Patriki

«Patriki» is a French bistro on Malaya Bronnaya, just steps from Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya, and Chekhovskaya. The interior wasn't picked from catalogs: the chef personally brought the vintage cutlery, vases, and napkin holders from Paris, and it shows in the details of the dining room. The cuisine here is European, French, and author's cuisine, with no reliance on truffle, gold, or black caviar — the place has chosen a different path. For example, the sushi is made without rice, replaced by crab meat — an unusual choice for a bistro with a French character. The open kitchen sends out light appetizers, salads, grilled dishes, and mains on porcelain plates. For dessert, there's a salted caramel cheesecake with poppy seed ice cream or the Patriki lemon cake. The bar area is compact, so cocktails here are poured from bottles with pre-made mixes — quick and without any loss of quality. There's wine on the menu, and champagne is chilled in a Parisian vase right on the kitchen's marble counter. The average check at «Patriki» is 3,000–6,000 ₽, and the address is Malaya Bronnaya 21/13, building 2.
