Known, perhaps, not only in Russia, but alsoFar beyond the borders of our country, the Ginza Project restaurant holding has earned a worthy reputation in its segment. These are immaculately executed projects, always in a new way, but equally impressive and surprising to their guests - both new visitors and loyal regulars of restaurants of this chain.

Expensive and status, that does not immediately catch the eye and read when you look at the interior (it will be discussed later).
The second feature of the place is a magnificent panorama,which opens from the terrace of the restaurant. The view here is perhaps one of the best in all of Moscow. At the same time, guests can admire the main sights of the capital, including look around the Kremlin, see the Moscow River and Zamoskvorechye. And all this from a bird's eye view.
