A new chapter at Memo restaurant: meet Head Chef Pavel Grachev.

His journey spans continents and culinary worlds, from the kitchens of Sochi and St. Petersburg to restaurants in Beijing and the mountain resorts of China.

A silver medalist in the "Chef a la Russe" competition, a teacher, a gastronomy researcher, and a passionate professional, he draws inspiration from both trends and classic techniques.

His experience working abroad, particularly in China, has shaped Pavel's unique perspective: an intuitive approach and a freedom from clichés have become integral parts of his culinary philosophy.

With his arrival, Memo's cuisine is embracing a Mediterranean influence: simple yet refined, with a focus on details, textures, and the balance of flavors.

Original touches, unexpected combinations, and a reinterpretation of classics are now present in every dish.

A new gastronomic story begins here. Bright, bold, and incredibly delicious.
