The veranda season is in full swing.Where to sit with a friend? Where to look at postcard views with a visiting foreigner? Where to take the family? We have selected for you 10 Moscow places in the fresh air, where it is not only delicious, but also beautiful. If food is more than just food for you, but also a reason to see off the sunset or meet the sunrise, look at the eternally rushing Muscovites, admire the city from the roof or just breathe the air with a cup of tea - all roads lead to the terrace. There are about two thousand of them in Moscow: 24-hour, with playgrounds, live music and silence, with a view of the Kremlin and the surrounding area closed by a dense green wall, with haute cuisine and hamburgers... Where to go? We believe that in a good lunch - almost like a classic - everything should be great: . These are the places we chose. Our opinion: - For most restaurants, a summer terrace is not only a way to please their regular customers who want to get out into the fresh air, but also an opportunity to add tables. Often, the veranda ends up resembling a metro ring line during rush hour. Such overcrowding usually indicates either a reasonable price or excellent cuisine. But a good restaurant manager will almost always prefer a table reservation to a crush. Because a restaurant is not only about food, but also about comfort. In any case, you shouldn't dine with children in overly crowded places.
1. "Turandot"
One of the most picturesque open areascapital - in the restaurant "Turandot", famous for its whimsical decor: the style of the late Baroque is a great rarity in public interiors. The romantic trellis terrace, drowning in flowers and wild grapes, takes guests from the roof of a Moscow mansion to the gardens of the palace and park ensembles of St. Petersburg. It is worth going at least to look at the filigree work of the decorator, who managed to create a lively and modern space, full of antiques and ornate details.
2. Happiness on the roof
What happiness can there be in summer without a veranda?And in Bolshoy Putinkovsky Lane it is, of course, there, with a view of Pushkinskaya Square and a little bit of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin; with a lot of nice little things that are interesting to look at while waiting for a leisurely waiter. Of course, "Happiness" is white and has an airy-marshmallow mood.
3.02 Lounge
The most "sovereign" view of the capital:Red Square from the 12th floor of The Ritz-Carlton. When you need to entertain a foreigner on a business trip, you can't do without it. If the interior seems a little "dry", look at the bar counter and futuristic red and gold chairs: the Third Rome in a modern way. True, this luxury is hidden under the dome.
4. Chips
Another roof, but with a platform foropen-air concerts and a DJ booth. On weekends, it's a favorite spot for well-heeled Moscow party-goers, and on weekdays, it's a pleasant venue with the Bolshoi Theater and central stores right under your feet. Lots of wood and incredibly comfortable chairs — just right for a break from shopping. Everything is clear about the cuisine, too — it's Arkady Novikov's restaurant.
5. Strelka Bar
Large wooden veranda with a wonderful view ofThe Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Moscow River, but what is even more valuable is the courtyard of the Strelka Institute of Architecture and Design. You can spy on the most interesting events with a glass of wine in your hands. The interior is worthy of a separate description, but the fateful meeting in one space of Art Deco and the 70s is worth seeing with your own eyes.
6. "Elarji"
Best place for summer lunch with kids:you will still be able to relax yourself. The spacious terrace, zoned for the convenience of guests, has enough space for a playground with squirrels, rabbits and goats. Everything else we usually expect from a Georgian courtyard - soft chairs, smiling staff, incredible regional cuisine and a long wine list - is also in place.
7. "White Veranda"
For a complete fusion with nature - to the Botanical GardenMSU Garden. Sitting among the snow-white painted furniture and immersed in the intoxicating aroma of plant and kitchen exotics, you won’t immediately understand whether you are at a foreign resort or at Chekhov’s dacha. In any case, an elegantly relaxed atmosphere of white trousers and straw hats is guaranteed.
8. Cafe Pushkin
From Anton Pavlovich's veranda - to the roofto Alexander Sergeevich! The young ladies and gentlemen of the capital know the "Pushkin Café" well, but its summer terrace is less known. And in vain. There is the same luxury of a noble estate and the same intricate menu from an inventive chef, similar to the recipe of Molokhovets and an entry in an old album at the same time. Only in flowers and in the fresh air - especially for gracious sovereigns.
9. "Veranda 32.05"
More intimate, but also much more crowdedThe veranda is hidden in the Hermitage Garden. On Sundays, there are puppet shows and master classes for children. The official phone number offers to reserve not only a table, but also an umbrella with a swing. The tables and chairs of an old-fashioned dacha look are painted in the colors of the non-existent May 32 - a kind and cozy fairy tale for busy mothers with naughty offspring, as well as for fathers, family friends and all passers-by. And if there are not enough seats, you can always grab a glass of wine and go to the bench, extending the veranda into the depths of the garden.
10. William's
Fans of gastronomic tours and good foodFarm food lovers know very well that there is no veranda there — there is simply no room for it. And yet it is there. That is why gourmets and regulars book tables in advance by the front windows on Malaya Bronnaya. They open them wide, and the tables are moved towards the street. If you miss Milan or Paris, not so much in the gastronomic sense as in the emotional one, try to “steal” a place on this modest veranda from regular customers. You will like it. And don’t forget to look inside, to see the open red kitchen, where miracles happen every night. Not every theater will offer you something like this.
11. Pier
Let's finish our journey at the "Prichal".The famous Rublevskaya veranda offers summer recreation in its classic sense: a river, a pool, sun loungers, cocktails of all the colors of the rainbow and the delights of a barbecue with a smokehouse. The beach season, by the way, is already open. In case of a sudden summer shower, everything is also provided for - the veranda with wicker Indonesian furniture is draped with real sails. And, of course, the famous Prichalovskaya floating gazebo-tent is a summer bestseller for romantic evenings.
Our opinion:— Whichever veranda you choose, it is worth remembering the simple rules of restaurant dining in the open air. On clear warm evenings and on weekends, a table on the terraces of most central restaurants should be booked in advance. If the place is famous for its good cuisine, then a couple of days in advance. Otherwise, you risk waiting a long time or sitting in the aisle. On hot and sunny days, try to stay closer to the ground and avoid “glass boxes” on roofs, even with beautiful views — you will not be comfortable among glass and concrete. Do not take small children to verandas built directly by the water and on landing stages — you will not be able to sit quietly. There are now enough places in Moscow where even a kindergarten will help you entertain yourself. And we have mentioned two of them. turandot-palace.ru uilliams.ru novikovgroup.ru barstrelka.com tapadecomida.ru
