Radio and Lila Italy – Weekend – Kommersant

“Radio”

Thin Chia Pudding

Alexei Olkoviv, founder of White Studio, Loft Design and Blanc Restaurant in Khokhlovka, is known as the new project Radio, which is located on a street in a closed compound in the local supermarket office. Bardin Research Institute Metal. It is hard to imagine a strange place for a restaurant in Moscow, with a focus on the garden and the luxury between Boulevard Rings. But Alexei Olkovoi feels like a few urban areas. The opening of the bank in a comfortable courtyard in Kitai-Gorod marked the beginning of a restaurant activity, making the venue “the second line” a major trend for young restaurant enthusiasts. This fashion has been around for three years and is clearly not declining. Leaping beyond the center, the creator of the new radio station, with a large courtyard, once again took on the storm, showing another trend. Industrial Moscow is becoming Moscow’s energy hub. They are full of consciousness, full of meaningful symbols and metaphors, and, in addition, allow you to do business with minimal restrictions because they are located outside of residential buildings. Here, the Soviet research institute became an effective marketing tool for live music and dancing for thousands or more people in a huge enclosure overlooking the dusty windows. Here you can set up a real fireplace. There is plenty of room for plants and beds for your small garden. And the amazing thing is that even during the day, there are fewer people at the table than Patrick and Bolshaya Nikitskaya. Outwardly, “Radio” is very reminiscent of Blanc, and it looks like a greenhouse with countless living plants and repetitive windows and even under a glass roof. Stylish furniture, fireplace, lots of glass and light – the look of the radio architecture is very different from the “central” restaurant – first of all, laconism and modesty. This place is not only comfortable and tidy, but at the same time deeply meaningful and not cheap at all. Building Concepts on Biodiversity Alexei Olkovoi fills his projects with clear and convincing interpretations. It is simpler with food, serves as an additive to the environment, the atmosphere and communication. Alexander Cradziv, the older brother of Blanc Chef Dmitry Karadziv, is in charge of the kitchen. The menu is packed with delicious cuisine, with no simulations or simulations. Hummus (590 rubles), like guacamole (590 rubles), served with sweet potatoes and beans. In the same dining room, tomatoes are fried and sliced ​​in Mexican Muscovado Sugar, homemade Adyghe Cheese and Shisho (790 rubles), Salmon Crudo with Ponzu and Apples (950 rubles), Scallops Tartar with strawberry and avocado (950 rubles) and. Green salad with fried egg (610 rubles). According to a large soup section, Supermetal residents regularly visit the radio during the day: chicken soup (410 rubles) and vegetable soup at Tofu (490 rubles) are the main attractions at lunchtime. For hot dishes, beef tenderloin with carrots and cauliflower puree (870 rubles), steamed sea bass with broccoli and spinach puree (1190 rubles), potato noki with scallops and pork mushrooms (1050 rubles). Delicious is a delicious banana chia pudding with strawberries (490 rubles). The rooms are small, the flavors are modest, the prices are the same as the central spaces. By the way, the radio cocktails made by Andre Shumikin’s team cost 690 rubles each, which is by no means a waste. That is, a successful project pricing policy in an ambiguous, but well-chosen location is, in fact, no different from what has been tried, and this greatly affects the business model and, in fact, supports its formation. . The emphasis on cocktails themselves lies in the modern low-alcohol style Low ABV – Cordels, Rose, Proseco, Red Vermaeus, Confucius, exotic fruits, strawberries and jasmine fragrances in a very simple and very comfortable combination.

Lila Italy

Excellent Caponata with Parma

This year, the current pop-up project on the roof of Lila is called Italy, and it cooks for Italian cuisine. Just like last year, when the throw was in Greek style, Chef Nikita Gavrilov is in charge of the food, and Régis Trigel, Lila’s brand chef, is acting as the guard. But this time, his involvement is even more visible – due to the fact that the author Lila Restaurant, which was created with a clear eye on Michelle, is now restarting, most of his team, like most suppliers of the most selected products, turned around. It should be on the roof of Lila Italy, so the food and service level here has increased compared to last summer. As a result, under the active control of the French brand chef, Lila Italy became a delicious little Italian menu with a simple and clear layout, elegantly executed in French. Eggplant Caponata with Rose Ribbon with Parma ham and boiled egg (690 rubles), artichoke fresh figs and parmesan (1350 rubles), Panzanela with good tomatoes (1350 rubles) and beef tartar with humus (1290 rubles) With bottles and, of course, shared. It is interesting to note that this room also includes absolutely homemade panini with mortadella and mozzarella (990 rubles) and warm polpettes with tomato broth and herbs (790 rubles). The larger pizza section also fits perfectly with the concept of the street restaurant, here you have to pay attention to the pizza with Porcheta and Frereli (1750 rubles) – this is completely unique, and of course options with Mortadela and Stracatella (1490 rubles). ) And artichokes and gorgonzola (1550 rubles) – that is not uncommon when prices are high in Moscow. In the small but inaccessible main course, the best dorado is with sausage and tomatoes (1550 rubles) and pumpkin and sage (770 rubles) sausage, very efficient and convincing.
