Selfie starts with the kitchen as the theatre starts with the cloakroom. The open kitchen, the work of a well-known Italian designer Andrea Viakava, is the first thing that meets the guests. The thing that the chef was traditionally hidden to carefully protect his professional secrets became a gastronomic theatre here. The interior created by a well-known Moscow architect, Valery Lizunov, suppliers the Selfie philosophy. Large windows with a panoramic view of the Garden Ring Road, lightness and elegance of the hall filled with light, details that create the mood: the fashionable urban restaurant looks cosmopolitan. It does not require a special reason or full dress, it is equally comfortable to start the day with a cup of coffee, hold business meetings at lunch or meet the evening with a glass of champagne. The duo of two star chefs, Vladimir Mukhin and Anatoly Kazakov, meet well-known chefs in their open kitchen and acquaint guests with Russian products: pork from Kursk, halibut from Murmansk, veal from Bryansk, asparagus from Tver, truffle from the Crimea. Mukhin’s and Kazakov’s menu has a unique geography: 15 Russian regions, let alone other countries. Seasonal products, careful attitude to traditions and present-day cooking techniques are the three main principles of Selfie kitchen.
