Opening of the new KAI restaurant at Swissotel

Dymov 1

Almost every country in the world has a single restaurant that becomes an international legend. In France they have Pierre Gagnaire, Italy has Gambero Rosso, and in England there is Nobu. And now a restaurant that can stand tall with these giants of the gastronomic world will finally appear in Moscow on the second floor of the luxurious Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Moscow. Its name, Kai, means “sea” in Japanese, “triumphant” in Chinese, and “strong” in Burmese. All these adjectives are perfectly suited to the status and philosophy of this new restaurant. The kitchen will be headed by former sous-chef at Nobu in London Taras Zhelmelko and by the Swissotel’s renowned head chef Jean-Michel Hardouin-Atlan. Together they have created a menu of luxurious European cuisine with a subtle dash of Eastern flavor. After months of striving for perfection, their motto of “considered nonchalance and fantastical concepts” has led to an entirely unique menu that is sure to impress even the most refined and experienced gourmand. Eric Weiss, the internationally-acclaimed sommelier, will also be on hand to help you with your wine selection. The restaurant opens its doors in October and will soon pass into the annals of international cuisine.

Home parties have become the latest trend at the Dymov 1 restaurant! In an attempt to seek out an alternative to the gaudy and glamorous Moscow club scene, the “Golden Youth” have begun spontaneously gathering to mix alcohol and socializing at the Dymov 1 bar. These gatherings have progressed into ongoing weekly events and now host Moscow celebrities at the DJ helm, including Masha Tsigal, Oleg Nesterov, Sergey Stillavin, and Alexander Anatolievich, to name a few. This autumn promises sets from film promoter Sam Klebanov, designer Andrey Sharov, and photographer Vladimir Shirokov. An auspicious occasion, blending professional hipsters of all stripes.

New Menus at the Baltschug Kempinski

Fine Water: Now in Russia

The Baltschug’s Chef Nico Giovanoli has reinvented the traditional Sunday brunch, with a seasonal menu that promises to delight. In October and November, guests can indulge themselves in his truffle creations, while in December guests can look forward to goose. In January and February, wild duck awaits, and the temptations continue into April, with an emphasis on asparagus, and May, with a chance to sample lamb and veal dishes. And don’t forget to bring the kids, who have a special room to themselves where they’ll be entertained by toys, children’s films, art materials, clowns, and lots more. Plus a special children’s menu — and children up to 9 years old eat free.

Grocery chain Globus Gourmet is pleasing its customers again. Now you can buy the famous Japanese water Fine Water in our stores. Fine Water has a distinctive, fine taste because of its composition and its source in a water-bearing bed situated 600 meters under the Fuji volcanic range. Rainwater naturally runs slowly through hundreds of meters through hard rocks enriching itself with minerals on its way to the surface. The water is poured into an elegant “frozen” glass bottle and today is served in the world’s best restaurants and spa resorts. Gourmets all over the world appreciate its taste and quality. Try combining Fine Water with the fine taste of caviar. Now available at Globus Gourmet premium grocery store! Come! Taste! Buy! Become familiar with the world of delicacy and elegance.
