A lot of cities in the CIS countries have a restaurant "Chistye Prudy" on the ponds. If in the settlement there is a body of water loved by the population, then with a high probability it can be argued that it will be called "Clean Prudy". Firstly, this is true, and secondly, the name caresses the ear.

Common name

How much is connected with the eponymous central microdistrict of the capital - films and songs, poems and works of art. There is a Chistye Prudy restaurant on the ponds in Astana, Simferopol, Donetsk, Moscow, it is also a very beautiful cafe in St. Petersburg, which I want to talk about separately.

On the shore of real ponds in the historical district of the northern capital of Kupchino, along Dimitrovka Street, there is a homely cafe of the same name, whose visitors, while waiting for an order, can even go fishing - trout is found in the pond. After the catch, it will be cooked according tovisitor's prescription. In addition, you can dive into the bottom of the pond in a submarine and observe the life of the underwater world. The banquet hall of Chistye Prudy in St. Petersburg can accommodate 100 people. Wooden cabins are scattered along the shore of the reservoir, where you can retire.

Subtle differences

If earlier a cafe differed from a restaurant in the speed of service, then, given the various show programs offered by the Chistye Prudy restaurant on ponds in Kupchino, fishing, visiting the river bottom and live music that sounds here from Thursday to Sunday, the establishment can hardly be called a cafe. Nowadays, the line between restaurants and cafes is becoming less and less distinguishable - cafes have both waiters and VIP rooms, and cooking takes longer, because the dishes are mostly delicious. At its core, the Chistye Prudy restaurant should be located on the ponds. And the submarine, the very presence of which is due only to the presence of a reservoir, gives the restaurant in Kupchino a very pleasant atmosphere.

The face of a restaurant is its chef

Themselves Chistye Prudy in Moscow are strewn with restaurants - "Shater" and "Yaposha", "Lagman House" and "At the Pokrovsky Gates", the tram-tavern "Annushka" and "Avocado". With such a quantity, each institution wants to have its own zest, to stand out with something, to offer something more preferable. Therefore, the restaurant "Happiness" at Chistye Prudy, which opened in December 2011, focused on talent and skill. This is the sixth project of chef Dmitry Reshetnikov. Based on my thesis onscientific approach to the combination of products and cooking technology, he rethought the homemade recipes of Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant "Happiness" on Chistye Prudy is the author's project of the Global Point Family group of companies, and D. Reshetnikov is its brand chef.

What is a brand chef

This profession is not taught anywhere, but one article says that a brand chef is a cook, a chemist, a psychologist, an overseer, an accountant, a merchandiser - all rolled into one. And he is also responsible for the final design of the dishes. The confectionery delights of the Happiness restaurant are very popular in Moscow - the most unusual tastes of chocolates, homemade milk toffee, homemade cookies and cakes. At the opening of the restaurant, guests were served a 15-kg luxurious Tiramisu cake. There are gourmet jams and homemade preserves, candied fruits and fruits prepared according to special recipes of the pastry chef. All this can be packed and taken with you. The interior of the restaurant is designed in joyful colors - white leather, light wood and everywhere the personification of happiness - angels. There are many quotes about happiness on various surfaces. The restaurant certainly has its own identity.

Oriental tale

Other similar establishments have it, making Chistye Prudy attractive. The restaurant on the water is called "Shater", recognized by the ratings of 2003 as the most exquisite summer veranda in Moscow. To the credit of this institution: there is a constant monitoring of the condition of the water in the pond and its regular cleaning and cleaning. Famous restaurateurs R. Rozhnikovsky and I. Bukharovcreated a unique project that embodies the East. Neither the interior nor the cuisine represent any particular eastern country. Everything that is connected in human understanding with this part of the world is present here - carved benches and chests, pillows and bright carpets, fish in the water, swans on the water. Each season, the interior is updated with new beads, draperies, spider lamps, characteristic plants and other oriental attributes. "Shater" works around the clock and is good at any time. The cuisine is able to satisfy the most sophisticated taste - Chinese, Japanese, European.

It is famous for its democratic lunches held with12:00 to 16:00 - “baked eggplant salad with s alted mushrooms, green nettle and sorrel soup, stewed duck in sweet tkemali and compote for 500 rubles.” Opened in December 2010 in Krivokolenny Lane, the restaurant meets all modern requirements.

A characteristic feature is a large open kitchen, the dimensions of which made it possible to install a real Georgian Tone oven, in which real Shoti bread is baked. All the staff of the establishment are Georgians.

Calm sophistication

Nostalzhi restaurant at Chistye Prudy deserves special mention because it is the only one of the above establishments located in a historic building built in 1928, which is one of the few surviving monuments representing late constructivism, the Soviet avant-garde method in art in the 1920s and 1930s. Naturally, the style of the building could not but be reflected in its interior decoration, mixed with the "Stalinist" style and art deco (decorative art - the name of the French exhibition in 1925). The restaurant has become an elite one and entered the top ten most sophisticated establishments in the capital, united by the ilovecafe network, which is called the territory of fashionable food. These restaurants have different types of cuisines - Chinese, mixed, European, etc. What unites all the establishments of the network is always only high-quality, tasty and fresh food.
