Syr (Cheese)

Syr (Cheese) Overview

Since opening its doors in 2001, Syr is a restaurant in Moscow all about genuine and quality Italian food. It is located on the city Garden Ring and brings a piece of Italy right in the heart of Moscow’s busy centre.

Syr is Russian for cheese and this is a very appropriate name for the restaurant considering that entering on the first floor seems like entering into cheese fairytale land. The tasteful original decor seems to put clients in the middle of a gigantic whole cheese and even menus are served shaped in a round yellow book inside a copper pot. The second floor takes a more contemporary design with dark wood furniture and panelling across the walls.

Syr is welcoming, relaxing and elegant at the same time. The chef, Mirko Dzago, is a popular guest on a number of Italian and Russian TV culinary shows, where he brings the best of Italian cuisine to life, just like he does at the Syr restaurant. Antipasti, pasta, pizza, soups, meat and fish...the best of Italian is all here...and of course there is a selection of the best cheeses you will find anywhere.

Cheese and wine is a match made in heaven, and the Syr restaurant has an excllent wine list to accompany all the dishes. The professional sommelier and the chef are always at hand to help with a selection of varieties from Italy and France, where cheese and wine pairing is practically a national art form.
