Family Restaurants Where Fun is Served First

Ribambelle Restaurant

Ribambelle is more than just a restaurant; it's a true family club where both children, parents, and grandparents can experience the joy of time spent together. You can drop by for a visit at several locations across Moscow — there are four in the city: "Vremena Goda", "Apothecary garden", "Serdtse Stolitsy", and "Khamovniki." Each has its own concept and unique interior, but the cosy vibe, amazing atmosphere, and, of course, delicious food remain consistent across all locations. For little guests, Ribambelle has built elaborate play areas where children can have fun with their peers under the supervision of entertainers, and at culinary and creative workshops, they can make a unique souvenir or even bake a real cake.

The menu features seasonal and signature dishes, with special attention paid to the children's section: young traditionalists will find classic culinary masterpieces here (like mini-cutlets with mash, french fries, nuggets), while more adventurous little foodies can sample unusual flavour combinations (for example, pasta with yellow chicken in a tomato-cream sauce). Young gourmands will also appreciate the variety of desserts (cake pops, gingerbread with honey glaze, meringues on a stick), and parents can order all sorts of cakes and pastries for any celebration from the restaurant's own confectionery. Ribambelle is also a place to host any family festivity, and they can organise off-site events upon request.

AnderSon Cafe

AnderSon is a unique chain of family cafe-bakeries that has won the hearts of its regular clients over the years, thanks to its cosy atmosphere and attention to the smallest details. In this welcoming space for the whole family, everyone (regardless of age) will find something to enjoy. The snug interiors (each cafe is different), large windows, comfortable armchairs, chairs, and sofas, along with many charming little details (drawings and photos on the walls, potted plants, bookshelves, bright decorative cushions, and figurines) — create a warm, homey atmosphere. For little guests, each cafe has play zones (with ball pits and toys), and some even feature summer verandas and large courtyards. They regularly host cooking workshops and festive events for children. You can also celebrate any family occasion at AnderSon. By the way, many locations in the chain have dedicated nursing and changing rooms for mothers with infants.

Littles Kids Play Cafe

This is a unique space for family leisure where children can have a blast, and parents can relax in a pleasant atmosphere. People come here as if visiting a friend's home and are sure to change into indoor shoes (after all, you swap your outdoor shoes for slippers at home, right?). The venue blends elements of a cafe, a playground, and even an early development centre. The main feature of the cafe is its meticulously designed play area, where every child will find something engaging. The space is divided into several themed zones: a play area with safe attractions, a creative workshop with classes on a regular basis, and a relaxation zone for parents. It's worth noting, however, that access to the play areas is paid. The cafe regularly holds entertainment programmes and offers the option to book festive events.

The fairly extensive menu focuses on European cuisine. Here you can try, for example, ravioli with duck and goat cheese cream or tataki of organic beef, and you absolutely must sample their delicious desserts. The children's menu is developed with the needs and tastes of little guests in mind, emphasising wholesome ingredients: dorado fillet with mashed potatoes, a chicken bowl, green buckwheat, pasta with parmesan, and much more.

Address: Sergeya Makeyeva Street, 9к1

Restaurant "Osteria Mario"

You can also immerse yourself in the atmosphere of sunny Italy at one of the Osteria Mario restaurants. The establishments are located in different districts of Moscow, making them accessible to many residents and guests of the capital: simply choose the one that's most convenient. The interiors of all the restaurants are designed in a Mediterranean style, feeling warm and cosy even on frosty winter days: an abundance of light, brick and wood, soft sofas and comfortable armchairs, elegant chandeliers and light lampshades, along with plenty of greenery, preserve the feeling of an Italian summer.

The menu consists of traditional Italian dishes, presented not only in their classic form but also with the chef's personal touch. Pastas, pizzas (including Roman-style), risottos, salads, seafood, fish, meat, and much more will please even the most discerning gourmets.
