Manul

Manul is a premium restaurant of author cuisine at Ulitsa Okhotnyy Ryad, 2, bringing the culinary traditions of Siberia into central Moscow. Its concept is built around a contemporary interpretation of foodways associated with the region’s Indigenous peoples, drawing on recipes gathered during gastronomic expeditions along the Yenisei River.

The kitchen combines regional ingredients with a modern presentation. The menu’s character comes from game meats such as venison, wild boar and elk, alongside northern berries and wild Siberian plants. These products give the cooking a clear sense of place while allowing the restaurant to frame Siberian flavours in a refined, city setting.

Manul also places emphasis on the emotional side of food. The culinary approach is connected with memorable experiences, warmth and nostalgia, expressed through the balance of strong flavours, unfamiliar ingredients and carefully composed plates. The result is a restaurant suited to diners interested in regional Russian cuisine presented through an author-led lens rather than a strictly traditional format.

A central part of the concept is the idea of a Siberian feast. This is a shared meal designed around the custom of gathering at one table, with the character of the region conveyed through both the ingredients and the social ritual of dining together. That format makes Manul relevant for occasions where a meal is intended to feel more considered and communal, including celebrations, private gatherings and group dinners.

The atmosphere draws on Siberian authenticity, while the food remains contemporary in style. Manul can suit diners looking to explore northern Russian flavours, visitors seeking a distinctive regional cuisine experience, and groups marking a birthday, wedding, corporate event or other banquet occasion. The restaurant also offers gift certificates and maintains an events programme, adding flexibility for planned visits and special occasions.

Located near Okhotny Ryad, Manul places an ingredient-led Siberian concept within Moscow’s central dining scene. The restaurant’s identity is defined by the meeting of Indigenous Siberian culinary references, wild regional produce and polished author cuisine. It is a fitting choice for a meal focused on discovery, shared dining and a modern interpretation of the north.
