Moscow is one of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world, where people from different countries come every day to get a well-paid job, go to a certain educational institution or just have a great weekend. The infrastructure of the capital of the Russian Federation is well developed, almost every day new restaurants and similar establishments open that have a unique interior, excellent cuisine and a chic atmosphere. By the way, if you ever happen to visit Munich (the capital of Bavaria), pay attention to how identical and completely non-creative cafes are there - everything is completely different than in Moscow.
Moscow restaurant of author cuisine “Let's go” - this is the topic of our article. Today we will give a brief overview of this project and discuss its menu, find out the exact address and much more. Believe me, here you will find something that will truly surprise you!
basic information
“Let's go” - a restaurant with a unique atmosphere and high quality of service, which appeared on the gastronomic map of the Russian capital not so long ago, and was soon closed. This institution was designed for 60 people, and it was located in the old center of Moscow - on Petrovka (30th house). Here you could taste dishes of Russian, but not quite classic cuisine. At the same time, special food was available to order for children, as well as vegetarians and diabetics.
By the way, one of the founders of this project was the famous culinary specialist of Russia - Elena Chekalova, who opened “Let's Go” (restaurant) in October 2014. In addition, to date, the co-owner of this cafe, Alexander Orlov, is the owner of a large number of culinary establishments in different cities and countries of the world: Rybka, Benvenuto, Ishak, Yellow Sea (Kiev, Ukraine), as well as several interesting projects in Dubai.
Unfortunately, “Let's Go” (restaurant) was closed, and not so long ago - on May 1, 2016. Today we will touch upon this topic and find out what nevertheless became the reason for such a decision by Elena Chekalova and her partners.
Project concept
Not so long ago, everyone called this cafe new and ideal, because only in “Let's Go” (restaurant, Moscow) one could plunge into real gastronomic travels. The menu of this project presented many unique dishes developed by Elena and her husband Leonid. In addition, also on the menu you could find culinary masterpieces prepared according to the recipes of the most famous chefs in the world, but in a slightly different interpretation - more Russian.
Of course, the main menu also featured classic dishes of our cuisine: boiled potatoes, various pickles, fish soup, okroshka and the like, which were also in great demand at “Let's Go” (restaurant, Moscow).
A bit about the founder of the project
As you know, Elena Chekalova is one of the most experienced culinary specialists in our country. It turns out that she first received the education of a philologist, and then - and a journalist. Of course, this helps a woman to constantly publish interesting articles in various Russian magazines, as well as on her own website.
In addition, Chekalova got to television, becoming an excellent leading column "There is happiness!" Good morning program. It is also worth noting that she publishes the books “World Cuisine” and “Eat”, and Chekalova’s restaurant “Let's Go” had some dishes on the menu, recipes of which you can still find in the editorial offices of her best-selling books.

Menu
Today, few people know that the ingredients for the dishes of the projects, including the Let's Go Restaurant on Petrovka, which, unfortunately, no longer works, Elena and her husband were grown in their own summer house. There they built a small eco-farm where they raised rabbits, turkeys, chickens, quail, vegetables, herbs and much more in order to be completely sure of the quality of the products for preparing the dishes presented on the menu of each of the restaurants.
By the way, when “Let's Go” was still working, many customers recommended ordering specialties from Elena Chekalova, such as rabbit bombs, Golden Apple tomato, burger stuffed with pike and cod liver, Bouillabaisse soup with crayfish and more similar products, and their prices were reasonably reasonable.
Restaurant “Let's go”, reviews of which we will discuss a little lower, also had an excellent wine list from the famous company Simple, as well as a menu of cocktails and soft drinks, compiled by Maxim Ivashenko himself, the owner of several Moscow bars recognized as the best in the capital .
Why was the project closed?
The sad news about the end of the restaurant "Let's Go" residents of Moscow learned from the social network Facebook, where Elena Chekalova wrote that the institution will be open until May 1. Many wanted to know what caused this decision. The woman said that there were several reasons for making such a decision. Chekalova also noted that she is very grateful to her partners (Denis Gusev and Alexander Orlov) for the work done, and even more to all the people who came to eat at the Let's Go Restaurant.
The closure of this project was a shock for residents of the capital. In the last days of the restaurant, breathtaking discounts were made for almost all drinks and dishes. For example, a glass of sparkling wine cost only 160 rubles, which by Moscow standards is a trifle.
Elena also noted that in the near future she hopes to reopen a similar project, having worked well on the mistakes in managing this restaurant. It is possible that in 2017, a woman will still open her cafe, but so far there is no official information about this.
Reviews
“Let's go” I worked a little more than a year and a half, but during this period I received a large number of positive reviews. The guests of the establishment liked the service and quality of the food. The prices in some situations were somewhat overpriced, but the taste of the food served by the waiters was worth it. By the way, the interior of the restaurant was quite interesting (photos are presented in this article), which was also very popular with visitors. Many are very sorry that the institution was closed. I would like to see something similar open in the near future.
