At Minerals, the concept is simple yet profound – to seek out and showcase the hidden treasures of Russian cuisine. Just as semi-precious stones unveil the depth and beauty of our vast country, Chef Egor Nikonov is inspired by the pure taste of each unique product he discovers, treating them with the utmost care, much like a master craftsman shaping a crystal.

 Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by an awe-inspiring sight—a chandelier cascading like a waterfall of semi-precious minerals. This captivating installation serves as an introduction to the world of Minerals, setting the stage for an extraordinary dining experience.

Along the right wall, a striking sculpture by Russian artist Daniel Zagh, titled “Elastic Limit,” commands attention. Zagh, who studied under the renowned architect Zaha Hadid, showcases his artistic prowess, infusing the space with a sense of elegance and modernity.

To the opposite side, the confectionery area beckons with its tantalizing display. Here, Ksenia Solovyova, the talented pastry chef of Minerals, works her magic in two directions. On the left, seasonal pastries and desserts tempt the palate, while on the right, a showcase of minerals presents a collection of rare flavors and unique gem-like forms.

 As we venture further into the restaurant, the evening dining area unfolds, revealing a captivating ambiance that seamlessly blends nature’s treasures with exquisite craftsmanship. The restaurant’s name itself pays homage to Russia’s vast wealth, incorporating over 10 varieties of stones and minerals into its interior design. But what truly steals the show is the open kitchen, framed by a charoite counter—a semi-precious mineral extracted solely from Yakutia, the world’s only charoite mine.

For wine enthusiasts, Minerals offers an unparalleled experience. A wine cellar boasting a collection of over 1200 bottles awaits, curated by a knowledgeable chef-sommelier. Unique wines, found only in a select few establishments across Russia, beckon discerning palates, promising a perfect pairing to complement the culinary delights on offer.

 Leading the Minerals team is their esteemed brand chef, Egor Nikonov, renowned for his expertise in Russian cuisine. With an unwavering dedication to his craft, Chef Nikonov constantly pushes boundaries and experiments with rare local products, ensuring that every dish is a testament to the incredible flavors that can be found within Russia’s borders.
