You can “gild” not only a pencil, but also any food and even drink. And it’s amazing: eating a meal containing precious metal, savoring gold. The idea appealed to restaurateurs and residents of the capital: dishes containing gold became very popular. Our selection includes a list of places where you can be sure that gold is real.
Christian
The most interesting dish in the appetizer section is the golden croissant with black caviar. According to Chef Christian Lorenzini, the idea for its creation came as sanctions began, as talks began to ban the import of black caviar and curb the gold reserve.
A real action ensues from the presentation of the food: the waiter pulls out a medium golden suitcase. The “details” include: a large gold leaf-covered croissant, a jar of black caviar, lots of butter. Then the croissant is cut in half, greased with butter and all the caviar goes there. For convenience, it is cut into several parts. This is a very popular breakfast dish: it’s really easy to fill!

AQ Kitchen
At AQ Kitchen, you’ll find another “valuable” breakfast option from 11:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and until 16:00 on weekends. These are now trendy buns in gold. An extraordinary roasted pepper and raspberry mousse is served with mascarpone-based chocolate and curd cream.
Address: st. B. Georgian, 69
Zemlya Moscow
A rare case: they decided to gild the fish in this restaurant. Edible gold is placed directly on the tuna in the form of tataki. The dish is served with sea buckthorn gel, avocado sauce and green algae oil. So if you need a goldfish to make a wish, now you know where to go!
Address: B. Savvinsky lane, 12, building 6
Loona
Artem Losev and Vitaly Istomin decided that the classic risotto, even with fresh black truffle, was too boring. And gold was also added there: it tightly covers the entire contents of the plate. You’ve probably never had a risotto like this before!
Address: Tverskoy Boulevard, 24, p. a.
avocado queen
And again, risotto, but here the “expensive-rich” effect is not just at the expense of gold. This version of risotto is made with saffron, one of the most expensive spices, and topped with delicious foie gras. The golden leaf flavor and color on this fall dish is just the finishing touch.

concert
Let’s get to the desserts. Gigi chef Nikita Ovchinnikov came up with the idea of decorating a hazelnut tart from Piedmont with gold leaf: it features hazelnut praline and hazelnut cream cheese. First take a photo, then eat!
Address: st. M. Dmitrovka, 3
Sartoria Lamberti
The situation that she is not without Philip Kirkorov – the lover of everything bright. Naira Sosedova, the pastry chef of the gastronomy workshop, made a dessert called “Tea rose is gold…” in her honor. Inspired by the first lines of Kirkorov’s song of the same name, it consists of strawberry confit, pudding as in Napoleon, caramel chocolate and lemon biscuits that the stage king loves very much. With the rose hand, the petal is combined with the petal and covered with gold leaf.
Address: st. Tverskaya, 3
Lilac pastry
In the LILA mansion in Sretenka you will immediately find a collection of golden candies. This is the “Bell” – a dessert with salted caramel, praline cream, almond biscuits and vanilla mousse decorated with white chocolate and gold dust.
Another is the Hazelnut Coffee Roll with hazelnut biscuits, coffee cream, hazelnut and almond praline and ganache coffee. And everyone’s favorite, the ganache stuffed with red berries, whipped with mascarpone and meringue, has now become quite valuable.
Address: st. Sretenka, 22/1, building 1
on the hunt
Smetannik, covered with a gold plate on Ava, you probably saw more than once on social networks – this is one of the most popular desserts in the restaurant. We recommend taking it with a gilded cocktail – the sparkling Superstar Spritz Ava. Double value.
Address: st. M. Bronnaya, 21/13, p.2
Lumicino
Heading cocktail Lumicino, in addition pear vodka and liqueurs, as they say in the restaurant, contain a philosophical component: we meet many people in our lives, and we do not always immediately see their essence. To do this, you need to add fire, as in the case of a cocktail: the paper that hides the drink is set on fire, and under it, real gold in hibiscus and vanilla foam! An opportunity not only to drink, but also to think.
Address: st. B. Nikitskaya, 58
maroon
Based on gin, liqueur and saffron tincture, the Tabriz cocktail has a pleasant mild acidity due to grapefruit and lemon juice. Edible gold gives the drink a special gorgeous look. It is one of the popular cocktails of this restaurant – you should try it too.
