In the very center of the Russian capital, on the ground floor of the famous Ukraina Hotel, there is a fashionable restaurant - BIGGIE restaurant. It opened in November 2015 and to this day remains one of the most popular establishments in Moscow.
The owner of Biggie is Kirill Gusev, who heads the Restaurant Syndicate (he managed the Beefbar Junior institution that was previously located here).
Interior
Restaurant Biggie (Moscow) is located on two tiers of the first floor of the hotel. Its interior can truly be considered exclusive, because nowhere else in Moscow can such a combination of bright colors with classical elements be found. Here, a massive staircase leading to the upper tier immediately catches the eye of visitors. The walls, floors and ceilings are made in gray tones, but this seemingly gloomy range is diluted with bright sofas in the halls, in the style of which ethnic motifs are clearly visible. Many interior details are made of expensive wood. A huge crystal chandelier with wrought-iron elements flaunts on the ceiling, which gives the room a share of luxury. In the evening, taking a table at one of the large panoramic windows, you can observe a magnificent view of the evening Kutuzovsky Prospekt.
In the warm season (from May to early September) the restaurant has a summer terrace where visitors can dine al fresco. It is decorated in the same style as the main hall, there is also a lot of furniture with bright complex ornaments. In addition, a large amount of greenery, which is located in flowerpots, gives the interior a touch of summer freshness.
Kitchen
Biggie is a restaurant whose menu consists of dishes of Russian and European cuisine. There are a lot of signature dishes that are personally invented by the restaurant’s chef - Ilya Blagoveshchensky. The cuisine of this establishment is distinguished by the originality of its concept.
It serves delicious veal liver in combination with an amazing sweet cream made from carrots. One of the specialties is donuts with a layer of suluguni cheese stuffed with duck hearts - this menu item is very satisfying and quite high-calorie, which should be paid special attention to all those who follow their figure. Zander with smoked milk is originally cooked here, and there is also a signature version of mackerel marinade with potato cream, antonovka and Crimean onion. Halibut with cucumbers and liquid potatoes is no less tasty here; guests like this dish very much. Meat lovers will be satisfied by tasting a chicken with carrots and an egg, which is served with wheat. It is worth noting that before cooking this dish, its main ingredients (wheat and chicken) are carefully soaked in kvass for about a week.
The restaurant menu does not do without desserts either - here anyone can surprise a sweet tooth with a delicious honey cake, which is very original served - with fragrant honey and honeycombs. Small pieces of panna cotta are added to this dessert, and a cream is used for the layer.
Any dish present in the restaurant’s menu has an original bright taste that is remembered for a long time.
For foreign tourists, the institution has a separate menu in English.
Service
