Someone in choosing a restaurant relies on the quality of the food. For some, the best place is where the helpful waiters and bartenders work. But some people appreciate the atmosphere in the restaurant, stylish design, thematic focus. There is an institution in Moscow named after the great novel of the Russian writer - Doctor Zhivago. This restaurant is saturated with the spirit of aristocracy. And it seems that the last Russian nobles once dined here. At the same time, work in the restaurant is organized in full accordance with modern trends in the restaurant business. Otherwise it can not be. After all, the author of the project is Alexander Rappoport.
Interior
The revival of Russian cuisine traditions is the main goal of the Doctor Zhivago establishment. The restaurant, however, begins with the reception, like a theater with a coat rack. Therefore, before telling about the features of the cuisine of this institution, you should pay some attention to the interior.
White and red are the colors that dominate the decor. Pictures of Malevich and Petrov-Vodkin adorn the walls of the institution "Doctor Zhivago." The restaurant in everything, from the name to the smallest details of the interior, as if proving its involvement in the great Russian culture. But unlike the noblemen of the late XIX - early XX centuries, the guests of this institution prefer jellied meat, vinaigrette and pickles to dishes of fine French cuisine, which, if performed by local chefs, seem to have survived a rebirth.
Where is Doctor Zhivago located? The restaurant (Moscow) is located in the very center of the capital - on the corner of Tverskaya and Mokhovaya. The windows overlook the Kremlin. Exact address: st. Mokhovaya, house 15, ground floor of the legendary National Hotel.
Such familiar dishes
In the majestic style, the interior of the Doctor Zhivago establishment is designed. The restaurant is a bit like a museum. Institutions previously located on the ground floor of the National were also luxurious. However, unlike its predecessors, only at first glance Doctor Zhivago may seem so impregnable and inaccessible. A restaurant whose menu offers dishes such as cabbage soup, hodgepodge, fish soup, pearl barley, Siberian dumplings and Olivier, can anyone become a stranger to a person who grew up in the post-Soviet space? But the most surprising is that the prices here are quite reasonable. Consider some items in the menu of the restaurant "Doctor Zhivago."
Prices
The cost of the well-known olivier in this institution is 370 rubles. True, this salad is called a little differently. On the menu, a traditional Soviet dish is presented as "Olivier Zhivago". A serving of vinaigrette will cost 380 rubles, but Kuban tomatoes are a part of it - a small addition from the chef. The most expensive dish from the "salads and snacks" category is the one made from carp. The cost of this primordially Russian dish is 1000 rubles. The menu also contains pancakes and pancakes, without which in Russia there was not a single feast. There are many options: with game, and with lingonberries, and with buckwheat, and with mushrooms.
The bar menu contains strong and low alcohol drinks. But do not forget that "D Zhtor Zhivago" - a restaurant of Russian cuisine. But because there is a fairly wide selection of vodka. The cost of Beluga Zolotoy is 750 rubles (50 ml). Such a large selection of the famous strong drink and such affordable prices for dishes are not, perhaps, in any institution located in the vicinity of the Kremlin.
