Chapter III. The Chef's Hand

Chef's Signature Approach
Mikhail Gulyaev

“The quality and self-sufficiency of the product are paramount to us. We are based on Russian and European classics, but offer our own interpretation.”
Current culinary techniques and unexpected recipes are reinterpreted in the context of modernity – the chef's signature lies in the balance between tradition and boldness of experimentation.

Romance
by Candlelight

In the evenings, illuminated vase-lamps, candles on the tables, and live piano music create an atmosphere where you want to linger.
The Strizhi team sets the pace of the evening so that the six-course gastronomic set unfolds gradually – without haste or unnecessary pauses.
