Folk

Modern Caucasian cuisine at "Trubnaya" boasts panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and one of the most charming terraces on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

"Folk" restaurant is a flagship project of the "Folk Team," led by Dmitry Romanov and Veniamin Ivanov, in partnership with Anton Pinsky. It features local ingredients and traditions from the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East, forming the foundation of its modern cuisine. "Folk" welcomes guests with a cozy patio featuring a fireplace and a large stone table, where friends and families gather in the evenings. The aroma of freshly baked bread permeates the entire restaurant. In the center of the room is a spacious bar with a low counter, allowing everyone to see and relax. To the right is a more intimate wine area with a cabinet showcasing dozens of bottles and a picturesque painting titled "Caucasian Ladies Playing Polo." To the left is a long sofa along the wall, illuminated by soft strips of light. Inspired by the classics of national cuisines, the "Folk" team creates a new story of familiar flavors and aromas, offering flavorful and comforting dishes cooked over an open fire – in a wood-fired oven, a "hoshper," and on a rotating grill: kebabs, "lahmacun" (Turkish flatbread), and "tartare." In the kitchen, fragrant herbs are dried, marinated, and fermented, homemade "narsharab" (fruit compote), "tkemali" (plum sauce), and "satsibele" (spicy walnut sauce) are prepared, and Abkhazian lemons and wild plums are preserved in jars. In the oven, delicate flatbreads and "lahmacun" are baked, featuring crispy edges and unexpected fillings. The bar is also a treasure trove of unique flavors: featuring distillates made with "ryazhenka" (fermented milk) and "matsoni" (yogurt), cocktails made with "tkemali," feijoa, and tarragon cordials, herbal liqueurs, lemon curd, poppy seeds, and halva. The wine list showcases the best examples of Southern wines, ranging from orange wines to biodynamic wines, with a geographical range extending from Armenia and Georgia to Burgundy and the United States. The flavors of the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East are brought to life here through the use of local ingredients.
