Cafe Ararat, in the Ararat Park Hyatt Moscow hotel, is, if not
literally, then at least symbolically the direct descendant of the
legendary eponymous cafe. Its famous forebear was a much-loved fixture
for many decades, frequented by diplomats, dignitaries and performers
from the neighboring theaters.
The original closed in the 1980s but was reborn when the Ararat Park
Hyatt Moscow opened at the same spot in 2002. On the first floor
of the upmarket hotel, the cafe aims to recreate the feel of the
original, with murals depicting landmarks such as Mount Ararat and Lake
Sevan. And in striving to recreate authentic flavors, the restaurant
flies in its fruits and vegetables twice weekly from Armenia.
