Secret verandas in Moscow: where to hide from prying eyes

Finally, the time came when even the grandmothers at the entrance did not look accusingly at the girls in shorts and sandals, and the dark hours between sunset and dawn gradually faded. You can walk all night, sit on the patio without a blanket, drink lemonade and light cocktails.

In the summer begins a real Italian life, not just a “little” one. This is when there’s brunch between breakfast and lunch and a snack (non-alcoholic of course) between lunch and dinner, and all the talk is reserved for pretty girls and delicious food.

But anything that happens with an aperitif on the patio in the summer will stay there forever. The Fashion Vibes columnist Anya Baturina has found the most comfortable and hidden patios where you can eat sweets (because the nutritionist certainly won’t see it) and hide from your friends on secret dates.

capito

Where else if not in an Italian restaurant to catch the sun’s rays in a glass. The patio in the Capito is located right at the entrance, but the location of the restaurant is unclear – to find it from the Belorusskaya metro station you have to cross roads and a bridge. After tasting the menu, you’ll want to speak Italian because the marinated salmon bruschetta will definitely help you forget that your new sandals rubbed your feet and you lost your favorite earring along the way.

Chef Alexander Arkhipov celebrated the restaurant’s 4th birthday and updated the menu: adding more Mediterranean flavors – several dishes with shrimp and asparagus together and separately, gazpacho with ripe tomatoes, and pastrami with tonnato sauce.

Address: 3. Yamskogo Polya, 2, bldg. 12

Delicatessen

Right on the doorstep of this bar “Thanks for finding it!” He is writing. It has been hiding in the arch in Sadovoye (between Karetny Ryad and Tsvetnoy Boulevard) for 13 years, and friendly family groups gather there every day. It’s worth going there just a few times and you’ll also shake hands with all the staff (the guys are amazing!). The veranda here is located in the courtyard of a residential building, and you do not have to worry about the extra appearance, the “family” will not give up if you respect it.

By the way, right at the entrance, as you go down the stairs, there is a surprise poster – if you toss a coin, a bottle of branded cherry bourbon will fall out of it.

Address: Sadovaya-Karetnaya street, 20, building 2

soma

Another veranda in the arch. Soma is located in the very center of the center – on Trubnaya, but to find it you need to close the boulevard in time. Although the veranda of the project is wide, it manages to maintain intimacy and comfort as if there is no one else in the world except you and those sitting at the neighboring tables.

Chef Artem Khizhnyakov recently introduced a whole section of tartlets to the menu, they are ideal for light cocktails. There are also regular parties here, so “stop by for five minutes” will most likely turn into “watch dawn” and then move on to breakfast.

Address: Petrovsky Boulevard, 14

Soul

The most secret veranda of Moscow – remember this secret and pass it on only in a whisper and only to trusted people. It is located “under the nose”, like everything that is best hidden in the Chistye Prudy area. A beautiful brick wall shields from the too bright sun, the eye rejoices in the surrounding greenery and modern sculptures, and the stomach in the incredible sugar-free cottage cheese with feta and herbs for breakfast (chef Timofey Sulima often works wonders).

Address: Krivokolenny lane, 10, building 4

Lava Pan Asian Bar

This bar is located on the territory of the “Presnya City” residential complex and is mostly familiar to local residents. If you have long wanted to get closer to the center – a great way to zoom in on your dream and take a photo for the wish card. By the way, the Zotov center is located right on the territory of the residential complex, so you can continue the secular evening with the Logos exhibition: the voice of constructivism about how constructivism shapes everything – radio, cinema, magazines, photography and books .

Address: Khodynskaya st., 2

Avalanche Chive

Chow Chow acted brilliantly – they made two patios at once. One – on Zabelina street in front of the entrance, and the second in the courtyard. It still has the same Asian vibe, only the birds on the walls and the plants there are real, not painted. By the way, the cocktail menu here has been completely updated for the summer, developed by Vasya Zheglov and made as Asian as possible.

Address: St. Zabelina, 1A

GES-2

The GES-2 restaurant should be sought from the left end of the Culture House building. In principle, if at first you get lost and enter the exhibition, this will have its own cultural plus, and after that you can discuss with your friends what you saw on the risotto with crab, tomato and lemonade.

The patio will open in mid-June, but if you find a certain table in the restaurant, you get the impression that you are already sitting on the street because of the high ceilings and windows, you can see the embankment and the bridge. . But the rain is not terrible!

Address: Bolotnaya emb., 15

Chinese letter. bar and food

For those who like to look down, there is a patio at the “Chinese Letter” in Barvikha. On the second floor of the restaurant, it rises above the shopaholic people walking from boutique to boutique with branded packages. They say that the Chinese use an outdoor canopy to relax, to accumulate “chi” energy – that’s exactly how they do it – they do not say.

Address: Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway, 8th kilometer, 114, building 2, Barvikha village
