The story
Regent sits on Plotnikov Lane in Moscow, a quiet side street in the Arbat district that carries a certain unhurried character. The restaurant has built a reputation around European cuisine executed with enough care and precision to attract the attention of Wine Spectator, which awarded it the Best of Award of Excellence in 2022 — a distinction the guide reserves for restaurants that go well beyond a token list and offer genuine depth and breadth across regions and vintages.
Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a list that is thoughtfully composed, well-stored, and matched to the food on the table. At Regent, that means guests approaching European cuisine can expect their glass to be treated with the same seriousness as their plate — whether that is a precise pairing with a lighter course or a more ambitious bottle chosen for a longer evening.
The address on Plotnikov Lane places Regent within easy reach of central Moscow, in a neighbourhood where the pace allows for a proper lunch or an unhurried dinner. The European cooking here is the anchor, and the recognised wine programme gives it a partner worthy of the occasion.
