October gastronomic events in Moscow and St. Petersburg: revealing details

“To input”

Rochdelskaya Street, 15, building 41

Especially for autumn, the restaurant’s brand chef Victor Beley has created a new breakfast menu with understandable dishes for every day. Now, in the morning, the chef offers a hearty country breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, baked potatoes, beef tongue simmered in the oven and a fresh vegetable salad. He prepares omelets of two types: in the Far Eastern style with crab, tomato salsa and cucumbers and with baked cheese and beef sausages, and fills the croissants with Russian smoked red salmon or turkey, supplementing them with poached eggs and various sauces. For lovers of dessert dishes, the chef offers crepes flambé with custard, berry sauce and fresh berries and delicate cream manna and sour cream ice cream. Breakfast is served daily from 12:00 to 17:00.

“Zoïka”

Way of the Bolshoi Patriarchate, 8с1

This season, Zoyka introduces restaurant brunches for the first time. They are only served on weekends from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., followed by liqueurs and sparkling Horse’s Head. On the menu, a soft brioche with avocado and cream cheese, a French omelette with truffle and parmesan mousse and the legendary croque-monsieur toast with roast beef and pickles. If you want something unusual, you should try the Viennese waffles, which have a dough made from zucchini and almond flour and are served with salmon and fresh salty avocado ice cream. Russian donuts are also offered. At Zoyka, they prepare them themselves according to a special recipe and serve them with different fillings: vanilla and raspberry cream, chocolate and pear cream, Camembert and vanilla cream.

“Cheese factory”

Presnenskaya Embankment, 10, building 2

Vitaly Lebedev, head of the Moscow city cheese factory, presents his version of breakfast, a pleasant way to spend cool autumn mornings. The menu is large and varied: more than 30 dishes and additives for all tastes. It’s definitely worth ordering an omelette or scrambled eggs with mozzarella, spinach and pepper; shakshuka with feta cheese is also good. If you want something lighter with hints of sunny warmth, serve mango and passion fruit yogurt, and for something “sweet,” pancakes with cherry jam. Breakfast on weekdays is available from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and on weekends – all day

OSHI Izakaya

Malaya Bronnaya Street, 22, building 2

The izakaya is launching three new desserts, each with Japanese influences. For example, the traditional “Fish Taiyaki” is an interpretation of the original sweetness of the land of the rising sun. By the way, “Tai” in the name means happiness and prosperity, so they eat the dessert to attract good luck. Tiramisu lovers will love the “Sakura” variation, in which mascarpone, coffee and savoiardi complement each other with the taste of sakura and ripe cherries. Another new product is OSHI’s signature dessert. It’s a jasmine cheesecake filled with pear and yuzu, covered in milk chocolate and red velvet. Unusual shape: one of the figurines from the OSHI game (which gives its name to the establishment).

EMO

Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street, 15, building.

For quality music, you can head to the small venue club ÓMU, part of the LÚWO multi-level system. It symbolizes the underground kingdom and becomes the logical continuation of the restaurant. The club is intimate with a bottle service system: the bar offers numerous bottled cocktails, and the wine list includes a selection of wines and champagne from renowned high-end brands. Much attention was paid here to the technical equipment, thanks to which the sound has become one of the best in the city. DJs are carefully selected and are often invited from other countries to present the entire high-quality sound palette: from melodic house to progressive melodic techno. Entry requirements: free, FC/DC.

TUTTO BENÉ

Presnenskaya Embankment, 8, building. 1

Every week, the Italian restaurant receives fresh seafood specialties, and on this day the team organizes special dinners – “Fish Thursdays”. TUTTO BENE chefs cut tuna, swordfish, yellowtail and other fish in an open kitchen in front of diners and immediately prepare tartares, ceviches, carpaccio, steaks and much more. They usually start at 7:00 p.m., entry is free, but we recommend reserving tables in advance: places fill up quickly.

