Location:
The Gorki Restaurant has its superb location a few steps from Tverskaya Street, the main street of the capital that leads directly to the Kremlin and Red Square.
Interior:
Gorki’s original interior dates from the 1950s, a style known as Soviet Empire. Corinthian-style columns faced in red marble tiling dominate the entrance hall; in place of the traditional capitals there are five-pointed Soviet stars surrounded by laurel wreaths. Tables set with crisp white linen and stainless steel wine buckets give a contemporary touch, and a live jazz quartet on the stage in the far corner completes the restaurant’s atmosphere of indulgent luxury.
Capacity of the Gorki Restaurant is 100 seats in the hall and 50 seats on the balcony.
Cuisine:
Russian. The place offers traditional Russian cuisine as well as a wide range of Italian dishes. Capital’s gourmets pop into to value original recipes from home culinary collections. Hot appetizers travel from eggplant and mushroom tart to mushroom julienne, while cold starters include beef carpaccio with truffle oil and blinis with black caviar. For a main course one can choose from pastas, various fish and meat dishes such as penne arrabiatta, squid ink risotto, taglioni Gorki or beef stroganoff. Among the restaurant’s exquisite desserts creme caramel, tiramisu, semifreddo, bird’s milk cake, the Napoleon cake are worth mentioning.
