I’ll start from afar: it’s late on the morning of January 1… and you’ve survived, but somehow remained in Moscow and now you’re not feeling that well.

Or.

You’ve got some hungry guests at night, and there’s only Prosecco in your fridge.

Or.

You’re starving during the night but the very idea of places like Yakitoriya is only making you feel all suicidal.

It’s been a long time since Gallery ceased to exist and quite a while since the sluts, which used to wander around the city hanging out in Vogue and places alike, were waiting for millionaires in there. Just like the great author said

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,

For as you were when first your eye I eyed,

Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold

Have from the forests shook three summers’ pride,

Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turned

In process of the seasons have I seen,

Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burned,

Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.

It’s all about the subject of the present article, namely, the delivery from the restaurant Gallery,

which on its own doesn’t exist any longer.

There has been a gastro revolution in Moscow. Indeed, now even Yakitoriya wraps just like Gucci.

There’re plenty of places that deliver. Yes, yes, yes…

Yet there’s a nuance.

 Everything that is delivered, ok, 95% of it is impossible to eat. (But not to be confused with

literally inedible stuff ™).

Of course, we still have oriental deliveries™ like Madame Wong, which would bring you some tasty food with greater or lesser success, but only if you live in the Sadovoye Ring and the wind is northwest and the moon is in the third quarter and there you’re supposed to wait for a hipster on bike to get your delivery in 2 hours 55 minutes strictly on weekdays before 21-00. It will consist only of this restaurant’s menu, which means that if you suddenly long for sushi rolls, pickles, penne arrabiata, patties, tom yam, and okroshka at the same time – you won’t get shit.

But what about a 24/7 delivery service that will bring you your food in an hour and a half and, actually, it will be good food starting from rolls up to panna cotta in a glass, and borscht, and rabbit patties with lingonberry mors as well?? Anywhere you wish?? And like really tasty??

No way!

Yet there is such a service, indeed! And it’ll definitely be damn good!

Our benefactor Arkadii Anatolievich created Gallery in the image and likeness of Vogue Café with all those wild strawberry pies, borscht/patties, sluts and horses. Fortunately, all that high poshness of the 2000s still remains, though they obviously don’t deliver any sluts there.

Of course, there’re some “local excesses” like chili sea bass – a piece for $70! – but I take it for a sort of a gastro-joke. My greetings to all those who used to book tables at Diaghilev for $265.

All the other stuff is more than fine: fucking awesome cold borsht/okroshka/vinegret/Olivier salad –  $8, Rigatoni Carbonara – $12, huge seafood pasta with tomato sauce – $22, rice with beef – $12, chicken – $17, duck confit – $15, chicken Kiev – $13, Philadelphia – $18.

And – oh, geez – potato with mushrooms.

No doubt, this is not for free. But it’s delicious and you actually can eat it after you get it out of the package. No need to throw it away just after you taste it.

Do enjoy!
