Moscow restaurant White Rabbit entered thetwenty best restaurants in the world in the rating of The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2016, taking 18th place. This is the most impressive result for Moscow in the entire history of the competition since 2002. To get an idea of the prestige of this rating, it can be said that getting into it is as important for restaurateurs as an Oscar for an actor, and winning is no less prestigious than a Michelin star. Such success was achieved thanks to the coordinated work of the project's team of professionals and chef Vladimir Mukhin. An important role in the success of White Rabbit was played by the unique atmosphere of the panoramic restaurant, the interior of which was designed by the Moscow bureau ARCHPOINT under the leadership of Valery Lizunov.
The restaurant was opened in 2011.It is located on the 16th floor of the Smolensky Passage shopping and business complex. The total area of White Rabbit is 850 square meters, which is not bad for a "rabbit hole". Game The theme of "game" became the key to the concept. The restaurant's interior is made in the style of theatrical art deco and is inspired by images from Lewis Carroll's fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". The game with the guest begins in the hall: large portraits of a family of rabbits hang on the walls, which are reflected in mirror panels.
The interior of the restaurant halls usespopular design techniques in an unusual combination. For example, the carriage coupler on the ceiling is made of simple unpainted linen fabric. Spectacular cast-iron columns in the style of the 19th century decorate the lower hall. The steps of the staircase are offset along the axis. The faded and "damaged" painting is reminiscent of the design of Florentine castles. Shabby carpets bring the atmosphere of an old house.
The lower hall houses a vintage gastrobar. All sorts of “delicious” shows and culinary master classes are held here.
The top floor is panoramic.The furniture arrangement is thought out in such a way that guests can have a good view of Moscow. In the center is a high three-meter fireplace portal. The furniture is unusually brightly colored, which does not allow you to leave the fairy tale, and the bar counter, made from real books, perfectly supports the overall idea of the establishment.
In 2016, the White Rabbit restaurant won 18place in the prestigious rating, thanks to the efforts of architects: Ekaterina Ageeva, Valery Lizunov, Sergey Bryukhanov and Denis Katorov. We will wait for new victories and nominees.
