  
Russian hospitality, Russian history and genuine American cuisine are all
combined under one roof in the historic center of Moscow at the restaurant
known as "Uncle Guilly's". Named in honor of one of Moscow's most famous
citizens, Vladimir Gilyarovskiy, the restaurant evokes the spirit of its
patron, who was many things - painter, poet, reporter and writer - an
irrepressible lover of Moscow.
   "Uncle Guilly's" is sited in the vaulted cellar of a building dating back to the year 1700. Over the past three centuries, the site has hosted Napoleon's emissary to Moscow during the invasion of 1812, a Chinese sauna, and later, a house of illrepute.
   A printing house, specializing in periodicals on fine wine, began operation in 1890. The firm claimed the honor of publishing the first guide to wine for the Tsar. Original print plates are displayed in the restaurant, lacquered into the walls in the circular back dining room. After the revolution, the site lapsed into obscurity until its resurrection as one of Moscow's first private restaurants in the early 1980's. "Cafe Stolyeshniky", designed around and preserved from an underground river, became a favorite gathering spot of students, young dissidents and bohemians. In 1993, the restaurant was renovated with a view towards highlighting its original Russian design, and began serving its now famous American steaks.
  
"Uncle Guilly's" has been called "the Best Steak Restaurant in Moscow" and
has enjoyed substantial critical acclaim. The Financial Times, Cosmopolitan
and Forbes have graced the restaurant with praise, citing offerings of "the
best burgers in Russia", and "the best Buffalo wings in the world".
