Do not know what to feed the noisy horde of friends of your husband, gathered to you on February 23, or to cheer for your favorite team? Choose the proven hits of any men’s party — chicken wings, fried potatoes, homemade burgers, and for an appetizer surprise the male audience with crunchy spring rolls. All this is prepared quickly, you can eat with your hands, and it is delicious, like in a restaurant. After all, the recipes were shared with us by Oleg Petrichenko, the chef of the recently opened, but already incredibly popular metropolitan restaurant Cheapside Josper Bistro.
Cheapside is a new creation of the team of the Coffee company chain, known for its impeccable quality, the best coffee in the city and creative approach to the menu. The concept of the restaurant is built around a hosper-a closed grill oven. Cooking in this oven is equivalent to grilling on an open fire. The meat, for example, is accompanied by an excellent aroma of smoke.
In addition to dishes from the oven, there are many items on the menu that you will return here more than once. For example, an incredibly delicious and original salad “Bruce-salad”. It is an amazing combination of deep-fried Brussels sprouts, fresh red cabbage, chicken breast slices and hazelnut slices in an orange-mustard dressing. This gastronomic experience will force you to take a fresh look at the usual ingredients. The menu has a lot of different meats: from roe deer medallions, goat legs and Australian tenderloin to Bavarian and Cologne sausages. Duck is served with soba, spring rolls, casserole, or simply duck breast with ginger-mango sauce. Burgers for every taste: with rabbit, potatoes, shrimp, egg and bacon, lamb, Baku tomatoes and cheese. Fish is also prepared mainly in josper — dorada, salmon, Chilean sea bass, halibut, walleye, as well as carp cutlets, lobster and baby squid. You can drink refreshing lemonades or warming infjns (tea without tea) with ginger, cranberries and raspberries, mint, chamomile. And what milk-shakes are here! What is a caramel milk shake with a salty cracker-a drink and a dessert in one glass.
The menu is created by the whole team, then all the ideas are brought together and worked out by chef Oleg Petrichenko, who came to Cheapside from Kinki. The team is still working on the overall concept, they say there is no limit to perfection. The restaurant itself is small, with just over 50 seats. Panoramic windows offer views of the bustling Forest Street and the quiet courtyard of the shopping center, you can watch the work of chefs and bartenders in the open kitchen. The courteous attentive staff and quick service complete the pleasant experience of this place, and some menu items can now be repeated at home. Success is assured!
