Frantsuza Bistrot

A French restaurant by the Duoband team — Dmitry Blinov and Renat Malikov. Chef Ivan Frolukhin, nicknamed "the Frenchman," boldly reworks traditional cuisine, offering, alongside the classics, original dishes: fennel-and-asparagus crudo with goat-cheese cream, scallops Grenoble, brie with truffle. The bar menu has 15 by-the-glass wines from different regions of France, including a Rouge du Jour, the wine of the day (not listed on the menu — just ask the waitstaff!).

Plating and service use flawless faience tableware by the French brand Gien, rarely found in Russia.

The interior is styled after a classic French bistro: Alexey Penyuk (Studio APPA) placed bentwood chairs and rows of round brown lampshades against a backdrop of marble and patinated mirrors.
