Winter in Moscow is a spectacle of its own, and a visit to AnderSon during this season is like stepping into a winter wonderland. The café goes all out with its holiday decorations, complete with twinkling lights, festive ornaments, and sometimes even a snow machine that adds an extra layer of winter magic. It’s the perfect spot to warm up after exploring Moscow's iconic winter sites, like the Red Square or the nearby ice-skating rinks. AnderSon offers a range of hearty winter dishes, such as beef stroganoff and borscht, to keep you warm from the inside out. But the highlight is undoubtedly their hot chocolate, which is thick, rich, and akin to melted chocolate bars. Paired with a Russian winter, it’s a match made in heaven and an experience not to be missed.
