Cucumber at “Piter Raduga” mall

The factory is best observed from the second and third floors – where VIP-halls are situated. Constructions and details carry sense and beauty in every nuance. Fruits and vegetables reside in their boxes in one corner, a transformer-stage is set up for celebrity concerts in the other. Young guests have a blast in a designated playground zone with rides and slides. There’s a special menu for the little ones, and every Saturday the restaurant hosts culinary master classes. As well as gastronomic shows with molecular cuisine themes.

The key word is functionality. “Cucumber” is perfectly suitable for beer nights with the boys, for casual girl talks and for a quick bite amid shopping sprees. The menu covers the whole world: Siberian dumplings and roasted beef, glass noodles with chicken and juicy burgers, Kamchatka crab and teriyaki tuna.

If you happen to be a gourmet of the highest order, satisfy your curiosity: all workshops are open. The process of food-making happens right in front of your eyes. Squeeze between saucepans and cook hats, sit yourself on high stools and watch Volga crucian carps being stewed in sour cream, giblets are chopped into rassolnik soup and sweet eggplants are thrown into red-hot Wok. But you don’t have to be all fancy at “Cucumber”. There are classic Soviet desserts on the menu – “Mishka na severe”, “Polet”, “Praga”. You can absolutely get away with eating those!
