REMY Kitchen Bakery

REMY Kitchen Bakery has opened its first southern-Russia location, becoming part of the premium sanatorium complex "Kristall" in Khosta. The space brings together gastronomy, health care and a seaside-getaway atmosphere. The restaurant is part of Alexander Oganezov's group, which oversees dining across the entire complex, including the buffet restaurant, the lobby bar, and the phyto-bar. A balanced-nutrition system has been set up here, with the option to customize a menu around a dietitian's recommendations.

The atmosphere feels like a home, built for calm breakfasts and long evenings overlooking greenery and the sea.

The design is by Evgenia Uzhegova's studio Livingnow. The architecture is built around the image of a childhood dream — a treehouse. The space is filled with flowing forms and soft transitions of light, creating a sense of seclusion and warmth. The finishes use wood, stone, natural fabrics and ceramics. The inner room is decorated with checkered tablecloths, light curtains, sculptural Isamu Noguchi floor lamps, and Fredericia armchairs with canvas seats. The bakery's display cases are visible from the room, and paintings by contemporary artists — Igor Novikov, Ivan Plyushch and Minna Chicherina — will soon appear on the walls.

The kitchen is run by Ruslan Polyakov. The concept combines a restaurant and a bakery, where dishes are cooked and served while bread is baked, all at once. The menu is built on European classics with Italian, French, Greek and Asian touches. The main dishes are cooked on a Josper grill, giving them the aroma of live fire. Among them: pizza, pasta, meat and fish dishes, light salads and vegetable appetizers. At the entrance, guests are greeted by a display case of fresh pastries: French croissants, berry tartlets, choux pastries, and naturally leavened bread baked in hearth ovens.
