Where to book a table for March 8

A spot for celebrating from 9:00 am. Eggs Benedict with mortadella, syrniki with cherry sauce, a tuna sandwich, a glass of Bellini — and the day will start sparkling from the very morning. Although Zira serves breakfast all day, it takes lunch and dinner just as seriously: steaks, soups, cutlets are all prepared with a modern, approachable touch. And the local croissants, Danishes, and tarts are the stuff of legend.

Pizza and pasta are two of the surest ways to bring people together, and Roni does both well. The pizza dough recipe was brought over from Naples, while the toppings go beyond the classics to include signature options like the Not a Burger and Beijing Calling pizzas. Among the pasta dishes are familiar favorites: aglio e olio, carbonara, and bolognese. A charming interior and a wide range of drinks make any lunch or dinner feel festive.

A joint project by Novikov Group, Family Garden, and AB Group. Lali is like a gracious Uzbek lady, retaining her elegance and vibrant character in everything from its interior design to its plov recipes. Large groups gathering for festive lunches on March 8 and beyond will find tables filled with lagman, khash, katlama, kuza-shurpa, dimlama, and kebabs. Guests will also find an extensive drinks list and a light, welcoming atmosphere.

This hit restaurant from Krasnodar by Novikov Group, Family Garden, and AB Group is a great place for large family gatherings. The grill and oven are constantly at work in the kitchen: the former turns out shashlik and lula kebabs, while the latter bakes kutabs, khachapuri, meat, and poultry dishes. The chef regularly surprises with unexpected items, such as chebureki with shrimp and crab. There is a separate menu for children and master classes, while adults can enjoy regular live music programs.

A tip for men: the way to a woman’s heart gets shorter when she is presented with a perfectly cooked serving of meat. You’ll find plenty of proof of that at this AB Group project. Book a table at Myasnoy, order dry-aged steaks, burgers, kebabs, or lamb rack, and pick the right pairing for any dish from the drinks list.

An ideal choice for an evening celebration. The huge windows offer beautiful views, while the interior feels like an art space inspired by Bali, Morocco, and southern Europe. The menu is just as varied: chef Nikita Bychkov of Zira offers a fresh take on dishes from around the world: hummus, bao, Greek flatbreads, and steaks — it never gets boring. Especially with a signature cocktail in hand.
