As you know, in Moscow there are many cafes, bars, restaurants , pubs and other similar institutions, but there are very few worthy places where you can try delicious dishes. Onion Cafe (Bolshaya Nikitskaya) is a rather interesting restaurant, which is worth paying attention to. Let's discuss the institution itself, reviews about it, its work schedule, menu and much more!
Description
When you go to the “Luk Cafe” (Bolshaya Nikitskaya), reviews of which we will discuss a bit later in the same article, you will immediately see how perfectly the wooden finish with the brick walls blends in. The beauty of the interior is emphasized by a beautiful wooden stove located right in the center of the main hall. It is also worth noting shelves in almost all areas of the restaurant, where there are a variety of vases and pots.
Dishes are served exclusively in Belgian dishes, which also to some extent complement the interior. Well, in order for you to feel as if you are at home, the administration of the institution allows guests to listen to beautiful and pleasant lounge music. A somewhat dim light also complements the interior.
