Strelka Bar is the social heart of Strelka Institute. The eclectic interior brings together art deco elements with Italian and Scandinavian designs from the 1960s and ‘70s. Guests can choose from an extensive cocktail list and an international menu. On weekends there is a lively music programme, from DJ sets to live jazz played on an antique J Becker piano. The summertime rooftop terrace overlooks the Moscow River. All profits from the bar support Strelka Institute.

Strelka's new head chef Yves Le Lay, a young Dane from Copenhagen, is the first ambassador of the new wave of Scandinavian cuisine in Moscow.
Yves's introduction to the kitchen and culinary world began at a very early age, and the smells and aromas of the various foods that back then permeated his family's house, became his first and primary source of inspiration. After receiving a traditional culinary education, Yves worked together with Michelin chefs in Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, and for the last 18 months he's labored at the position of sous chef at Søllerød Kro — an institution with 3 centuries of history and 1 Michelin star.
For Strelka, Yves plans to merge two styles - classic French foundations, as taught to him by his father, and an airy, modern Scandinavian cuisine. Strelka's new menu will revolve around local seasonal foods: fresh and fragrant fruits and vegetables in the summer, wild mushrooms and berries in autumn, game during hunting season, as well as grains, root plants, native grasses and seasonal herbs traditional to northern cuisine. This ever-changing, ever-evolving and always fresh cuisine will allow our food to finally measure up to Strelka's overall vision — as a place where ideas are born and brought to fruition.
