The restaurant based on "Alice in Wonderland" is a project of Alexander Donskoy, the man who created the whole entertaining empire. Under his leadership, there are 86 museums, attractions, as well as cafes operating in Barcelona and eight Russian cities. At the opening of the Moscow "fabulous" restaurant, star guests attended, and their characters from the Lewis Carroll novel - Rabbit, Hatter, several queens, etc. met them. Visitors were served by waitresses in the image of Alice.
The most important task - cutting the red ribbon - was entrusted to the most popular tele blonde, Olga Buzova.
How to find
If in a fairy tale about Alice, in order to find himself in a magical land, you had to follow a white rabbit, then in Moscow it is enough to get to the metro station Smolenskaya or Arbatskaya. When leaving the metro, turn right and after a few meters go down to the underpass and follow straight ahead. Having ascended the stairs, turn left and go diagonally to Arbat Street. Walk about 500 meters and you will see a "fabulous" sign.
The address of the institution "Alice in Wonderland" (restaurant): Moscow, Arbat 22/2, building 1.
Follow the rabbit

If your answer was yes, get ready for disappointment. The fabulous restaurant "Alice in Wonderland" consists entirely of optical illusions and, of course, Carroll characters.
At the entrance, it becomes a little scary - and suddenly, behind the door is a really rabbit hole, beyond which there is complete unknown ...
The tale begins
For a second you freeze, think: “Be what happens” and take a step. It seems that this is really a rabbit hole, but it does not lead to childhood, but to sweet memories, where the pain from broken knees is no longer felt, and the mood after an argument with relatives is in order.
Restaurant "Alice in Wonderland" in Moscow will remind you that our world is full of colors, secrets and amazing stories. And the amazing appearance of the characters during their stay in the institution will make you forget about the serious faces of the capital's inhabitants.
Interior
It is not known who was involved in interior decoration, but the result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the imagination of the designers of the establishment, the table-dial, the floor in the form of a chessboard, the images on the walls of Carroll characters, playing cards on the waitresses' aprons - all these details worked out to the smallest detail create a cozy and magical atmosphere. Therefore, the restaurant "Alice in Wonderland" in Moscow won the hearts of metropolitan residents, guests, and most importantly, secured a constant influx of visitors.
The design is reminiscent of a children's dream in bright color. At the entrance you will be met by a painfully familiar mysterious smile. Guess whose? Of course, Cheshire Cat. It is with him that the fairy tale begins, and continues already in the hall itself.
Here you can sit in the palm of the storyteller, on a cozy flower bud, in the arms of pink flamingos and even make an appointment under the clock in the form of a lantern.
Along the way, while waiting for the order, talk with the White Rabbit, who will freely discuss with you the outcome of the card game with the Queen herself. Especially lucky visitors can get acquainted with the same Caterpillar.

On the interior, the magic does not end, because the real fairy tale is enclosed in the dishes of the establishment. And it’s not even the frenzy of Caesar salad, but the way it is served.

Positive reviews
Fans of the fairy tale of the same name appreciated the restaurant "Alice in Wonderland" in Moscow. They were impressed by the gallant rabbit who greets visitors at the entrance, a fabulous image of girls in costumes of the white Queen and Queen of Hearts, the uniform of waiters, where the guys are Hatter and the girls are Alice. Special attention was paid to the menu of the institution. Salad "On the contrary" surprised many with its strange combination, cream of mushroom soup was surprisingly tasty, and fish with potato balls captivated visitors with its delicate taste.
Children liked chocolate chess pieces, where one half is made of dark chocolate and the other is made of airy white. In the piggy bank of advantages should also include the service of a photographer who, in addition to photos, offers to purchase magnets.
Negative reviews
What did Alice in Wonderland not please (restaurant, Moscow)? Reviews from dissatisfied visitors are more relevant to service. Many guests of the establishment were disappointed that sometimes the order should be accepted for about half an hour, and the dishes are ready for up to 40 minutes.
Disappointing reviews were left about the servings. According to visitors, the cost of dishes does not match the size of some dishes. It was also noted that some desserts listed on the institution's website are simply not on the menu.
The last drawback was related to the musical arrangement. Guests of "Alice in Wonderland" were dissatisfied not only with the repertoire (mainly club, which does not harmonize with the style of the restaurant), but also with the volume, which is deafening.
Despite the presence of negative comments about the institution, the place is a must for visiting, creative relaxation and just a good pastime for both children and parents.
