The recipe reached Roman Zaštšerinski more than 20 years ago in Helsinki. The batter rises for at least 12 hours and the blini are cooked in clarified butter. They can be served with whitefish caviar or Osetra caviar. FLAVOURS Warm BUCKWHEAT BLINIS · sour cream · red onion · lemon · WHITEFISH CAVIAR or OSETRA CAVIAR DRINK PAIRING A dry sparkling wine or Champagne works well with the delicate texture of the blini and the saltiness of the caviar. 02 ### BEEF TARTARE Beef tartare has been part of Moon’s menu for many years, although its accompaniments change from time to time with the seasons and new ideas from the kitchen. The dish combines classic tartare with flavours and details characteristic of Moon. FLAVOURS BEEF TARTARE · seasonal accompaniments · brioche bread DRINK PAIRING A juicy, fresh red wine complements the flavour of the beef without making the pairing too heavy. 03 ### PIKE FISHCAKE One of Moon’s longtime classics, changing slightly with the seasons. The main element remains the same while the accompaniments follow the best seasonal ingredients. FLAVOURS PIKE FISHCAKE · seasonal accompaniments · fresh herbs DRINK PAIRING A fresh, mineral white wine complements the delicate flavour of the fish and works well with the seasonal accompaniments. 04 ### Handmade SIBERIAN DUMPLINGS (with meat) Moon’s dumplings are made by hand and served with wild mushroom sauce, sour cream and adjika. It’s one of those dishes many guests return to again and again. FLAVOURS Handmade SIBERIAN DUMPLINGS · wild mushroom sauce · sour cream · spring onion · adjika DRINK PAIRING A soft, juicy red wine pairs well with the meat filling and wild mushroom sauce. 05 ### CHICKEN KIEV A dish that has been on Moon’s menu since the early years – for more than 15 years. A classic done our way, with crisp breading, herb butter and seasonal accompaniments. FLAVOURS crisp breading · herb butter · mashed potatoes · seasonal salad DRINK PAIRING Pair it with a mineral Chardonnay or an elegant Pinot Noir.
