Sparks Home Kitchen

«Sparks Home Kitchen» is located in Novosibirsk at 8 Ilyicha Street and serves mixed cuisine in an open-kitchen format: the chefs work right in the dining room and chat with guests while cooking. The interior is assembled from various details and objects, and the veranda has a lounge area with lanterns, poufs, and a small lawn nearby. The menu features meat, vegetable, and cheese appetizers, soups, sandwiches, waffles, hot dishes, and desserts, with around five items in each category. Some dishes stay on the menu regardless of the season: shrimp and snow crab croquettes with potato-carrot purée, tuna tartare with raspberries, and pasta served in a wheel of Grana Padano cheese. Three new dishes are added every month. Drinks include tea, coffee, infused spirits, cocktails, a small selection of hard liquor, and a wine list of over 30 options. The average check is 1,000 to 3,000 rubles. Besides the main menu, the restaurant periodically holds meat and fish markets, for which spots get taken quickly, so it's worth watching the schedule and booking in advance.
