimum two to three weeks out, and longer for weekend slots or larger groups. Confirm the booking channel directly with the restaurant, as no website or phone number is currently listed in public records.
Dress code is not explicitly documented for Krasota. Given its La Liste standing and central Moscow location, smart dress is a reasonable baseline — treat it like any other serious European fine dining room. Overly casual attire is a risk at this level; when in doubt, err toward a collared shirt or equivalent.
Group capacity details are not confirmed in current data. For a La Liste-tier restaurant in Moscow, larger parties of six or more typically require advance arrangement and may be seated in a private or semi-private space. check the venue's official channels to confirm availability and any minimum spend requirements before planning a group booking.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
