Nice place. Good quality food, with very reasonable prices.
This is quite possibly one of our favourite restaurants in Moscow, no, Russia, no, the World.
The food is out of this world. Everything is cooked to perfection with flavours that burst in your mouth.
Service is professional, courteous and quick.
The only complaint is that it isn't the easiest to get to on the 5th floor, but it is worth the effort.
The medevik cake tasted stale and artificial. It arrived at the table with no cutlery, so we kindly asked the waiter for two forks. He just wandered off, never to be seen again. Completely disinterested.
I would also like to mention that the toilets were in a disgusting state and generally, the coffee shop seems to have an issue with cleanliness.
The coffee tasted ok though. Hence 2 stars.
I cannot fault the food. The quality is high. Everything tastes authentic and fresh. The only let down was the service. Even towards the end of the evening when only a few tables were remaining, our waiter didn't come and clean all the dirty plates from the table. Shame really as it was the only negative from a wonderful meal.
The coffee and desserts are of a very high quality. The price is also very high. Still, quality comes at a cost.
As you enter Artest, be prepared to try some of the best food Moscow has to offer. Downstairs is the cloakroom and kitchen, which also has a chefs table. We were politely shown up to the main dining room where it is a feast for the eyes. The interior design is beautiful, and the centrepiece log fire adds a touch of warmth.
Currently, they are only serving an a la carte menu, but there are plenty of options to choose from. Each dish is prepared with skill and attention to detail. The cooking is absolutely first class. Interesting flavour combinations. Artest has it all.
If you are in Moscow and you like fine dining....Artest has to be on the top of your list.
Carried out a very professional and almost invisible repair to a badly torn pair of jeans. Very kind and attentive staff.
I have lived in Italy for over 9 years, so I wasn't sure about visiting an Italian restaurant in a mall. However, this place surprised me. The staff (Special mention to Igor) are so friendly and welcoming. The food was very tasty with the portion size perfectly judged to leave you full without feeling stuffed. If you are nearby, I would recommend it.
A really well stocked music store. Very friendly staff with a great knowledge of music. As a bonus, they spoke amazing English, which was good because my Russian is terrible. If you want some music on vinyl, cassette, CD or some music literature, then this is the place.
