Moscowcultural revolution

With a contemporary interior designed by leading Japanese firm Super Potato, Nedalny Vostok (“Not Far East”) is part of the culinary empire of Russia’s most successful restaurateur Arkady Novikov. The gleaming open kitchen serves up Asian-fusion dishes with an emphasis on seafood—crab in particular. Caught off of Sakhalin Island, the crustacean appears in salads, soups and sushi. Try it with wasabi mayo in a cucumber salad dressed with ponzo sauce. And save room for dessert. Pastry chef Kobayashi Katsuhiko is lauded for his creations.
