A lot of cities of the CIS countries have a restaurant "Clean Ponds" on ponds. If there is a pond in the village that is loved by the population, then it is likely that it will be called "Clean Ponds". First, it corresponds to reality, and secondly, the name caresses the rumor.
Common name
How many are connected with the eponymous central micro district of the capital - films and songs, poems and art works. The restaurant "Chistye Prudy" on ponds is in Astana, Simferopol, Donetsk, in Moscow, also it is a very beautiful cafe in St. Petersburg, which I want to talk about separately. On the shore of the present ponds in the historic district of the northern capital of Kupchino, along Dimitrovka Street, there is a homonymous cafe of the same name, whose visitors can even go fishing in anticipation of an order - there is trout in the pond. After the catch, it will be cooked according to the visitor's recipe. In addition, at the bottom of the pond you can immerse yourself in a submarine and observe the life of the underwater world. The banquet hall of the "Clean Ponds" of St. Petersburg accommodates 100 people. On the bank of the reservoir are scattered wooden booths, where you can retire.
The barely perceptible differences
If earlier the café differed from the restaurant with the speed of service, then, given the various show programs offered by the restaurant "Chistiye Prudy" on ponds in Kupchino, fishing, visiting the river bottom and live music, which is here from Thursday to Sunday, the establishment is difficult to call a cafe . Nowadays, the line between restaurants and cafes is becoming less and less visible - there are waiters and VIP-halls in the cafe, and cooking takes longer, because the dishes are mostly exquisite. In essence, there should be a restaurant "Chistiye Prudy" on ponds. And the submarine, the very presence of which is due only to the presence of a pond, gives the restaurant in Kupchino a very pleasant atmosphere.
The face of the restaurant is his chef
Themselves, Clean Ponds in Moscow are strewn with restaurants - "Shater" and "Japan", "Lagman House" and "Near the Pokrovsky Gates", the tram-tavern "Annushka" and "Avocado". With such a quantity, each establishment wants to have its own flavor, to stand out, offer something more preferable. Therefore, the restaurant "Happiness" on Chistye Prudy, which opened in December 2011, focused on the talent and ability. This is the sixth project of the chef Dmitry Reshetnikov. Based on his thesis on the scientific approach to the combination of products and cooking technology, he rethought homemade recipes for Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant "Happiness" on Chistye Prudy is the author's project of the group of companies Global Point Family, and D. Reshetnikov - its brand-chef.
What is the brand-chef
This profession is not taught anywhere, but one article says that the brand-chef is a cook, a chemist, a psychologist, a supervisor, an accountant, a commodity expert - all rolled into one. And he is responsible for the final design of dishes. Very popular in Moscow confectionery delights of the restaurant "Happiness" - the most unusual tastes of chocolate sweets, milk iris of own preparation, cookies for homemade recipes and cakes. At the opening of the restaurant guests were given a 15-kilogram luxury cake "Tiramisu". There are exquisite jams and homemade jam, candied and cooked according to special recipes of the confectioner's fruit. All this can be packed and carried away. The interior of the restaurant is sustained in joyful colors - white skin, light wood and everywhere the personification of happiness - angels. On many surfaces there are many quotes about happiness. The restaurant certainly has its own face.
Eastern fairy tale
It has other similar institutions that make Chistiye Prudy attractive. The restaurant on the water is called "Shater", recognized by the 2003 ratings as the most exquisite summer veranda of Moscow. To the credit of this institution: it constantly monitors the condition of the water in the pond and its regular cleaning and cleaning. Famous restaurateurs R. Rozhnikovsky and I. Bukharov created a unique project personifying the East. Neither the interior, nor the kitchen does not represent some eastern country specifically. Here everything that is connected in the human understanding with this part of the world is present - carved benches and chests, pillows and bright carpets, in the water of fish, on the water of swans. Each season, the interior is updated with new beads, draperies, spiders, characteristic plants and other oriental attributes. The "tent" works round the clock and is good at any time. The kitchen is able to satisfy the most refined taste - Chinese, Japanese, European.

The restaurant "Nostalgia" on Chistye Prudy is to be noted separately, because it is the only one of the above listed establishments, located in a historic building built in 1928, which is one of several surviving monuments representing late constructivism, the Soviet avant-garde method in art of 20-30 Years. Naturally, the style of the building could not but reflect on its interior, mixed with the "Stalinist" style and art deco (decorative art - the name of the French exhibition in 1925). The restaurant became elite and entered the top ten of the most exquisite institutions of the capital, united by a network of ilovecafe, which is called the territory of fashionable food. These restaurants have different types of cuisines - Chinese, mixed, European, etc. What unites all the establishments of the network is always only quality, tasty and fresh food.