St. Petersburg

Bistro Taste

24 Vasilievsky Island line, 25

Alexey Feliksov’s new project, incorporating all the best from his first restaurants Faces and Taste, promises to become a point of attraction for local residents and lovers of delicious food. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Parisian bistros with their mosaic floors, their cozy little tables with vintage-style lamps, their cozy upholstered chairs and sofas. The kitchen was headed by brand chef Karapet Vaganyan (Faces, Taste), and the quotes from the menu are familiar and understandable – eggplant parmigiano, trout tartare with guacamole, duck ravioli, cod with tomatoes and basil, gigli au rabbit and much more. Particular attention is paid to breakfast in the new project. Served daily from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., they offer a variety of morning options, from pumpkin rice porridge and salmon brioche to several Taste Bistro signature chef breakfasts.

Greek

Rybatskaya Street, 2

The GRECCO restaurant always remains a sunny corner of Greece in St. Petersburg, even in bad weather, and this feeling is reinforced by the new duties of the restaurant’s chef, Anton Schetchikov. Using produce from the fall harvest, he prepares his own version of a Mediterranean classic. Must-try updates – rich lentil soup with tender simmered veal cheeks, creamy cheese risotto with beef tartare and lamb tongues with mashed potatoes and fresh herb salad and pomegranate. Two new salads accompany them perfectly: a warm one with seafood and a salad with crispy eggplant, Uzbek tomatoes and a spicy vinaigrette made with sweet peppers.

Supramen

St. Petersburg

The restaurant chain serving pan-Asian cuisine is introducing a seasonal offering to its menu based on mild and sweet pumpkin that is unlike any other in its vibrant aroma. Guests can enjoy fluffy fried bao with creamy pumpkin, where the flesh is fried and simmered with coconut milk. For lovers of rice sticks, toekbokki is prepared with pumpkin, gochudian pasta and mozzarella, and lovers of light dishes are served a salad of pumpkin marinated in rice vinegar and honey and Serbian cheese .

“Attic”

Pochtamtskaya Street, 3-5

In October, the bar of the legendary Mansarda restaurant renewed the concept again: Latin America on fire gave way to original Asia. Both the visual design of the bar and the bar and gastronomic offer have changed. Cocktails combine drinking traditions of Asian countries, and the menu offers dishes of Pan-Asian cuisine. You can visit the bar from Thursday to Saturday, either leaving the restaurant after dinner or voluntarily for cocktails and quality music – DJ sets are played on the remote every evening, echoing the current concept of the bar .

Bistrot Mio

Kazanskaya Street, 3a

Mio continues to give the warmth of Tuscany even on the stormiest days and invites you to savor the classics of Italian cuisine with the signature touches of brand chef Francesco Barbato. As an aperitif, it is worth ordering “Assortment No. 2”, which includes Vittello Tonatto, prosciutto crudo San Daniele and an assortment of Sicilian olives. We certainly taste the creamy seasonal ripe pumpkin soup, the candele with tomatoes and eggplant and the casarecce with Tuscan stew, and for two we have spaghetti from the Gragnano region with lobster. For dessert – Panna Cotta with fresh figs and shiso or fermented milk mousse baked with white truffle.

VIEW GA Forest SPA, 4*

Leningrad region, village Volochaevka, Priozernaya street, 9

In a series of busy urban routines, it can be difficult to find time to transition to a gentle pace of life and regain strength. Sometimes dropping everything and leaving town for a few days is the best decision. Breathe fragrant and clean air, admire a picturesque sunrise, admire the nature of the Karelian Isthmus, listen to the singing of birds, swim in a year-round heated pool, treat yourself to spa treatments, relax you in a dark hammam and taste dishes cooked in a wood. hot oven. All this is available at the VIEW GA Forest SPA country hotel, 4*. It’s nice to be able to come here spontaneously: the “Standard”, “Junior Suite” or “Lux” cottages have everything you need for a vacation.
