After the fire of 1812, the renewed Prechistenka acquired a new look. The noble appearance, preserved for many years, continued to be present. The small industry that poured into Moscow could not squeeze between the magnificent estates. The apartment buildings that arose on the border of the 20th century did not damage the architectural style of the street, indicating the origin of its population. Repeatedly remodeled mansions are still distinguished by wealth and solemnity.
Prestigious place for a restaurant
The antique districts of Moscow are being transformed, their historical value is growing. Muscovites with awe relate to the monuments of history and culture of their city. Prechistenka is a street along which the Dolgorukovs, Potemkins, Lopukhins once walked. Several new buildings do not violate the aristocratic style of the street, a walk along which is akin to visiting a museum of architectural architecture, one of the few surviving in Moscow.
Among the esteemed estates in the basement of house 40/2, I found a place for myself, a small wine restaurant, Lifestyle, on Prechistenka, which has preserved the style of Prechistensky motifs in its interior. The courteous Israeli Oleg Waldman, the chef of the restaurant who populated the restaurant with the originality of the national Jewish cuisine, does not pass over Austrian, French, Polish and unique home-made recipes for delicious healthy dishes. Eastern European cuisine occupies a significant part of the restaurant menu.
"Lifestyle" and its originality
Of particular note is the institution's motto. It consists in the absence of any artificial additives, flavoring agents, flavorings or colorings in the prepared dishes. It is not prepared from frozen foods. Do not use absolutely no chemical additives. Visitors are confident in the origin and usefulness of vegetables and meat. Only here the client can enjoy Canadian catfish with vegetables.
"Lifestyle" (restaurant), whose address is Prechistenka Street, 40/2, is equipped with several relaxation areas for visitors, decorated in a different spirit. The influence of the chef's nationality on the institution's menu is visible with the naked eye. Israeli dishes are always laudable. However, the founders of the restaurant did not get hung up on their own kitchen. The menu is diluted with dishes of European and French recipes.
The dishes are cooked quickly, retain all the useful qualities. “Lifestyle” is a restaurant that you will immediately enjoy. Theater director K. Volgina and restaurateur Yu. Gurevich, obeying a delicate instinct, created an atmosphere of goodwill. Homeliness is conducive to relaxation and reflection.
The invariable “Did you reserve a table?”, Addressed to those who went to have breakfast, became a traditional morning greeting. On weekends, such a greeting applies until 16:00. Very convenient.
Starting a day off from work with a spicy breakfast in Lifestyle was a good sign.
Suitable for everyone
There is a corner for romantic couples who have come to the bar to sit for an intimate conversation. In a different spirit, the zone for the family couple is decorated, who wants to spend free time together. The home furnishings of the hall are conducive to family meals, which is why it is often used for feasts gathering close relatives in the same family circle. Little foodies can enjoy desserts from the children's menu. Chocolate cake and pistachio ice cream will not leave them indifferent.

Restaurant for sentimental visitors
Customers who spent time at a table near a tree of dreams, having dealt with foods, receive an invoice along with a ribbon. It serves as a reminder that the tree is waiting for the opportunity to fulfill the desire of the client. Having tied a ribbon to a tree, a satisfied and rested visitor leaves with the conviction that the desire will soon come true. And they say it comes true!
The friendly staff in Lifestyle is attentive to each visitor. When preparing the dish, all the wishes of the customer will be taken into account. A pleasant, courteous, unobtrusive doorman deserves special attention. It would seem that his role is not very important in the life of the restaurant, but this minor touch plays an important role in shaping the image of the institution as a whole.
