At White Rabbit in Moscow Vladimir Mukhin, the shining star of Russia’s burgeoning fine dining scene pushes the limits on the whole dining experience, stimulating the senses and forging a new generation of Russian haute cuisine.
With his ‘Contrast’ tasting menu, Mukhin has added an augmented reality layer in the fine dining experience and true innovation for guests to enjoy.
In the glass domed White Rabbit dining room, offering spectacular views over Moscow we are taken through a journey for the senses, through gastronomy, virtual reality and even smell.
We get to go behind the scenes and visit the kitchen to witness the preparation while chef Mukhin talk us through every single element and we visit the White Rabbit Lab where as Mukhin puts it “all the interesting things happen”.
