At the beginning of Maslenitsa week, Kommersant Style talks about the places where you should go for the most unusual variations of a traditional Russian dish.

The restaurant on Bolshaya Dmitrovka celebrates Maslenitsa with a special pancake menu. So, Chef Alexei Volkov offers wheat pancakes with red caviar and whipped sour cream, pancakes with duck confit, mushrooms and Parmesan mousse. There are also dessert options: pancakes suzette, which are caramelized in spiced orange syrup and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as well as a tiramisu-inspired pancake cake – a large stack of thin pancakes fried in caramel oil, with mascarpone-based cream and coffee with almonds. aroma of Italian amaretto liqueur.

During the Maslenitsa week, the brand chef of the restaurant, Kirill Berger, introduces everyone to the following types of pancakes: with three types of caviar and butter cream, with meat, foie gras and sour cream, with mushrooms and cheese espuma, with salmon and guacamole. For dessert, they serve matcha pancake cake and Crepe Suzette with apples, orange sauce and homemade sundae.

The Greeks

The restaurant celebrates Apokries, or Maslenitsa in Greek. Chef Nikita Brekhov combines Greek and Russian traditions: a large portion of meat that every Greek must eat on the Tsiknopemti holiday, which marks the climax of Apokries, is moussaka with minced beef and lamb and marinated eggplant, wrapped in a thin pancake. Those who have not decided to give up meat are fed champignon pancakes with feta sauce and crispy mushroom chips. There is also a Greek-style crepe suzette from Alena Ofitserova – these are thin pancakes in a sauce with red oranges, feta cream and caramelized olives. Pancakes are served here from 10.00 to 14.00 – as if hinting at their far from dietary nature.

Magadan

The week at the restaurant began with Maslenitsa, which is held together with Natura Siberica. From February 20 to February 26, at four Moscow restaurants of the Magadan chain, you can order pancakes with black caviar from a special menu and receive a day cream based on black caviar and platinum as a gift and a 30% discount on the Royal Caviar collection, which will be on sale from March 20 . These “limited” pancakes will be served not only for the whole Shrovetide week, but also further, until March 12th.
