Excellent place for cozy evening
As least one time per year we’re visiting this awesome place. Here you can find everything: very tasty food, delicious cocktails, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.
There is a regular menu and the gastronomical set, which is updated every year. Actually, we’ve tried here 4 sets (through the years, they update them every year) and every one was special and very interesting. This time we also chose set and it was extremely perfect! The whole set has one common idea of different sides of Nordic cuisine. It consisted of suitable starter, different hot dishes and wonderful dessert as a finish. Of course, we couldn’t resist to our desire to start our evening with a gravlax from the main menu - it definitely worth your attention.
Signature cocktails are very interesting - every one reflects the whole concept of the place. Stones, pine and wood, fire - these ingredients help with the serving :) looks and tastes very good.
I also want to highlight that there is a very very attentive staff. Guys can help you with a choice and can tell you a lot of information about every dish.
Highly recommend!

It’s great a experience if you know what to expect! I took the 7-course tasting menu. The dishes are beautifully presented, there is a great variety in taste, colors and texture. Some of the dishes I could have easily eaten more of, thereas others I would rather put in the category of „interesting taste experience“. Not for everyone but a must visit for foodies.

Good food, but overall experience ruined by lousy service.
Food: 4 stars -really inventive cuisine
Strawberry ice - interesting combination, but chewy rough rhubarb shavings ruined it
Venison tartare - amazing
Muksun smorebroad - a little bland, probably due to baked celery
Finish soup - very good
Veal cheeks - very good
Lamb in nettle - very creative, but the meat was a little bland

Service: 2 stars
From the very beginning our waiter had an attitude: " You will not understand the menu without my help" or "Better try it next time, there's no doubt you will be back".  But the real hit was after we finished our meal.  Instead of offering us a desert menu - he asked in the rudest possible manner "Want anything else?" It really sounded like he couldn't wait for us to leave.
So, no, we will not be back.

Nice place with friendly English speaking staff. The food is amazing and we enjoyed our lunch a lot. We especially like the desert “Last year’s Apple”. Highly recommended.

I'm blown away by this place. Thr interior and the service is really good but the main attraction is food and it's presentation. Everything is fresh, tasty and each dish combines several flavors.

I tried their bread & butter that comes for free. It's perfectly crunchy, salty and whipped butter is easy to spread.

After that I ate a duck pate with crispy fried onion bits. Pate is very delicate and smooth while onion bits provide a crunchy kick.

The main dish was elk steak with roasted beets and berry sauce. It was my first time trying elk steak and I must say it's delicious. A bit hard to cut but very flavorful especially with the sauce.

Totally recommend to check it out if you are visiting Moscow.
