Cold Meat section provides seven sorts of tartare and four sorts of carpaccio. Fried, Boiled and Stewed Meat section offers dozens of steaks (including author variations), stewed beef ribs with juniper berries, onion Confit or oranges, venison or quail Stroganoff, and also khashlama, pelmeni, osso buco, roasted duck, veal cheeks, roasted marrowbones and cabbage rolls. Minced Meat is represented by burger from marbled beef, as well as chicken, veal and pheasant cutlets. Cold Dishes Without Meat section is also worth noticing, with such rare dishes as Big Caspian herring, Narva lampreys, Murmansk scallops, Sakhalin shrimps, Crimean oysters, burbot liver, and salad made of Krasnodar tomatoes with Yalta onion and delicate pomegranate squeeze.
