This is how the Chinese culinary oasis Mume, which will soon appear on the 90th floor of the monumental Federation Fortress, is imagined.
Faraway Taiwan is famous for its unique restaurant, Mume, which has lit up the Michelin-starred firmament. However, a brand new establishment, about to open in the intricate Moscow City architectural complex, has no direct connection to its Taiwanese counterpart, despite the similarity in name.
The Telegram channel "SysoevFM" has announced the upcoming opening of a restaurant in Moscow called Mume. It will be a Chinese cuisine island perched on the 90th floor of the Federation Tower, offering visitors breathtaking panoramic views.
The establishment's culinary world will be curated by Jacky Wu, known for his work at Duddell's in Hong Kong and as head of Asia at Marina Bay Sands. Mume will offer chef's table and à la carte menus, as well as private rooms for comfortable business meetings.
Looking at the provided interior images, it's easy to imagine a place like this would fit comfortably in the wilds of Singapore's Chinatown. The style and design were created by Hot Design Folks, a Singapore-based agency.
Judging by recent trends, the restaurant industry is increasingly turning its gaze toward Asia. Earlier, news broke that Georgian cuisine has overtaken Italian cuisine. How this will develop in the future is difficult to predict. However, the arrival of Mume will likely mark another significant "Asian" move on the restaurant scene following the reopening of Mr. Lee under the direction of Arkady Novikov.
