The historical center of Moscow… A cozy courtyard on Novaya Square… Sergey Yesenin read his poems in this place. A century later, a restaurant named after the hooligan poet opened here.

History of establishment

The Yesenin restaurant in Moscow was opened on October 29, 2015. The place was not chosen by chance, because it was here that the poet-lyricist liked to visit, equally emotionally describing both the beauty of "Birch Rus" and the customs of Moscow's tavern.

The initiators of the opening were Elizaveta Tuchnina and Andreas - the promoter of many famous cultural institutions in Moscow, including the Rai club. The menu concept was created by chef Konstantin Ivlev, who prefers traditional Russian recipes.

Restaurant interior

The interior is a nice mix of modern design and traditional Russian symbols without a hint of Khokhloma and other hackneyed trappings used in most Russian style restaurants.

The Yesenin restaurant, the photo of which you will find in this article, has several floors. On the ground floor there is a bright large hall (for 120 people) with huge panoramic windows, divided into two zones (for smokers and non-smokers). Hereyou will be surprised by huge chandeliers in the form of springs, pearl walls, aged mirrors, sky-blue chairs and columns, complemented by original design ideas.

Also, you will definitely like real birch branches in front of the entrance to the institution. Along the walls you will see the poems of Yesenin himself, which are in transparent vases. The wine rack at the entrance will grab your attention. Agree, everything here is stylish and without any frills.

Open kitchen with a powerful hood sparkles with dishes, you can watch the cooking process. The bar counter surrounds the kitchen.

The festively decorated halls become special: garlands of cones, flowers hanging from chandeliers, and incredibly beautiful candles that light up on the windows in the late afternoon.

A pleasant discovery for visitors will be the library hall located on the basement floor, the shelves of which are filled with works of the "silver" age of Russian literature. The library has comfortable sofas, and behind one of the cabinets is the Duncan Bar, named after the famous dancer and poet's wife.

In a word, the Yesenin restaurant (Moscow) is one of those places where you don't want to leave!

Menu

A distinctive feature of the cafe is the orientation of the main menu towards traditional Russian cuisine in a modern interpretation. Chef Konstantin Ivlev (founder of New Russian Cuisine) creates true works of art by seasoning Russian dishes with ideas from other cultures.

Unusual combinations of components of ordinary dishes allow you to create a special flavor palette. Veal tongue salad seasoned with an original author's sauce, chopped bull-calf fillet with roasted ciabatta slices, mini-squids with sea buckthorn sauce, chinook salmon with spinach and birch sap sauce will delight lovers of Russian cuisine and will not leave indifferent the most demanding gourmet.

Pies, pickles, pickled mushrooms and chef's eggplant caviar are served as snacks for vodka. A wide selection of desserts will please everyone! Here you can order the Anna Pavlova cake, beetroot jelly with vanilla cream and oatmeal cookies, charlotte with ice cream, Ivlev’s author’s honey cake, unusual homemade cherry jam, feijoa, wild berries and pineapple, and much more.

And of course, the restaurant, named after a Russian peasant who loves to spree, has a wide wine and bar list.

Visitors

The interior allows you to combine seemingly incompatible qualities: the restaurant is equally well suited for both aesthetes who prefer to sit in a relaxed atmosphere over a cup of coffee with a volume of poetry accompanied by pleasant soft music, and for lovers of noisy fun. On Friday evenings, you can plunge into the atmosphere of the “tavern Moscow” and listen to real gypsy songs to the accompaniment of accordion and guitar. Bright outfits of the gypsy team, groovy songs and dances will allow you to spend an unforgettable evening.

The menu will delight those who are tired of unpronounceableoverseas titles. An evening of this kind will be remembered by foreign guests who will have an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with Russian cuisine in a pleasant European way.
