Why Visit Twins Garden?
The reasons are concrete. The restaurant sits in a penthouse on a central boulevard, and its windows give a skyline view of the historic center, according to guides. In summer a terrace on the roof opens a panorama of the center, according to a Russian media guide.
The idea is farm to table: the brothers run an eco farm in the Kaluga region that supplied most of the ingredients, according to older guides, with the rest from fishermen in the Russian Far East. The wine cellar is one of the largest in Russia, with more than a thousand labels in older guides. It is a place for a long dinner, so book ahead.
Highlights of Twins Garden
The penthouse and the roof terrace
The restaurant occupies a two-storey penthouse on Strastnoy Boulevard, according to a travel guide, and the large windows look out over the city's skyline. A Russian media guide describes the summer terrace on the roof of the seventh floor, with a panoramic view of the historic center. The upper floor also has a veranda and a bar, according to an older guide.
Tip: Ask about terrace seating when you book a summer table.
The birch alley and the open kitchen
A travel guide says that guests pass a birch alley on entering, a nod to the brothers' surname, which derives from the Russian word for birch. The open kitchen can be seen from the foyer, according to the same guide. Together they show the concept before the first dish arrives.
Tip: Arrive a few minutes early to take in the entrance.
The farm-to-table idea
The brothers launched an eco farm in the Kaluga region, and according to older guides about 70 percent of the ingredients came from it, with the rest from fishermen in the Russian Far East. The restaurant takes the word garden in its name from that farm. The sourcing may have changed, so ask the staff what is from the farm today.
Tip: Ask which dishes come from the farm in the current season.
The set menus and the a la carte list
Guides describe set menus, including a demonstration set of six staples in an older guide, and a recent media guide names a set called Legends of Old Cities, with Romanov lamb, crayfish soup, lightly smoked sterlet and kalach bread. The a la carte list has dishes such as crispy suckling pig and cod with seasonal mushrooms and stracciatella.
Tip: Check the current sets on the official site, since they change.
The wine cellar
An older guide says that the restaurant has the largest wine list in Russia, with more than a thousand options, kept in a separate storage room that can be visited on a guided tour. Wine pairings go with the sets. The figures date from earlier years, so ask the sommelier for the current list.
Tip: Ask whether a cellar tour is available on your evening.
The chefs
Older guides name the twin chefs Ivan and Sergey Berezutsky as the creators, while a 2026 media guide names Vitaly Savelyev as the chef behind the current sets. Kitchens change, so the team on your visit may differ from older descriptions. Check the official site for the current chef.
Tip: Ask the staff who leads the kitchen now.
What to Order
- Beef tartare, listed among the restaurant's dishes on its map listing
- Cabbage with black caviar and sour cream, listed on the same map listing
- Crispy suckling pig with mashed potatoes, named by a 2026 media guide
- Cod with seasonal mushrooms and stracciatella, named by the same guide
- The set Legends of Old Cities, with Romanov lamb, crayfish soup and smoked sterlet, named by the same guide
- A wine pairing with a set, since the cellar is a main draw according to older guides
Atmosphere
Twins Garden is a stylish room with big windows high above the boulevard, according to guides, with an open kitchen visible from the foyer and a birch alley at the entrance. The skyline view is part of the meal, and one guide says it is not a place for a quick bite.
In summer the roof terrace opens, and a local guide says it fills in the evening, while the upper floor has a veranda and a bar with lounge music. The mood is that of a long dinner with a set menu and wine, in a room where guests dress up. Daylight shows the rooftops, and evening shows the lit city.
History of Twins Garden
Twins Garden is the project of the twin chefs Ivan and Sergey Berezutsky, according to older guides, who launched their own eco farm in the Kaluga region and built a restaurant around its produce. A travel guide says that the brothers had started to feel cramped in their earlier restaurant and moved to a new two-storey Twins Garden in a penthouse on a central plaza.
The restaurant is on Strastnoy Boulevard 8A, part of the Boulevard Ring, which begins at Pushkin Square. The boulevard takes its name from the Strastnoy Monastery, founded in 1654, according to a travel site.
Guides from different years describe the restaurant as farm to table, with a large wine list and set menus. A 2026 media guide names Vitaly Savelyev as the chef behind the current sets, so the kitchen’s leadership may have changed since the older descriptions.
The opening year was not found in the sources read, so the history here is short, and awards are left out because they were not confirmed on the awarding body’s own site.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
