The long weekend is approaching, which means it’s time to take out your best clothes and make exciting plans. There are many exciting events taking place in Moscow that will attract your attention. Despite the cloudy weather, autumn is the most beautiful time of the year. Therefore, we recommend that you take a walk on the streets of the capital. We’ll tell you where the best dishes and interesting new items are.
You’ll also find places where metropolitan brunches, markets, exhibitions and other great events take place in our roundup. We hope you still have the strength to leave home after workdays. So open your calendar and take notes.
Party at the House of Culture
This week, working on Monday is replaced by Saturday, but this is not a reason to be upset and give up on this day. Have some fun after work. For example, go to Blanc where a big party is planned “Hangov3r Castle” in honor of Halloween. A costume ball, cult horror movie screenings, themed treats and a market are waiting for you. Thomas Mraz, LeTai, Baby19 are responsible for the sound of the music! et al.

Russian specialty at Rizz
A new restaurant, “Parable”, focusing on contemporary Russian cuisine, will soon open on Smolenskaya Square. Meanwhile, while we wait for the launch of the project, we plan to check out Rizz, which chef Nikita Saprunov has specially prepared, inspired by Russian holidays and fairy tale traditions. We’ve previously highlighted the venison tartare, the kulbyaka with salmon fillet, and the spelled risotto with boiled venison. We can’t refuse pancakes with red caviar.

Seasonal menu at Shota
Caucasian cuisine restaurant Shota has developed an autumn menu with pumpkin. We think this is a great reason not to cook at home on the weekend.

Dinner from the chef in Paphos restaurant

It will offer a special menu consisting of dishes prepared according to the traditions of the Aegean coast. Try the sea radish tartare with citrus sauce and basil, the lamb ribs with herb bread crust and smoked eggplant, and much more.

Weekend in Marble
Bistro Marble is back with an updated philosophy in the interior, menu and even food presentation. Celebrity Australian chef Jonathan Curtis (Near East and Mr Lee) is in charge of the kitchen. With a comfort food concept, he thought of every detail on the menu: Black Angus beef tartare with bun, scallop crudo with pear and asparagus, tender chicken liver pâté with juniper berry glaze.
Inspired by 1930s America, the interior creates a cozy atmosphere. It combines soft golden light, geometric Art Deco lines, luxurious armchairs and mirrors as if you were in the frame of an old movie.

Truffle at Alpaca Bar in November
You can spend your evening in a relaxing atmosphere at the bar, where special cocktails and delicious meals are served. For example, in Alpaca, where truffle season begins.

I would also like to highlight a bold experiment: a cocktail with truffle paste.

Menu update in Leo
While wandering around central Moscow in search of snacks, stop by Leo’s, where the menu has been revamped.

A great addition would be a large green salad with Greek yogurt dressing, pickled jalapeno, and cilantro.

A classic Turkish breakfast includes a set of fresh vegetables and cheese, smoked beef, olives and white cherry jam on a large copper tray. You can also order menemen with tomatoes and red onions, pancakes with caramel syrup or other dishes.
