Altro Beef Bistro

A meat restaurant by Mikhail Sokolov and Timur Dmitriev (italy&co: Joli Grand Bistrot, Juan Cantina Espanola, Salone pasta&bar) on Prospekt Medikov. The name wasn't chosen at random — "altro" translates from Italian as "other," the team's way of underscoring how the new bistro differs from the previous project on this site, the restaurant Hitch.

Classic and rare steaks, meat specialties, a raw section, and original takes on familiar dishes: BBQ wings and burgers.

The interior is by designer Yulia Surova, a graduate of the Stieglitz Academy. Inside is cozy and stylish: dusty olive walls, English-herringbone parquet, fine wood, vintage furniture, tableware and lamps, and elegant decor elements like mirrors and textiles.

The kitchen is led by talented chef and Juan Cantina Espanola star Sergey Galtsev, assisted by chef Vladimir Poltoratsky. Altro Beef Bistro's menu focuses on meat dishes, cooked in a josper and aged in a dry-aging chamber. Alongside the meat dishes are vegetable options: a green salad, romaine with a five-herb sauce, arugula with parmesan. The menu also has pizza and pasta sections. Pastry chef Ivan Bobrov handles the desserts, and Pavel Shitov leads the bar menu, which features classic cocktails and twists on them.
