A next step in the evolution of vegan food - Edit
We knew from the bat that Barkley was not a 100% vegan place, but as an enthousiast of high-end dining, I was more than happy to give this place a try.
Read moreIn the cosy but stylish interior we were treated with the best care. When stating that we were looking for a vegan experience, the owner showed us the vegan options on the map.
As is the case in proper European restaurants, the menu card was reduced to a minimum, with a focus on local and in season products. (low impact on nature). But 1/3 of the menu was suited for Vegans. The fact that they also serve non-vegan options should be considered as a logical choice, as this restaurant is a fine gem in Russia and therefore plays into a small niche of the local Russian restaurant visitors.
The food we ordered was exquisite. With an extra nomination for the heavenly patato's in form the starter.
Who ever claimed that vegan food should be simple, asian based or fast food, should go here and get a different perspective on the matter.
Like in many decent European restaurants the focus in Barkley is not quantity. It's about the quality of each ingredient, the experience of taste and sharing it with your partner or friends in a relaxing atmosphere.
This makes it more expensive than a traditional vegan burger bar, but than again. This is a completely different level and totally worth it.
Pros: excellent food, Packed with flavor, Very friendly staff
Cons: Not enough other people in this restaurant, ., .

Haut cuisine for vegans - Edit
I didn’t expect anything unusual, but I was wrong. Great restaurant with really great staff! The menu is relatively small but providing surprisingly good choice for vegans. I ordered potatoes with ice cream made of baked garlic for appetizer and courgette with tomatoes and paprika for the main. Both were delicious so I decided to opt for raspberry and beetroot dessert which was really awesome. I had rarely found such tasty vegan meals elsewhere earlier! The wine list offers a good range of Russian wines. I had two glasses of Russian sauvignon blanc which I found very good. The service was super friendly, the staff speaks English very well even comparing to France or other non-English speaking countries in Europe. By the way the location is easy to find, the place is in the centre of the city. I would give 5 stars to this restaurant! Definitely can recommend for a perfect dinner!

Exquisite food - one of the best in town. - Edit
The dinner was fantastic. Each of the dishes we ordered was a perfect combination of textures and flavors. The menu is rather small and seasonally adjusted. The desserts - one of the best we tried (beetroot cake delicious). The prices are very reasonable. Fully recommend this place. The cookery is awesome - we got the opportunity to talk to the chef, a talented young guy!
