Erarta

Fine dining is making a comeback at Erarta: the Erarta restaurant-bar has opened its doors on the fourth floor of the museum.

This conceptually refined space continues the best traditions of the famous restaurant in a renewed format. The restaurant-bar team deliberately avoids focusing on the name of a specific chef or pastry chef: each culinary masterpiece is born here through an engaging creative collaboration. The project creators rightfully pay tribute to the merits of its illustrious predecessor, the Erarta restaurant. Those who missed the iconic Erarta desserts will be pleasantly surprised to find the legendary "Cosmos 2.0" and "Cubism" on the new menu. Established classics coexist with current trends: guests can expect creative cuisine, an extensive wine list, signature cocktails inspired by recognizable works from the museum's permanent collection, as well as unique GALA desserts and GALA cocktails, the presentation of which is sure to impress even the most discerning connoisseurs of vibrant gastronomic experiences.

The Erarta restaurant-bar is located in the heart of the museum space, just a step away from the permanent exhibition. The opportunity to be here is not only one of the undeniable advantages offered by a ticket to Erarta, but also an excellent reason to add another essential item to your museum visit itinerary. The establishment's concept, combining a restaurant and a bar, allows it to easily adapt to any format, whether it's a short break before exploring another exhibition, a leisurely exchange of opinions at the end of a busy tour of the museum halls, or even an engaging conversation with a member of the curatorial team: a unique new feature of the season is a series of intimate meetings with Erarta curators over dinner or tea.

The interior, with its minimalist design and carefully placed artistic accents, also serves as a reminder that you are in a space dedicated to contemporary art. Dynamic works by Brazilian photographer Gabriel Vicbold enliven the walls; his first solo exhibition in Russia was a great success at the Erarta Museum in 2022. The focal point of the restaurant-bar's decorative design is a striking kinetic chandelier, specially created for the project by multidisciplinary artist and designer Yulia Nizamutdinova, whose works can be found in the museum's permanent collection. The meticulously designed environment and inventive zoning make the space truly versatile – it will be comfortable for both those who enjoy lively discussions and those who prefer a quiet, intimate conversation. In short, another reason to continue visiting Erarta has been added: a gastronomic one.
