"Seventh Heaven" restaurant - a revived sight of Moscow

The restaurant "The Seventh Heaven" ... Many of the people of the older generation were fortunate enough to visit it, because it was not for nothing that this institution was considered one of the best and certainly the most unusual in the capital of the Russian Federation for quite some time. For some, this pleasure is yet to come.

What is so extravagant about him? Why has the Seventh Heaven restaurant been so famous for so many years? This will be discussed in this article.

Section 1. General description

First of all, we note that Seventh Heaven is a restaurant complex located in the building of the Ostankino TV tower in Moscow. The first visitors visited here in 1967. But in 2000 a decision was taken on a large-scale restoration. Re-opening, as it became known from official sources, will be held very soon, in the summer of 2014.

Section 2. What is the restaurant "The Seventh Heaven" (Moscow)?

For today the complex occupies three floors, each of them has its name: "Bronze", "Silver" and, accordingly, "Gold". All of them are at an impressive height of 328-334 meters.

The total area of the premises is 600 square meters. The width of each room of three is two and a half meters; 80 people - the highest capacity at the level. Opening in 1967, "The Seventh Heaven" was originally a public catering organization of the USSR, considered at that time the most in demand.

It quickly became the most popular object in Moscow, however, mainly for foreign tourists and visitors of the city, who could afford to visit the restaurant "The Seventh Heaven". Prices in this institution have never been low or even average.

Ring-shaped rooms made rotations in a circle. For forty minutes, from one to two full revolutions.

The restaurant "The Seventh Heaven" worked continuously for 33 years before the fire that happened in 2000. The fire completely destroyed all the floors. For the whole period of the restaurant's work, about 10 million people visited it.

Section 3. Restoration work

Since the beginning of the reconstruction and for two years in the halls of the restaurant, a lot of work has been done to improve fire safety. Installed the newest systems of water fire extinguishing, old double-glazed windows and planking from the outside were replaced with new ones, and all metal structures were treated with special anti-fire compounds. Also completely renewed the water supply, conditioning and ventilation systems in the entire restaurant.

During the work the restaurant "The Seventh Heaven" had halls decorated in the retro style of the sixties. During the restoration, investors wanted to keep this style, having done it already with the help of new materials. But in 2005, the main company that agreed to restore the "Seventh Heaven" was "Crystal Gross" - a company that produces alcohol. The final decision was the design, in accordance with which all levels of the restaurant will now have a different purpose and design.

By the way, one can not but note the fact that now adjacent levels of Ostankino TV tower will be involved in restaurant business. It was not possible to just increase the ancillary and kitchen facilities, so most of the dishes cooked to order will be delivered from the ground floor.

Section 4. Future Plans

It is unlikely that anyone will dare to argue that after the completion of all repair work in general, the Ostankino Tower, the restaurant "The Seventh Heaven" in particular, will again become the main sights of the capital. All three halls will differ not only in design, they will have new names - "Jupiter", "Ostankino" and "Height".

The restaurant itself will turn into a real rest complex. The first hall will be rebuilt in a fast food cafe called "Height". The dominant color of the establishment will be all sorts of shades of white. However, instead of standard hamburgers, visitors will be provided with a menu of high-quality, traditional Russian baked goods. Following the world trends of the restaurant business, they will arrange a luxury room where visitors can watch how they prepare the dishes ordered by them. Those guests who order a table of a higher class, will get a unique opportunity to taste delicacies prepared by real professionals first.

The lower hall is equipped for those guests who are not averse to enjoying the panorama with the help of a telescope. An exclusive feature of the halls will also be moving floors.
