GQ Bar is Arkady Novikov’s largest restaurant project. It includes three different spaces spread out over 1,500 square meters: a Mediterranean restaurant, a karaoke bar, and a traditional bar.
The “Russian Trend” section of the GQ Bar menu is a compilation of everyone’s favorite Russian dishes, which the head chef presents in new ways, with his own unique takes on the recipes. Traditional Russian ingredients sound modern, metamorphosing and revealing all the nuances of their flavor.
The three parts of the space have three completely different concepts. What unites them is a very clean design that is a symbiosis of the classical and the contemporary.
Mediterranean restaurant:
Light colors, very airy. GQ covers adorn the walls. The Heart room has a monumental open kitchen made of steel and black granite. Also present are natural onyx and Jurassic marble, the hue of which complements the 50s-style maple furniture that also occupies the space.
Karaoke bar:
High ceilings and large vaulted windows—features of an architectural monument. The walls are trimmed with teak, Southeast Asian style. Chinese lamps. Photographs of peculiar flowers line the walls; live orange trees and blooming orchids dot the room. Water purls in waterfall-fountains; big fans turn slowly on the walls. Karaoke lovers can make their judgment of the professional equipment, sound quality, acoustics, and the impressive backing-vocals function.
Traditional bar:
Expansive and light during the day thanks to the high ceilings and big vaulted windows. The interior features are timeless classics: white walls, dark oak, marble fireplace, severe Ralph Lauren furniture.
