The answer to this question was found with the advent of a new cozy place in the city where you can try gourmet cuisine. Suitcase is a restaurant where guests are invited to plunge into the 19th century. The main highlight, of course, is the menu. For what else visitors love this institution, we learn in the article.
History of the restaurant
In 2011, Suitcase was opened in Moscow - a restaurant with interesting Siberian cuisine. Its owner was the famous actor Oleg Menshikov and restaurateur Dmitry Stepanov. The history of the establishment is quite interesting. During the next tour, the actor visited one of the best Suitcase restaurants in Krasnoyarsk. The food of Siberian cuisine amazed the maestro so much that he decided to recreate such an institution in the heart of the capital. Negotiations with the owner of the network took quite a while, but in the end they were successful, and the Suitcase appeared. The restaurant (Moscow) differs from its twin brother in that a remark is added to the title: “Oleg Menshikov's Gastronomic Theater”. It was on art that a considerable emphasis was placed. A small stage is built in the institution, on which creative evenings and mini-performances take place.
The interior of the institution
"Suitcase" - a restaurant whose interior is antique. Here you will not find bohemian lamps and gold columns, some kind of excessive pretentiousness. Everything is done with taste. Tables were made to order by a famous furniture maker. They exactly repeat the exhibits from Amsterdam museums.
I would also like to dwell on the details that create a special atmosphere: antique watches, mirrors in chic frames, table lamps, old books, “grandmothers” crocheted lace doilies, dressers and, of course, suitcases. There are a lot of them. You will not find modern models, but old ones (leather, wooden, cloth) can be looked at for hours.
The lights in the halls are dim, sconces, lampshades with small bulbs create twilight. On each table you can see candles in antique candlesticks. The music in the restaurant is background, calm. As a rule, jazz compositions are played.
The Suitcase restaurant has several rooms. They are designed for 10 and 70 people. Some tables are fenced off with a special partition, which creates the effect of a cabin. As a rule, lovers prefer to book them.
Familiar and friends of the actor often come to the institution. Therefore, there are places indicated by plates with the names of famous people. If you are lucky, you can have dinner at your favorite table Konstantin Khabensky or Oleg Menshikov.
