1. Cafe Maner

This cafe's main menu is oriented toward those keeping an eye on their figure; therefore, it includes salads with low-calorie dressings. We recommend Frize, which includes marinated bamboo, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, grapefruit and goat cheese and is topped with a ginger dressing.

2. Yest Mesto

Here you can find a wide selection of salads – all of which are served in lavish portions. Try their green salads on their own or combined with juicy steaks, cherry tomatoes and radishes. Or try a green salad with lobster.

3. Red Bar

Low-calorie dishes are widely represented here – keeping up with Moscow's new fascination with the healthy lifestyle. We particularly recommend their delicious crab salad with lemon zest, crispy croutons, nori and grape snails.

4. Lang Sang

There are a lot of salads on the main menu of this Southeast Asian restaurant. Try their exotic salads; for example, the one with frogs legs, red onions and green apples or the spicy one with ground duck fillet and Laotian herbs. Unusual, but tasty!

5. Don Pedro

It would be tough to find a better salad in town than their "Criti" Greek salad. It's made of tender feta, fresh cucumbers, large tomatoes and olives. (See review on Page 14).

6. Litsa

The salads here are truly delicious. Try the salad cocktail with lemon dressing, crab, quail eggs and grapes. Other salads on offer are also excellent and contain lots of superb fruits, vegetables and watercress. A true salad lottery!

7. Guru

This restaurant offers a wide selection of vegetarian dishes, including salads. The place is an ideal option for those who are serious about leading a healthy lifestyle. There are both traditional Indian dishes and those adapted to European stomachs.

8. Accenti

The main a la carte menu has been expanded and now includes a lot of interesting innovations. Try their salad of veal marinated in mojito mix with vegetables and black sesame seeds.

9. Propaganda

This cafe-club, oriented toward the younger generation, has added two new salads to its menu. They are fantastic, and include such heart-friendly ingredients as spinach and radish.

10. Cafe Tsiryulnya

The waitstaff here is composed of elegant young people who care a lot about their looks, which is why the cuisine is also light and healthy. The menu includes a salad with cherry tomatoes and arugula, parmesan cheese and balsamic dressing, and fruit salad with chicken breast and ginger dressing.
