Summer Menu at AVA Bistro.

The summer menu update at AVA Bistro on Nikitskaya focuses on simple, recognizable flavors with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Chanterelles play the leading role in the seasonal lineup — the chefs use them in a pizza that's easy to share with friends or the whole family. It's one of those dishes where the taste of childhood and the convenience of a city format come together in one recipe. Chanterelle pizza here isn't just a nod to the season — it's a way to set the mood for a shared summer meal.

For those who prefer hearty, warm dishes that recall dacha evenings, there's fried potato with onion, mushrooms, and herbs. Simple food becomes a reason to recall summer vacations without leaving the city. The dish carries not just a gastronomic message but an emotional one — a return to the basic flavors known since childhood. These items on the menu balance out lighter, more refined offerings like pasta and truffle risotto, suited to those dreaming of southern Europe and travels around Italy.

Special attention at AVA Bistro goes to the morning hours. Breakfast is served from 9 a.m. to noon, with an emphasis on fruit and berries. The menu includes a mango tart and baskets with cream and berries — strawberry, cherry, and blueberry. This selection lets you start the day with something light, bright, and rich in vitamins. Breakfast at AVA Bistro is a chance to set the mood for the whole day, especially when the weather outside isn't cooperating.

Chefs Artyom Losev and Vitaly Istomin have done everything to make the seasonal dishes suit guests with different preferences. The menu is aimed both at those who come for breakfast before a workday and those who choose the restaurant for an unhurried family dinner. Every dish is a flavor easy to recognize and fall for again, especially in summer.
