Girls only: 10 places to hang out with your girlfriends

Autumn is already turning gray-brown (not golden like Pushkin), the temperature drops, the evening comes without time to finish work, you want to wrap yourself in a blanket, cry for the “Vacation of Change”, collect wreaths and bouquets of yellow maple leaves.

Even The Fashion Vibes columnist Anya Baturina got into a melancholic-romantic mood and put together a number of places where you can relax with your friends.

And if you don’t always have time for bachelorette parties, then now has come. We have no doubt that there will be enough discussion topics for 10 meetings (there are as many restaurants to choose from). You should hurry and introduce the tradition of meeting with a female company once or twice a week, so that you have time to get everything done, at least before the end of the year.

As in the game “Mafia”: the male population of the city “falls asleep”, the female one wakes up, gets dressed and goes to the party. We only live once!

1870 Abrau-Durso Wine and Food

The wine house’s flagship restaurant is a great place to start understanding and love Russian wines and stop being upset that New Zealand Sauvignon is considered a luxury item and is no longer imported to us. “Abrau” is in the Black Sea cuisine. For wine you should get scallop carpaccio, mini (not whole) pasties with rapana meat, triple pates and snails with garlic and herbs. But choosing wine for snacks or vice versa – choose yourself, but any of your decisions will be supported by a sommelier. Wine prices in the restaurant are very pleasant – a glass from 280 rubles, a bottle from 600.

Address: st. Arbat 45/24

Do not touch

Larisa Mamedova and Chef Taras Kiriyenko’s wine bar has an extensive wine list and an updated menu. Other words seem redundant, but we will continue. This season, the menu includes French gastronomy, Italian elegance and a little bit of Asian exoticism. On the same table you can have Italian gnocchi and Chinese gravy (both dishes with mushrooms), beef patties with lettuce, and butcher’s steak with zucchini.

When it comes to wine, all positions have been considered and verified, you can sit comfortably in a private wine and book room and pair food to wine and not vice versa. This approach is not surprising here.

Address: Rochdelskaya street, 15, building 22

wine skills

If you don’t live or study in Skolkovo, you won’t accidentally stumble upon this restaurant and wine conference room (an ideal combination). But the journey is worth it. Firstly, the landscape outside the window is reminiscent of the suburbs of London, secondly, the talent and character of the chef Yevgeny Tsyganov is famously revealed here, and thirdly, you can drink wisely. The program of the wine conference room is ambitious by the end of the year – you just need to choose the date and topic of the lesson. And if you’re one of those who always waits for a sign of fate, look carefully at your number, it says the name of the wine worth trying (everyone is different).

The boutique in the restaurant collects the rarest and finest bottles, from young experimental winemakers to classic reputable houses.

Address: Skolkovo, st. New house 100, building 5

rocky 2

A new restaurant by Anton Pinsky, Alexander Sorkin and Vladimir Chistyakov on the first Rocky site. Of course, the reference to the Stallone movies isn’t just in your head, it’s supplemented with a boxing glove-shaped dessert on the menu.

In Rocky 2, the kitchen is run by a new and very young teen sex symbol (sorry, Vova Chistyakov, no more declarations of love to you) Alexei Volkov. The menu literally has a mix of Italy and Panasia in one dish (itameshi, that’s what it’s called), for example, seafood fritto misto with tom kha sauce, octopus with miso cream and tomatoes. As for wine, there is a live international map. White – a worthy choice of Germany and Austria, France and Italy. Red – in proven old world classics, Australia, Argentina and even Israel.

Address: st. Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 10с4

bijou

A small bar with French cuisine in Belorusskaya, known for its cocktails (a sorrel tincture is worth something), but do not underestimate the classic combination of French dishes with wine – tartars, snails, pates, fried Camembert (pieces in an unusual serving), not a whole disc ). The wine list here is small, but fully in keeping with the concept: the labels are exclusively from France and each bottle can be tasted.

But oxalic tincture can finish the evening (or thanks to it, from talking with girlfriends to dancing).

Address: 2. Brestskaya street, 39 building 3

Probka on Tsvetnoy

At Probka on Tsvetnoy you can toast to meet the new brand chef, Italian Simone Gobbi. You may know him from OVO, Vadvare and GES-2 restaurants – he was a chef in the latter, but even more interesting if not.

Address: Tsvetnoy Boulevard, 2

beluga

It’s not the most obvious place to drink wine (given the restaurant has a whole vodka menu), but why not meet up with your girlfriends overlooking Red Square and spend the evening in the luxury of white tablecloths and black caviar? Don’t underestimate the Beluga wine list!

Also, no other reason to come – updates to the menu. For example, tomato raspberry tart and pink salmon caviar ice cream (this dish can break the brain a little), rice scallops, pumpkin sauce and chamomile mousse.

Address: st. Mokhovaya, 15/1, building 1

“Arrow”

Everyone knows and loves Strelka with its already legendary classic cocktails and new combinations from head bartender Alexandra Churilova. But few people know that in parallel with the launch of autumn cocktails, wine specialties appeared in the bar. During the cold season, once a month, friends and bar crew compile and update their selection of their favorite wines. The general manager of the bar, Alexandra Selivanova, was the first to mention her favorites.

There’s also food news: Strelka recently launched a new menu from brand chef Anton Abrezov. It includes, among other things, unimaginably delicious snacks with seasonal ingredients and a structureless carrot cake.

Address: Bersenevskaya embankment, 14/5

Wine Bazaar

“Wine Bazaar” on Kuznetsky Most – a place created for drinking wine at any time of the day (they will open no earlier than from 12 o’clock). For those who don’t want to wait until Friday to discuss the latest gossip and dates, there’s a new relaxed Tuesday meeting format. Swinging with special prices and room atmosphere for Evgenia Kachalova’s favorite wines, the founder of the Bazar Family, a different selection is made every week on Tuesdays.

But behind every label there is always an interesting story the sommeliers will tell, and for every order from a special selection there is a postcard with Evgenia’s recommendations and a qr code for the “secret” chat of the Bazaar guests.

Address: st. Kuznetsky Most, 19 buildings 1

i like wine

I like wine for a glass of wine every day and in any composition, Evgenia Levshitskaya, co-founder of the Perelman People holding, sometimes holds meetings of her own “women’s club”, always reports about them in her social networks and in the telegram “Perelman Restaurants”. You can meet beautiful girls, cuddle together, laugh or cry (it’s not so easy to control emotions now) and take loads of great pictures. So stay tuned for announcements.
