Brunch is a must for a perfect relaxed weekend. Magnum Wine Bar knows this firsthand: Chef Anton Medvedenko has developed a menu of brunch must-haves: benedict, shakshuka, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, bagel, and resty. At the same time, each recipe is original: for example, buch de chevre cheese was added to shakshuka, and green curry was added to poached egg. If the party continues on Friday, a hangover soup made with strong chicken broth will come to the rescue. And what is brunch without a drink? The weekend menu also includes well-priced champagne and sparkling wine.

Building on Chinese restaurants, the owners of Mandy’s Group opened a Wontoneria street food outlet of the same name in Chistye Prudy. The menu is based on a single product: wontons, a popular Chinese dish or, as they are also called, “Chinese dumplings.” Wontons are served with different fillings: shrimp and pork, beef, chicken, or vegetables. You can complement them with smoothie cucumbers in lime sauce, bean sprouts in sesame sauce, corn soup with crab. The man in charge of the menu is Alexander Ermakov, project manager at Mandy’s Group. Inside, architecture firm ANZA, led by Anastasia Zemlyanskaya, offered an interpretation of the traditional Chinese restaurant through the prism of modern art and design. And if there are not enough wontons in the cafeteria, you can order semi-finished products home and cook them yourself.
