The many-kilometer territories of Moscow roofs are being developed more and more by metropolitan restaurateurs, which cannot but please lovers of delicious food and high-quality rest somewhere higher. Outdoor establishments are especially in demand in the summer, and this year it turned out to be hot. What kind of "heavenly" cafes and bars can please its residents and visitors to Moscow? The rooftop restaurant can be found today for almost every taste, color and size. The price tag also varies, but there are still no frankly cheap establishments in this segment, but there are plenty of “defiantly” expensive ones. But from this the demand for them does not decrease, and the number of visitors does not decrease, but only grows. What to do - Moscow loves a luxurious life. Our review will tell you where to find it.
Restaurants in Kalina bar
Reviews about this place have not heard unless lazy. Anyone who has visited it at least once will remember for a long time the impressions received here - a dizzying climb to the 21st floor in a glass high-speed elevator, an incredible view of Moscow (opening from a bird's eye view), an unsurpassed cuisine and an impressive map of alcoholic drinks. The general atmosphere and mood at Kalina Bar are exquisite classics and servile service during the day, drive and fun, a sense of pulse and energy of life at night. It is impossible to remain indifferent to this fashionable and truly lively establishment. One of the best projects that Moscow boasts this summer.
The rooftop restaurant is divided into several zones - the main hall with many comfortable sofas and stylish armchairs, an obligatory bar counter and a podium; karaoke zone; Moroccan room with low sofas and lots of bright pillows; two open verandas and two VIP rooms for those who need privacy. Cuisine is a fashionable mix of Italian, Japanese and truly Russian dishes in an unusual presentation and an equally amazing performance. The menu is regularly updated and "transformed" - even regulars will not get bored. The price tag is also on top - the average bill is from 2.5 thousand rubles. But it's worth it.
Restaurant White Rabbit
Institution "under the dome" (as in the novel by Stephen King) in the truest sense of the word. The restaurant is located on the 16th floor of the Smolensky Passage under a glass domed roof, which provides a stunning panoramic view of the capital. A 360-degree view allows visitors to the White Rabbit to admire not only the Kremlin, but also to see the Moscow City skyscrapers and the Foreign Ministry building. It is especially pleasant to meet sunrises and see off sunsets in this place - a spectacle of indescribable beauty. Late (or early) visitors are very pleased that they will even offer you breakfast here at such hours (from three nights to six in the morning), when many other places are still “sleeping”.
Special attention should be paid to Russian cuisine from the famous chef Mukhin, whom the "gastronomic Moscow" knows well. The rooftop restaurant White Rabbit offers, of course, French dishes and culinary hits from other countries. Exclusive alcoholic cocktails should not be ignored either. The interior is pleasant to the eyes - nothing distracts from the most important thing - an excellent view of the capital in all its glory. There is everything to have a good time, eat and relax.
Loft: restaurant, reviews
A completely different concept, interior, and atmosphere is presented by a tiny institution located in the bay window of the shopping complex - Loft. This is an open area-balcony with a bewitching view of the Lubyanka and sometimes a gentle wind, impudently "walking" between the tables of the guests. For this reason, tablecloths are fastened with clothespins, and it is better to monitor and press something heavy with napkins and papers on the table. However, this small inconvenience gives only more romance and atmosphere to the place.
Comfortable easy chairs and low leather sofas, tables with openwork legs, white tablecloths and a view of a continuous stream of cars - the interior and the accompanying surroundings, as visitors note, are ideal for dates, but completely unsuitable for business negotiations. The kitchen is light and as healthy as possible, with lots of seafood, vegetables and herbs. Dishes - both Russian and international. There is a diet menu, original desserts and even a five-hour tea. An ideal place for two.
Restaurants in Stork
A three-story establishment combining a classic restaurant, a trendy cafe and a veranda with excellent views of Moscow streets and courtyards. The interior is thought out to the smallest detail in such a way as to create a pleasant atmosphere of coziness, privacy and harmony with nature - wooden tables, wicker chairs, many bright flowers in pots and a terrace surrounded by elm and lime trees. According to the estimates of those who managed to visit this institution, nothing artificial, provocative and deliberately ostentatious. Quiet calm music, birdsong and the scents of flowers make you fall out of the city bustle for a moment.
The food matches the place. Restaurant "Aist" offers visitors a fundamental menu with dishes of Mediterranean, Italian, French cuisine, as well as a mandatory Japanese section. They cook here very soundly - just as much as you need, as if painstakingly measured and calculated in advance. The wine list pleasantly surprises with both popular positions and the products of little-known small wineries. Be sure to take a bottle for dinner. The average score, however, is not so harmonious - about 3 thousand rubles.
Restaurant "Carlson"
And now we will rise again to the breathtaking height - to the 14th floor, to the Moscow City rooftop restaurant, with the saying name "Carlson". The interior itself reminds us of some Swedish fairy tale: white colors with bright accents in the form of checkered sofas, colorful plants and cans with the favorite raspberry jam of the main character with a propeller. And when a waiter appears in cute pants with suspenders, doubts about the fabulousness of the establishment disappear. It is very interesting and cozy at home, but also tasty and beautiful - this is how its restaurant is appreciated by its regulars.
The first reason you should come here is the indescribable view of Zamoskvorechye - from Kotelnicheskaya Embankment to the Kremlin. You will be offered to look at numerous sights for a tasty and hearty lunch or dinner with dishes of good Italian cuisine in its best traditions. Food, atmosphere, panorama - to say that the main thing in the restaurant is impossible. Everything here deserves attention. And the price tag is quite acceptable - an average bill of 1500-1700 rubles.
Restaurant La Terrasse
An area the size of a small football field has been given over to the rooftop restaurant Evropeisky, which is a summer playground with a light and unobtrusive interior, but elements of bourgeois luxury. Natural wicker furniture adjoins here with chic chandeliers and huge plasma screens broadcasting fashion and sports content. The cuisine is declared as European fusion flavored with "oriental accents." This mix is not surprising, because the co-founder of the restaurant is none other than rapper Timati.
The chef offers guests exquisite and highly original dishes for the sophisticated audience. According to fans of outdoor activities, music and a selection of drinks are on top here. They come here, rather, not for beautiful views, but for entertainment and fun. Party people here will feel at ease. If, of course, they can get there. There is face control at the entrance, and “auto-face control” at the parking lot, so come with a decent car. The average bill, as in most places, is about 2-2.5 thousand rubles.
Conclusion
The roofs of the capital are more and more actively used and rebuilt for restaurants and bars in the open (and not only) sky. You can easily find a place where you can relax and unwind in a pleasant environment, and a bar where you can easily recharge with fun and drive the metropolitan party, and a classic restaurant for business negotiations in the summer season, and many other options. The only thing to prepare for is the cost of the dishes. Moscow is Moscow, the rooftop restaurant here a priori has a higher price tag, and often and especially careful face control (as in the case of La Terrasse).
