True Meat

«True Meat» on Kievskaya Street, 5, is a meat restaurant with an open kitchen and its own dry-aging chamber. Here they prepare premium steaks and beefsteaks from Black Angus marbled beef, grilling them in a hosper oven, put together juicy burgers, and serve offal dishes — beef tails, smoked diaphragm. The wagyu steak deserves special attention: the meat from a Japanese cow is marinated with garlic and rosemary, grilled in the hosper, and dramatically doused with flaming cognac right at the table. The kitchen is run by brand chef Antony Bogdanov, a member of the Chief Team chefs' guild. Gastronomic breakfasts at «True Meat» are served all day, and at lunchtime people come here for business lunches. Live music plays in the dining room on Saturdays, and festivals, tastings, and gastronomic dinners are held regularly. The average check is 3,000–6,000 rubles; the restaurant operates in the Bernoulli business center, near the Frunzenskaya and Moskovskiye Vorota metro stations. The gastro-holding that owns «True Meat» also runs another project — the gastrobar True Crab on Petrogradsky Island, where, under the guidance of the same brand chef, they prepare king crab dishes with an emphasis on Mediterranean cuisine.
