The first weekend of winter is a good reason to get out of the house. The skating rinks are full, the New Year GUM fair has started its pre-holiday sales. Therefore, be sure to go to the center to get into the New Year’s spirit. The ornate facades of shops and restaurants, New Year’s trees and the smell of gingerbread on the streets fully compensate for the lack of snow. Although maybe this is better. Where else have you seen such a December – without snow and sleet?
There’s still a month of deadlines, cold walks, delicious brunches and hot drinks before the New Year. We recommend that you postpone all urgent work to Monday and enjoy the December atmosphere to the fullest.
So you have a vitality responsibility. And we have ideas on how to spend this time.

There are many options: from classic Caesar to green, without which it is difficult to imagine the life of a Muscovite. The salad is served on a branded disposable plate with a lid, the design of which was specially developed for the restaurant.
The concept is built on four pillars developed by the project nutritionist. Base – the basis of any bowl: cereals or lettuce leaves; vegetables – not a single salad can do without this ingredient; protein is the basis of satiety; meat, poultry, fish and sauces can be used to diversify the daily salad menu.
