Closeted inside the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall on Triumfalnaya Ploshchad, Brioche is a good pre- or postconcert stop for cake and coffee. There's always a decent selection of sandwiches, the pastries are fresh, and you can buy croissants and baguettes here as well. Ingredients are brought in from France as is, seemingly, the convivial spirit.
