Babel

«Babel» brings the taste of Odessa to Smolenskaya — with its grandmother's recipes, fresh ingredients, and a special attention to every ingredient. Here they make red borscht with veal brisket, serve oysters, a baked beet salad with goat cheese, and a large platter for two. The kitchen combines Russian, Ukrainian, and European traditions with signature touches. The restaurant occupies three floors: the first floor houses a banquet hall, the second has VIP rooms, and the third is a winter garden. This layout suits a family dinner, a business meeting, or a festive banquet alike. A VIP room can be booked directly on the restaurant's website. «Babel» has its own pastry shop, and for holidays they make kulich weighing 400 and 800 grams, as well as tvorog paskha (a curd Easter dessert). The restaurant is located in 1st Nikoloshchepovsky Lane, with the entrance from 1st Smolensky Lane, near the Smolenskaya metro station. The average check is between 3,000 and 6,000 rubles.
