By the total number of Chinese restaurants, the capital of Russia is noticeably behind compared to others: there are about 20 of them in Moscow in total, and this is very small for a metropolis. Why? There are many reasons for this. The main one is the lack of Chinatown. But even those that have either cheap eateries that are famous for their unsanitary conditions, or too expensive establishments, often mixing all Asian tastes and styles.
Features
Chinese restaurants in Moscow have gained popularity due to the fact that they are associated with high-quality fast food. Here you do not need to book a table in advance or wear your best suit, because anyone can go in and make an order. According to tradition, the number of dishes should be equal to the number of people and plus 1 additional portion.
Little trick
Visiting Chinese restaurants in Moscow is preferable to large companies, so it will be cheaper. Dishes are served on large plates, and each person can choose a piece he likes. If you do not master such large portions, they will definitely pack them with you, since in the Celestial Empire it is indecent to leave food on a plate. All Chinese restaurants in Moscow follow these traditions .
Menu
In order to somehow orient yourself in a wide range of dishes, you need to at least understand a little about the culinary preferences of the main provinces:
- Southern cuisine prefers piquancy;
- Northern one has a spicy taste;
- Eastern based on sweets;
- Western worships meat.
Chinese restaurants in Moscow for banquets always serve tortoise soup or shark fins, but do not think that this is the main pride of the Celestial cuisine. As the locals say: any dish in this country can be prepared anywhere in the world, the main thing is to have a frying pan, knife and a sufficiently high fire at hand.
Maybe very soon this cuisine will overtake the Japanese, but until this happens, Chinese restaurants in Moscow are offered to your attention, which will not disappoint you with their dishes and service.
"Tan"
This Chinese restaurant is located in the center of Moscow at Oruzheyny Lane, 13/1 and is considered one of the best. Knowing many of the secrets of cooking traditional Chinese cuisine, the restaurant chefs not only repeat the original taste, but also successfully add their own corrections to it.
How is this Chinese restaurant different from others ? Moscow does not like monotony and boredom, so the space includes a spa and karaoke. The design of the Tan restaurant combines traditional motifs and modern solutions. Each piece of furniture is located according to the teachings of Feng Shui. The windows are decorated with light curtains, the ceiling surprises with its blue color scheme, and the walls are painted with abstract drawings.
The restaurant’s cuisine is striking in its mystery and originality. Here you can try and compare dishes of each province of the Middle Kingdom. You can also order a tea show, which in the process turns into a spectacular acrobatic show. And the last fact that will delight new visitors: the entire Tan complex (restaurant, karaoke and spa) is open around the clock.
China Dream
What can be said about this Chinese restaurant Moscow is famous for its Rublevsky highway, it is at the intersection with Kutuzovsky Prospekt that the China Dream establishment is located. This place is for those who love the Celestial cuisine, but do not want to enjoy it in ordinary eateries. Here they prefer to hold "special events" some of the richest guests of the capital from China.
The interior of the institution is the work of the Beijing agency Haimon, against the backdrop of similar institutions is considered an example of luxurious minimalism.
The first five pages of the menu show banquet dishes that must be ordered at least 2 days in advance. The pride of Chinese cuisine is soups, they are served in small dishes, like a bowl. The average bill for one dinner with a glass of wine is about 2000 rubles.
Most visited and best
There is a restaurant "Chinese letter" in Moscow on Sretenka street, 1. The menu of the institution is based on Cantonese cuisine, which is popular outside of China, but unknown to residents of Moscow. The peculiarity is the minimal use of sauces and cooking time.
Often people become hostages to patterns and stereotypes. Not everyone knows the differences between an ordinary and high-quality Chinese restaurant, and to make sure that a new restaurant does not become second-rate in the restaurant business is a whole art.
In this regard, the residents of the capital were very lucky, because they can get to know the real high-quality Chinese cuisine without leaving Moscow. If you are poorly oriented in the metropolis and often turn to the help of the card, then most likely you will simply pass by the Chinese Literacy restaurant, as it is very well hidden from the bustle of the big city. But even if you find it, doubts will be caused by the inscription "Bar and Food" under the name of the institution. The question immediately arises about how the bar and the celestial cuisine are connected?
Having crossed the threshold of the "Chinese Certificate", you will immediately forget the main purpose of the visit and want to examine in more detail the unusual interior of each hall.
The restaurant's menu, in addition to the Peking duck, has many other dishes. The chef of the restaurant is a true professional in his field, as he was able to give traditional Chinese food a modern style of decoration and presentation. And for a dim sum there is a separate chef who prepares them not only deliciously, but also offers different options for toppings.
So, dear ones, if you want to really enjoy the high level of service and the harmonious combination of unknown products with popular sauces, then you urgently need to visit any of the above institutions.
