Yeliseyevskiy

Yeliseyevskiy is not just a grocery store; it's a landmark of Moscow's Garden Ring and a feast for the senses. Located at 14 Tverskaya Street, this early 20th-century building dazzles with its ornate Art Nouveau facade and opulent interior, featuring crystal chandeliers, gilded mirrors, and stained glass. Originally opened in 1901 by the Yeliseyev brothers, it was one of the most luxurious food emporiums in the Russian Empire. Today, it remains a high-end grocery, offering everything from caviar and champagne to artisan chocolates and traditional Russian delicacies. Even if you don't buy anything, stepping inside is like visiting a museum. The store is a popular stop for both tourists and locals, ranking #15 of 719 shopping destinations in Moscow. The experience is as much about the architecture as the products.

Um pouco de história

Built in 1898–1901 for the Yeliseyev merchant family, the building originally housed a luxury grocery store that became a symbol of pre-revolutionary opulence. After the Bolshevik revolution, it was nationalized and continued operating as a state-run store. It has been restored to its former glory.
