Breakfast Festival at Atlantica.

Restaurant Atlantica is taking part in the BreakFest festival, offering a special breakfast menu from July 1 to 31. It will be served daily from 9 a.m. to noon. Venues from various Russian cities take part in this gastronomic project, presenting original takes on morning dishes. Atlantica is no exception, including several interesting items on its menu that can suit both those who prefer hearty breakfasts and those watching what they eat.

One of the most notable dishes is an eclair with trout roe. It's not a dessert but a full-fledged, hearty starter with a bold flavor. The eclair is served with homemade guacamole and cream cheese filling, topped with a generous portion of roe. This breakfast may appeal to those who love unusual combinations and want to start the day with a dish that looks like it's from a celebration menu.

For those who prefer something more classic, there's a large cheese pancake. It's made from farmhouse curd cheese and served with three kinds of toppings: Nutella, blueberry condensed milk, and fresh berries. This dish stays within the familiar morning format, but thanks to its presentation and rich flavors, it can become the highlight of breakfast.

Buckwheat with king oyster mushrooms, hazelnuts, and black truffle is one of the most interesting examples of how simple ingredients can be assembled into a full-fledged gastronomic dish. Chef Pavel Tarasov prepares the porridge in a modern way, adding mushrooms with a dense texture and a light sweetness. King oyster mushrooms are often called Asian porcini, and combined with truffle they give the dish a complex, rich flavor.

For those who follow a plant-based diet or simply prefer light dishes, the menu includes a green bowl. It contains avocado, zucchini, edamame, asparagus, baby spinach, soy sprouts, and chia seeds. This bowl can stand in for a full breakfast or suit those who want to start the day with vegetables and healthy fats.

The BreakFest festival is a way to try new breakfasts and see how modern restaurants approach the morning menu. At Atlantica, traditional formats like cheese pancakes and porridge have been combined in a single offering with an original perspective and quality ingredients.
