Restaurants


Issue 12: December 2, 2004 - February 10, 2005

Barashka
I have to admit, when the call came to review a new restaurant featuring Azeri cuisine, I was less than enthusiastic. After all, upscale food from the Caucasus can be a bit of a three-ring circus in Moscow: native costumes, writhing belly dancers and overblown decoration, all set to the beat of a shrill pseudo-Middle Eastern house band.

Banana Leaf
Attention, sports fans. Craving a curry with your cricket? A tikka with your tennis? The new Banana Leaf restaurant and sports bar, just off Tverskaya Ulitsa, offers both.

Hic Bibitur
Given Hic Bibitur’s Middle Ages theme, one might expect it to be something like Tallinn’s wonderful Olde Hansa restaurant: atmospheric darkness and candlelight, a well-researched menu of authentic historical cuisine, tranquil medieval music, waitstaff in period costume.

Kinema
Over-the-top opulence encompassing classical, Stalinist Empire and baroque styles. Gold everywhere, from the walls to the chairs.

Cinematograph
Not to be mistaken for Kinema, the Cinematograph restaurant at Zhukovka actually screens movies in its two halls. The cuisine is Russian and European.

Culinary Shortcuts
The festive season is almost upon us, and that can mean hosting dinner parties for colleagues, friends and family. But if preparation time is in short supply — or you’re just plain lazy — look to a kulinaria to provide the spread instead.


Issue 11: November 4 - December 2, 2004

Vapiano
Can middle of the road be a selling point for a restaurant, a source of comfort? In the case of Vapiano, a self-described pasta pizza bar, it certainly can.

Olkhof
“Not another beer restaurant,” you may well say, as the number of Moscow’s beer-flavored dining establishments grows by one with the addition of Olkhof.

Durdin
Beer-lovers who’ve been unable to get a table at Sokol’s popular microbrewery restaurant Durdin now have another place to enjoy its five delicious brews and refined Russian cuisine.

Glavpivtorg
Raising the bar in the retro-Soviet gastronomic scene, newly opened Glavpivtorg has toned down the ironic kitsch side of the genre while upping the tastefulness.
