Vodный
Moscow
At a glance
Vodный is a waterside restaurant on the shore of the Khimki Reservoir, within the Royal Yacht Club on Leningradskoye Highway in Moscow. The setting combines a marina backdrop with a restaurant interior shaped around four natural elements: water, sand, air and fire. The venue suits meals by the water, relaxed gatherings and private events in a setting connected to the yacht club.
The interior uses flowing water-inspired textures, terrazzo surfaces recalling a sandy shoreline and generous open space. A terracotta line associated with the restaurant’s oven brings the fire element into the design. The result is a spacious, contemporary environment with a clear connection to its waterfront location, rather than a traditional dining room separated from the marina.
A warm enclosed veranda forms the main feature for guests seeking a view across the water and yacht club. Seating is arranged so that the marina remains part of the setting, while the veranda allows waterside dining in a sheltered space. The restaurant also has outdoor areas, including an upper terrace, a lower terrace with a pier and a pontoon tent. These spaces extend the venue beyond the main dining room and support different formats for gatherings.
Decorative ceiling bas-reliefs inspired by Alexander Deineka’s rowing illustration link the interior with the open areas. Their subject and the yacht-club setting reinforce the venue’s nautical character without turning the restaurant into a themed attraction. The design keeps the water, open air and marina in focus throughout the space.
Vodный’s menu is presented as a restaurant menu alongside a separate wine list, although the venue’s published description does not define a particular national cuisine. The restaurant therefore works best for guests choosing a setting-led meal, a meeting near the water or a larger occasion requiring several indoor and outdoor areas. Banquets and other events can be arranged across the veranda, terraces, pier and pontoon tent, with the exact format depending on the selected space.
The location is outside the central city streets but remains positioned as a short drive from central Moscow. The address is Leningradskoye Highway 39, Building 6, on the Royal Yacht Club grounds. Professional photography and video filming are not permitted at the venue, so private celebrations and visits should be planned with that restriction in mind.
