The name “Drunk Eclair” sounds a bit funny for the establishment. What is hidden behind it - a bar or a candy store, for what reason is it worth going into? Read about this in the article.
Concept
This establishment combines two formats: a gastrobar and a cafe-pastry shop. If there are no questions about the “cafe-confectionery” format, it is quite clear what can be expected from it, then what is a gastrobar?
This is really quite a new and unusual direction in the restaurant business. First of all, it is a bar with a variety of delicious food. If you compare with a regular drinking establishment, the difference lies in the menu. The bar usually has a small selection of dishes, limited to light and fairly monotonous snacks.
The idea to complement the bar menu with gourmet food first came to the minds of the owners of the establishment in the UK in 1990. Russia picked up the idea only in the mid-2000s. Since then, gastrobars are slowly spreading throughout the country. "Drunk Eclair" is one of them.
However, here the owners went even further. The disadvantage of a regular gastrobar is that the choice of desserts in it is extremely meager. Therefore, it was decided to add the format of a cafe-confectionery. As a result of such a mixture, an almost universal institution emerged that will appeal to a variety of guests, including children.
Interior
The cafe has two rooms. One is called the White Hall. Its decor is associated with French Provence. Delicate, creamy shade of the walls, floor and ceiling. As a decoration, there are numerous framed photographs, lamps in the form of candlesticks with candles, tables with carved legs, and even a little white bicycle with a wicker basket hanging on the wall. The atmosphere is a little doll-like, slightly candy, cozy, touching. Complementing the atmosphere is soft, warm light.
The second room is called "Blue." The atmosphere is typical for a pub. Dark color of the walls, wooden furniture, mirror wall, dim light. As decoration - portraits of the Beatles group, Vysotsky's records. Stylish, strict, nothing more. Fans love to gather in this room, because here you can watch sports broadcasts.
Two halls - two different worlds, contrast and contradiction. Thanks to this, the cafe becomes a universal place for meetings of various formats: for lunch with children or a family dinner, for a business meeting at a business lunch, for a fun evening with friends or a romantic one and a half. It is also good to drop in to drink a cup of coffee and relax a bit.
The cafe also offers banquet services for any special occasion. Themed holidays are held here, they periodically gather to play board games.
Dishes and drinks
The menu includes dishes of European cuisine, French and Russian, and author's. Juicy steaks with baked potatoes and young vegetables for a side dish, dishes of fish and poultry, vegetables, light original snacks and a variety of salads. Dishes are distinguished by their exquisite serving and excellent taste, even in a business lunch. For example, a salad with chicken liver and blackcurrant sauce. For those who are vegetarian, a separate menu has been developed.
The cafe has a large selection of desserts that receive very high ratings from guests and good reviews. Eclairs are especially noted, which taste like homemade ones.
In the bar card - a wide variety of beer, strong alcohol and cocktails, there are soft drinks, tea and coffee.
Pricing is affordable and democratic, which makes visiting the institution even more enjoyable.
