European Cuisine, Moscow

Life in Moscow has such a mad rhythm, that at times there is no bearing it. You want to switch off your mobile phone and relax in some quiet and a bit mysterious place. For this purpose you do not have to leave the city for the province. In Myasnitskaya Street – one of the most hectic central streets of the capital – there is an ancient mansion housing 'Bochonok' (The Keg) – a small restaurant of European, Caucasian and Mediterranean cuisines.
You go downstairs under low vaults and find yourself among grapevine, big-bellied bottles, tiny lamps, clay jugs and home utensils. There are picturesque wall paintings and author's stained-glass windows; the floor is partly transparent, so that visitors, like in a good museum, can see an ancient chest, utensils and a mysterious door leading into the dungeons. Brick ceiling of ancient laying and a show-window with strange carved keys add to the mystery. In the small hall with upholstered furniture, people smoke hookah, drink wine, couples and small friendly companies have dinner, while the bigger hall is more convenient for banquets and family celebrations.

Dishes at 'Bochonok' are so attractive that you get carried away when you are looking at it: Chef decorates salads and main dishes with butterflies and decorative pastry figures. On the menu, there is a lot of fish and seafood: 'Tipsy Octopuses', sea scallops with cep mushrooms, 'Flying Seabass' and dorado. They also serve traditional Mediterranean soups – Minestrone, cream soup with asparagus – and European dishes from beef, pork, lamb, foie gras and duck breast fillet. 'Bochonok' offers a great choice for admirers of the Caucasian cuisine: kebabs, including khan-kebab with lamb offal. The main beverage of the restaurant is first of all wine, with a 'compliment' of an iced bottle of home Italian Limoncello. Fans of riddles will find here a very special miracle – a jug invented by Armenians in the 2nd century AD.
