L'elephant

«L'elephant» is a concept restaurant of Russian-French cuisine located next to the Kazan Kremlin, at 2A/4 Kremlyovskaya Street. The venue is built on the idea of Francophilia—the fascination with French gastronomy and culture that was characteristic of pre-revolutionary Russia. It is this image that defines both the menu and the design of the space. The restaurant has two halls, each with its own character. One recreates the atmosphere of 19th-century Russian noble houses—restrained and homely. The other is built on French charm—light and elegant. This combination allows guests to feel the dialogue between two cultures that was once part of Russian noble life. The cuisine combines Russian, French, and European traditions. A special place in the menu is given to Parisian breakfasts—they emphasize the gastronomic theme of the venue and become a logical continuation of its concept. «L'elephant» will suit those who are interested in the history of Russian-French cultural ties and want to see how this theme is revealed through the interior and cuisine in the very center of Kazan, just steps from the Kremlin.
