LEPS ASIAN RESTAURANT & SINGER CLUB

LEPS ASIAN RESTAURANT & SINGER CLUB, a premium Pan-Asian restaurant, is opening in the center of Moscow. It combines high-end gastronomy and exceptional bar classics with the art of nightlife, featuring a music and entertainment program inspired by the project's visionary, Grigory Leps.

The LEPS restaurant takes guests on a journey through Asia, based on the concept of a hero's journey, a metaphor for growth and development. This is similar to a "monogatari," a classic Japanese tale composed of short, interconnected stories with a common protagonist. In this restaurant, the protagonist is Grigory Leps himself, his interests, personality, and style, which are reflected in every detail. The eclectic mix of styles emphasizes his dynamism, constant evolution, limitless possibilities, and multifaceted nature. For example, the restaurant draws inspiration from Japan's depth and artistry, Singapore's pursuit of innovation, and Thailand's vibrant nightlife.

As every legend begins with immersion in an atmosphere, the restaurant reveals its concept through its interior design. Maria Zhukova, the lead architect at MMZ PROJECT, was responsible for the design. The visual elements of the project feature Asian minimalism, grotesque elements, a balance of tradition and modern techniques. The restaurant creates an intimate atmosphere with dark wood accents, lighting panels, and retains an industrial heritage with brick walls and architectural lines.

LEPS offers a gastronomic experience where the team, led by chef Yegor Kalinin (formerly of Cutfish, Amber, and Tokyo), showcases authentic Asian cuisine in both its refined and more "bold" formats. The menu includes a selection of Japanese dishes emphasizing high-quality, "pure" ingredients, as well as vibrant and unexpected flavor combinations. LEPS is a synthesis of authentic flavors from Japan, Thailand, China, and Vietnam, interpreted in a unique way. Chef Kalinin's cuisine highlights the delicacy of Asian flavors, drawing inspiration primarily from Japan's sophisticated and refined philosophy and presentation. The focus is on raw bar items, dim sum, appetizers, and sharing platters.

The gastronomic journey at LEPS begins with the raw bar, featuring dishes like salmon with spicy shiso (1240 rubles), amaebi shrimp with tomato salsa (1490 rubles), and crab sunomono (1100 rubles). The dim sum selection includes crab and shrimp dumplings (900 rubles), truffle chicken dumplings (940 rubles), and salmon dumplings with sesame (720 rubles). Among the main courses, highlights include chicken tsukune with tare sauce and egg yolk (1450 rubles), braised beef with corn mousse, sake jelly (1300 rubles), and unagi eel with wasabi and steamed rice (1500 rubles). A special section features dishes with Wagyu beef, including rolls (9900 rubles), gyoza with soy beans (3100 rubles), beef and noodle soup with miso (2760 rubles), and sukiyaki with vegetables (7050 rubles), served for sharing. The dessert menu offers Asian-inspired variations, such as yuzu Earl Grey torte (1240 rubles), matcha tiramisu (860 rubles), and mochi with dates and praline (550 rubles).

The bar concept is built around the richness and diversity of Asian flavors and cultural traditions, presented in a modern fusion format with a focus on Singapore, a unique melting pot of cultures.

The bar menu features a carefully curated selection of Japanese gins and whiskeys, reflecting the depth and sophistication of Japanese spirits. The cocktails are made with traditional Asian ingredients such as shiso, miso, yuzu, lemongrass, and others, adding a touch of refinement and exoticism. Recommended cocktails include Whispers of Jade (vodka, jasmine liqueur, matcha, tonic - 1300 rubles), Spiced Desire (vanilla vodka, passion fruit, Sauvignon Blanc, pepper blend - 1300 rubles), Raffles Heritage (gin, fennel, white cardamom, spiced cherry, pineapple, spices - 1300 rubles), and Koi Negroni (Japanese gin, vermouth blend, shiso liqueur, pomegranate essence, bitters - 1300 rubles).

From 9:00 PM, LEPS transforms into a full-fledged SINGER CLUB, with its own unique atmosphere, featuring live performances by ethnic artists, DJ sets, and rare musical instruments.

The SINGER CLUB offers a premium karaoke experience, allowing guests to become part of the show, sing their favorite songs, and enjoy the energy until the early hours. VIP rooms provide a unique and exclusive atmosphere for private parties, with karaoke service and professional audio equipment available for booking.

In addition to the gastronomic experience, LEPS offers a unique and versatile space that combines impeccable service, exquisite presentation, and cultural resonance.
