Serves meat, vegan options available. Est. 2011 as a vegetarian restaurant opposite the Tretyakov Gallery. Started serving meat in July 2020 with a new menu that only includes three vegan options. Removed June 2021 due to lack of vegan options with the changed menu and new concept.

It’s not a vegan place anymore, sadly. Nothing to eat. It’s time to remove this place from this app.

So sad to hear they aren't vegetarian anymore and that they only have a few vegan options. - Edit
I've enjoyed many a leisurely lunch at Cafe Sok while on day trips and weekend trips to Moscow. It's perfect for dining outdoors in the shade of succulent plants, people watching on the casual street in front of the Tretyakov Gallery. So sad to hear that they recently reopened with a new menu that is no longer vegetarian and only includes a few vegan options. :(

Small portions but very good taste - Edit
We read a lot about the nice food at the cafe and yes it’s really nice. You can try typical Russian food in vegan or vegetarian.but we had to order three times cause the portions aren’t really big. Afterwards we learned that in Russia you eat a salad, a soup and a main dish for lunch, so maybe because of this the portions are small.

nice place - Edit
the service was good and the place very nice. it's a bonus that it's right next to a tourist spot and you don't have to look around long after you did some sightseeing. there are a lot tasty sounding meals, some of which are of more or less vegetarian or veganized versions of Russian classics
Read morePros: perfect location next to Tretjakovskaya Galereya, lots of vegan options, nice staff

Nice place - Edit
The cafe is slightly hidden so it was not overcrowded and we could get a big table for our company of 5 people.
Read moreThe service was relatively fine as they were quick and responsive but not really friendly.
Food was nice, it was hard to choose due to the variety but almost everything we got was tasty: chickpeas burger was really great, same as potato wedges it came with and the sause.. god, I would take this sause with me and put it on everything! Veggy lasagna was tasty, momo and caprese were rather small and caprese didn't have enough pesto but it was still tasty.
Our biggest issue was the tea pot as we ordered 700 ml of tea and half of it ended up on our table because it was impossible to pour it directly into a cup.
Be aware that they include 10% of the service into the bill.
Pros: Nice selection of dishes, Location
Cons: Wild tea pots (only those which are 700 ml)

Big selection - Edit
They have a big selection.
Read moreI had the impression that the dishes vary from the photos from the menu sometimes. Therefore the size was also hard to guess. My friend's was enough, mine kinda small.
The food was delicious though, staff friendy.
And somewhat pricy, as the sign sais.

A surprise - Edit
Just looking for a place to have a drink before visiting the Tretyakov Gallery we came upon Cafe Sok. I had a quick look at the menu and to my surprise and delight discovered that it is vegetarian. Of course we then ordered more than just a drink...

Not healthy, but vegan. - Edit
Kudos for having vegan options, but boy.. so much salt and oil. They can have an oil bottle and salt at the table, but why do they make the food with so much of it is beyond of my comprehension.
Read morePros: Variety of vegan options
Cons: Way to heavy on oil and salt

delicious food and professional service. - Edit
The menu was extensive and in English and the staff could speak English. The food was good quality. I had the fig, avocado and pear cake and beetroot burger. Both were good. What I didn't like was there was a 10% surcharge on top of the expensive prices. I couldn't read the Russian so I don't know what it was for.
Read morePros: good quality, large variety, english

Lovely place - Edit
So much to like about this place. Beautifully situated in a pedestrian street opposite Tretyakov Gallery, the menu is elaborate and has clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan and raw options. Portions were good and the food was very tasty, fresh and refined. Probably the best meal we had in Moscow.

This is the best vegan place in Moscow. Located in the center next to the art gallery.
Read moreAll the dishes we ordered were excellent! Vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan - all good there. Photos posted with all items tasted.

