Beyond

The name "Beyond" – translating to "more than something" or "beyond the limits" – sets the conceptual foundation. On one hand, the gastro-bistro offers familiar and recognizable values, while on the other hand, it imbues them with new meanings. Whether it's coffee, it's made with carefully selected beans; whether it's desserts, they are homemade. This philosophy – to offer guests more than they can imagine – is reflected in every detail.

The interior design is eclectic, incorporating elements of minimalism, pop art, and constructivism. The dominant colors are natural tones, with textures of white and graphite. The walls feature designer concrete tiles, while the open kitchen has a biomorphic shape and is finished in chrome. Napkin holders and trays are made from recycled plastic, and accent lighting comes in the form of lampshades made from translucent materials and blocks of colored acrylic. Each detail has its own character, and together they create a dynamic and airy space. Upon entering, a gray display case, reminiscent of ultra-modern Asian design, greets visitors, along with trees in hand-painted planters and a console dessert display – the focal point of the space, drawing the eye.

The menu, created by chef Alexander Skupov (also known as "Zhirok"), features dishes in the style of Moscow neo-classicism. Appetizers include beef tartare with Parmesan mousse or a vegetable "healthy" bowl with a choice of protein: pastrami, shrimp, or smoked salmon. Soups include a simple but delicious mushroom soup or a seafood soup based on tomato bisque. Main courses are diverse, offering something for everyone: pasta arrabiata with stracciatella, grilled salmon with broccoli and ber-blanc sauce, or roasted chicken with herbs. For those seeking comfort food, there's a special "junk food" section with a pastrami hot dog and a signature burger. From 10:00 AM, Beyond offers breakfast, including various egg dishes, cereals, pastries, and healthy options, including avocado toast on artisanal bread. A children's menu features healthy snacks like cottage cheese pancakes and blini for breakfast, chicken soup and mini-dumplings for lunch or dinner.

The dessert menu, created by pastry chef Yulia Ankudina (ProfiTrolly), includes both à la carte desserts and items displayed in the showcase. Guests can try "Pavlova," a "Cappuccino" dessert, tarts and cakes reimagined for the modern palate, and boxed chocolates made from French chocolate, perfect for taking home as gifts for friends, family, or colleagues. The dessert menu emphasizes the use of seasonal ingredients, with new items appearing regularly – for example, in the fall, you might find an almond pie with apple and vanilla ice cream.

The bar menu, curated by head bartenders Anatoly Vedenko (Fresh) and Vitaly Tsay (Leveldva), focuses on coffee and tea. The specialty coffee is 100% premium Arabica, roasted in-house. The tea is sourced directly from plantations in Japan, China, and India. The creators of Beyond know the origin of every ingredient, from the farm to the table. The coffee menu includes cappuccinos, flat whites, salted caramel lattes, and espresso tonics. The tea selection is extensive, featuring traditional pu-erh and tieguanyin, herbal infusions based on rosehips or medicinal herbs, fruit teas with yuzu and dried peach, or pineapple and ginger. Other beverages include smoothies, lemonades, milkshakes, and detox shots.

Beyond goes beyond the conventional, creating a new type of leisure experience in the shopping center. Now, after shopping, you can relax and enjoy time with loved ones, have lunch with colleagues, work on your laptop, or simply enjoy a coffee in peace. The aesthetics of the space, the attention to detail, and the relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable – that's what Beyond is all about.

The gastro-bistro plans to expand its network to different locations in the city and to launch collaborations with both Russian and international brands.
