This summer, the Country Club "Repino-Leninское" and the restaurant FACES are hosting a joint forest dinner outdoors. Guests can expect an intimate evening in the Resort District, with candles, live flowers, and dishes made from local products surrounded by a pine forest. The kitchen is led by two chefs: Stepan Smirnov from the Country Club "Repino-Leninское" and Valentin Burtman from FACES and Taste. Stepan cooks in a fusion style, using wild herbs, rare fish, and farm cheeses. Valentin focuses on seasonal ingredients, clean flavors, and clear combinations. Together, they have created an exclusive set that will be prepared by four hands. On the evening's menu: herring forcemeat with smoked Onega vendace - among sea stones and seaweed in a mist of dry ice under a glass dome; amuse-bouche - tartlet with Kamchatka crab and red caviar; scallop with strawberries and ponzu onion sauce - served directly in the shell on ice; arancini with braised salmon and truffle sauce; fried halloumi with harissa and roasted apricots; sorbet of blood orange with timut pepper; duck fillet with parsnip cream and cherry sauce; panna cotta on melted cream with fresh berries. Each dish will be complemented by wine pairings specially selected by the sommelier of the restaurant FACES. The event has a cocktail dress code. More details can be found on the website.
