Bjorn Verified listing

Bjorn is a modern Nordic restaurant located at Ulitsa Pyatnitskaya 3/4, in the central Zamoskvorechye district of Moscow. It is known for embracing a “zero-waste” culinary concept, where the kitchen minimizes food waste by using all parts of ingredients and focusing on sustainability. The interior design reflects Scandinavian aesthetics—natural and serene, with wood, moss, and earth-toned décor—creating a cosy yet refined atmosphere ideal for those who appreciate both design and eco-conscious dining.

The cuisine follows the New Nordic philosophy and is led by young chef Nikita Poderyagin. The menu highlights seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, often featuring dishes like gravlax, venison, wild herbs, root vegetables, and foraged berries. Guests can also opt for tasting menus or themed events like “Wild Dinner,” which showcase unique and hyper-seasonal produce. The beverage list complements the food with creative cocktails, house-made lemonades, and thoughtfully chosen wine selections, often with a natural or organic lean.

Bjorn is open daily from midday until midnight, making it suitable for both lunch and dinner. The atmosphere is upscale casual—relaxed but polished—and smart casual attire is recommended. Due to its popularity and limited seating, reservations are strongly advised, especially on weekends. While prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of ingredients, seasonal focus, and culinary creativity that define this standout dining experience in Moscow.
