il MONTE — Emin Agalarov’s new Italian restaurant from AgalarovRest on Poklonnaya Gora.
A new il Monte restaurant is opening in Moscow, a project of the AgalarovRest restaurant group. The space forms a holistic gastronomic experience that combines architecture, product and service.
The restaurant is located at: Enzo Hotel. Location on Poklonnaya Gora enhances the concept of the project and becomes part of its philosophy.
The name il Monte in Italian means «mountain», «peak». It reflects the idea of striving for maximum quality in taste, product and service level.
Valery Lizunov and the Archpoint Architectural Bureau team are responsible for architecture and design. The interior is built as a continuation of the restaurant’s concept: restrained aesthetics, attention to detail and an emphasis on the materiality of space create an environment in which gastronomy becomes the central element.
Il Monte cuisine is a modern interpretation of classic Italy from brand chef Kirill Berger. It is based on working with high—quality ingredients and striving for pure taste.
The menu features key categories of Italian products in their authentic quality: olive oil, prosciutto, bresaola, aged cheeses, tomatoes, lemons, capers. Working with ingredients is built around their natural characteristics without excessive processing.
The core of the menu consists of classic Italian dishes in a modern author’s interpretation. The main focus is on balance, texture and precision of execution. Meals at il Monte include spectacular table service.
The bar menu was developed by the chef-bartender Evgeny Maksimov and is built as a continuation of the gastronomic concept of the restaurant. It is based on classic and original cocktails.
