Chiho
Noodles do the talking
Chiho, which means “glutton” in Chinese, was
designed by St. Petersburg architect Yevgeniya
Uzhegova and its interior is covered with Chinatown-style
graffiti. Warning - the chef comes
from China’s Shandong province and doesn’t
speak a word of English or Russian. You can’t go
wrong choosing one of the four types of noodles
(glass, soba, udon or rice) with beef, chicken,
shrimp or veggies, from 290 rubles ($5).
Palisander Gallery
Hip new exhibition space
New gallery Palisander opened its doors last weekend at Tryokhgornaya Manufaktura, a former textile plant that’s recently become a magnet for hip Muscovites. The gallery is located in a 19th-century workshop reconstructed by the architectural bureau Wowhaus, known for its work on Strelka Institute and Krymskaya Naberezhnaya. The gallery is also planning an educational program with lectures and workshops.
Beef Royal
Smoking is still in fashion
Beef Royal is a new restaurant by Alexander
Sorkin, best known for his Motel and Mendeleev
bars. Apart from traditional meat fare (steaks,
ribs, the works), there’s pastrami, khinkali
(dumplings) with Black Angus beef for 650
rubles ($11.30) and grilled fish (turbot for 2,200
rubles). Some of the dishes are cooked at low
temperatures and then smoked using special
wood for fragrancy (apple, cherry or maple).
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
