Morskoy

The restaurant's building has a history of its own. It was built in the 1950s, and a restaurant of the same name opened there right away — Morskoy is its successor.

Part of that history has been preserved: the fountain with a girl and a fish was restored and became one of the space's central features.

Inside the restaurant are two lavish rooms. The main room's interior evokes an undersea kingdom: the chandeliers resemble seaweed, and the furniture's flowing curves suggest waves. Large panoramic windows look out onto the marina and yachts, and the white columns carry sculptural patterns. Art objects shaped like giant jellyfish complete the space. The second room is more intimate, resembling a ship's wardroom. The restaurant also has a huge view terrace for the warmer months.

Chef Ilya Zakharov runs Morskoy's kitchen, and he's steered the menu toward two geographic directions: West and East. For fans of Asian cuisine there's a section of sashimi, sushi, and classic and original rolls. Among the European dishes are tartares, shrimp carpaccio with asparagus, vitello tonnato, and octopus with mashed potato and chorizo. There's also a raw bar with fresh seafood: oysters, caviar, crab. The cocktail list includes both classic and original drinks.
