Moscow is changing for the better, and the MODUS restaurant is changing with it!
This is the first thought that comes to mind if you look at the building of the MODUS restaurant project in the historical lane of the Plushykha district. The majestic three-storey mansion in the neoclassical style is truly impressive. Architect Irina Naryshkina worked on the project, the interior was designed by designer Anna Kurganova.
During the day, the restaurant’s stained—glass windows fill the restaurant with sunlight, inviting you to breakfast, and in the evening they reflect the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the place of Chekhov’s wedding, and the flickering of crystal chandeliers. Every winter, a fireplace is lit in the main hall, and the whole space is filled with the aromas of juniper and fir cones. Time spent in comfort on soft sofas seems to slow down. The cuisine directions and the choice of menu items are based on rich experience and a look into the future. The MODUS restaurant concept, which has been in existence since 2006, is now being revealed in a new guise, like the flower of life symbolically reflected in the restaurant’s logo.