Это лучшее веганское кафе в Москве. Очень удобно расположено около Третьяковки.
Всё что мы заказывали было чудесно. Вегетарианское, веганское и сыроедное - все готовят прекрасно. Фотографии опробованного приложены.
Персонал очень милый и всегда поможет с выбором. Есть меню на английском, с четким определением что что и фотографиями того как блюда действительно выглядят.
Pros: Delicious food, big variety, Location and staff, Clear menu
Cons: Not a big choice of ice-cream and shakes

Wonderful selection and high quality food - Edit
Amazing selection of different kinds of food, from sushi and stir fries to burritos, falafel and borsch, their menu can really satisfy any culinary preferences.
Read moreMost dishes are actually vegan and they also have many raw options.
We tried momo dumplings, vegan stir-fry, borsch, mushroom dumplings, warm American rolls, falafel, and charlotte pie (a kind of apple pie).
Everything was absolutely delicious!
Pros: great variety, very tasty throughout the whole selection, outside tables in a very pretty and quiet area (no

Varied and tasty food - Edit
SOK is ideally located right next door the Tretyakov Gallery in the heart of Moscow's city center. The place itself is nothing of the extraordinary, but it's quiet and peaceful, and comfy enough to stay there and chill out a little bit.
Read moreThe menu offers a lot of different options, especially - but not limited to - Asian recipes: soups, dumplings, hot dishes with vegetables... And a great number of desserts as well.
The price is moderate, but very reasonable considering the overall quality of the food, which is quite tasty and healthy.
To be recommended!
Pros: Tasty, Location

Cafe Sok Excellent Food - Edit
Went here on an early Wednesday afternoon & loved the food. Their menu has English explanations listed beside the Russian. Waiter did not speak English but it's easy to point at what you want as there are pictures.

Nicest cake I've ever had!! - Edit
Loved this cafe! I'd already had lunch so I had a latte and the raw chocolate cake made from nuts and dates. It was so nice and really filling. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. The other items on the menu all looks good - lots of big salads, will definitely be back.

Excellent vegan soup and desert - Edit
Definitely worth a visit - especially when it's warm outside and you can dine at the terrace.
Read moreVery good vegan soup and great deserts. I had an eggplant for main course, which was lovely. BTW - no alcohol served, so if you want to celebrate - you have to do it with fresh juice.
Overall a more than decent culinary experience, especially given that it's Moscow... not the vegan capital of the world ;) Nice English menus with photos, so no surprises.. and consistency guaranteed. Highly recommend!
Pros: good food, value for money, nice interior design
Cons: no alcohol served :), a bit far from the main street

Vegan in Moscow! Cafe [censored] - Edit
I was so happy to find this place for lunch, great spot to sit outside in the sun with the shade of the trees in summer, there were vegan & vegetarian & raw choices on the menu, and they staff spoke English well luckily for us! I had a vegan version of traditional Russian potato dish and really enjoyed it, deserts & drinks were nice too. Happy to find this cafe Moscow. I think the name is spelt wrong Happy Cow, the signs all say Cafe [censored] when you are there & it is definitely the same place.
Read morePros: Great Food, Good choice for vegan & vego, English translation of menu

My favourite in Moscow, just awesome - Edit
This place became my favourite in Moscow. Prices are fair, not cheap neither expensive, but the quality of the food is just great, awesome, superb, the ambience is excellent and very relaxed, the personnel speaks English, the menu is very well detailed and with excellent pictures that give a good idea of what to order.
Read moreAs a bonus, the world famous Tretyakov gallery is just across the street, you can go and enjoy top Russian art and then go for a super lunch/dinner.
I know where I will go for my next visit to Moscow, this place is just great.

Definitely worth a visit - Edit
This was our favorite restaurant diring our stay in Moscow. It was easy to find - straight across the main entrance to the State Tretyakov Gallery. Food was delicious and vegan dishes were clearly marked. I'm only giving it 4 cows because it's not fully vegan but still it's definitely worth a visit!
Read morePros: location, good food, nice staff
Cons: not 100 % vegan
