About Beluga
Beluga occupies a prime position on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street, steps from the Bolshoi Theatre, and its proposition is unapologetically Russian: premium caviar, Siberian sturgeon, and the finest ingredients from the nation's waterways and forests, prepared with the precision a Michelin star demands. The restaurant has operated at the apex of Moscow's dining scene for years, its reputation built on a caviar programme of exceptional breadth and a kitchen that treats Russian seafood with European rigour.
The caviar selection at Beluga is among the most extensive in any restaurant in the world — beluga, ossetra, sevruga, and farmed Siberian sturgeon caviars are presented with traditional garnishes and contemporary accompaniments. The broader menu spans cold-water shellfish, smoked and cured fish preparations, sturgeon and pike-perch dishes, and a selection of meat courses that reference Russian tradition without being bound by it.
The room is elegant — dark wood panelling, warm lighting, tables well-spaced for private conversation — making Beluga ideal for the kind of serious business entertainment that requires both exceptional food and a room in which conversation can flow freely. The wine list is extensive, with strong Champagne and white Burgundy representation alongside Georgian natural wines and the better Russian productions.
Beluga received its Michelin star in the 2021 Moscow guide and has maintained its position as one of the city's most reliable addresses for special occasions. The proximity to the Bolshoi makes it a natural pre- or post-theatre choice for those with evening seats at Russia's most famous stage.
Best Occasion Fit
For birthday celebrations and client entertainment, Beluga combines the luxury of caviar service with the gravitas of a Michelin-starred kitchen in one of Moscow's most culturally significant locations. A pre-Bolshoi dinner at Beluga — caviar, champagne, then the theatre — is an evening that any guest will consider exceptional.
