For breakfast or lunch, any restaurant with good cuisine will do, for a romantic date — almost any restaurant, the main thing is that the atmosphere should be favorable. Business dinners are different — here you need several factors to come together at once. The establishment should be cozy, but too relaxed atmosphere can throw off the business mood, service — pleasant, but unobtrusive, and the menu — consist not only of appetizers. All this can be found in the Lambic restaurant chain. Our brasseries are versatile: here it is comfortable to meet with friends, organize dates and solve important business tasks. But let’s talk about everything in order. Lambic is probably the best restaurant for business dinners An important criterion for an establishment where business meetings are held is a convenient location. The ideal location is the city center, but not always: if the capital is stuck in traffic jams, it may be more convenient for business partners to meet in one of the neighboring districts. In this case, Lambic is also an ideal choice. The chain already has more than 20 restaurants practically all over Moscow, most of them located in the immediate vicinity of the metro or with the possibility to easily reach the place by car.

Lambic meets this requirement one hundred percent — even sophisticated visitors will find something interesting for themselves in the rich menu. We offer a wide choice of meat, fish and poultry dishes, appetizers, salads, grilled dishes and much more. Here you can try real Belgian potato waffles with different sauces, live mussels, traditional European dishes, such as Flemish beef stewed in Burgundy de Flanders beer, and even fast food. The range of drinks is also impressive: from coffee and tea to author’s lemonades. But a business dinner at the restaurant does not necessarily have to be alcohol-free, especially since the main highlight of Lambic is beer. A glass of quality beer will help to relax and discuss all important issues in a comfortable atmosphere. Our beer menu is based on Belgian beverages, but there are also varieties from other countries, which we have tasted, appreciated and boldly recommend to our guests. And also wine, sparkling wine, whisky, cognac, tequila, rum, cocktails — in general, there is a lot to choose from! And if you prefer to talk about business not at dinner, but only during the day, come to business lunches.

Cherry beer has long occupied a separate niche among foamy beverages - the taste of this berry is so harmoniously blended into the bouquet that the trend has its own connoisseurs. And the most popular among the cherry brews is Kriek - a traditional Belgian beer of bright ruby color, which has a unique taste and rich aroma. But why is it so beloved by beer fans? From history Kriek is not even a variety, but a separate style. It is based on lambic, a beer made by spontaneous fermentation and only in Belgium. The wort is left in open vats, where "wild" yeasts - microorganisms that are found only in the valley of the river Senna - get in from the air. Because the spontaneous fermentation process is completely uncontrollable, each batch of lambic has a unique flavor, which is why beer connoisseurs love it. Kriek differs from ordinary lambic by adding cherry juice or whole berries with pips before filtration. The mixture is not fermented, but kept for at least six months, until the beer reaches the right consistency. The first such drink was brewed many years ago in Scharbeck brewery - local craftsmen decided to add to the product the fruit of sour cherries, which grew near the production site. And they were right: the taste of the berry turned out to be just right, and the drink itself acquired a beautiful ruby color as well. And today? These days, brewers don't rely on fate - the cherries for Kriek beer are grown on purpose. Most of the time they are Morello, ideally from the Brussels area. The result is a rather sour and tart beer with a rich, velvety flavor. For those who like it sweeter, producers offer a cherry-based kriek of sweet varieties, but do not immediately take the path of least resistance - you should first try to make friends with the original drink. Belgian Kriek cherry beer has a lot to love: despite the moderate strength of 5-6%, it is a great warming in the cold. And it is also extremely pleasant to drink: in addition to cherries, you can feel the nutty tones and light floral notes in the taste. And, of course, there is nothing without the traditional flavor characteristics of lambic - old leather, wet earth and horse blanket. The Belgian Kriek cherry beer should be consumed correctly - chilled to +8 degrees, from tall glasses or standard-sized hollow glasses. And ideally, do not snack: this way the taste of cherry lambic opens up even better. If you can't taste Kriek in Belgium, come to a beer restaurant that honors the traditions of the country. Like any of the Lambic Brasserie - they serve cherry beers in style!

Belgian, but from America, surprisingly tasty, but affordable, witbier, but instead of curacao - sweet orange ... Blue Moon beer is as if woven from contradictions, and this is precisely its uniqueness. No wonder they said about him that such discoveries happen only on the Blue Moon. One random phrase later became the name of the variety, but it was clearly no accident that led to worldwide popularity. What is it anyway? Blue Moon is a typical Belgian blanche. Hence the confusion - many fans of foamy drinks are still convinced that the drink is of European origin. But this is not so: Blue Moon beer is completely American. Despite this, producers do not forget about the origins - large letters belgian white on the label directly indicate the style of beer. Blue Moon beer was first brewed back in 1995 at a brewery in Denver, Colorado. The masters went on an experiment - they took the classic Belgian blanche as a basis, but instead of the bitter orange of Curacao, they added the zest of the sweet Valencia variety. The beer was named Bellyslide Belgian White - and kept it until production was moved to Canada. The legendary name Blue Moon was born exactly there, in Quebec. And in the same place - beer continues to be brewed both for the local and partially for the American market. The brewery in Denver is also still operating, and in 2016 it went through a major upgrade. Taste and popularity The main advantage of Blue Moon Belgian White beer is its unique taste. Bright and at the same time light, sweet, but not cloying, with a pronounced fruity-citrus character and a pleasant spice of coriander. By the way, brewers recommend serving it with an orange slice — this way you can feel the whole gamut of flavors. To create a drink, in addition to the already mentioned citruses, brewers use white wheat, malted barley, oats and coriander. Because of the grains in Blue Moon, it’s definitely not worth trying for people with gluten allergies, but for everyone else, it can even benefit - the drink has potassium, protein and antioxidants. And all this is in addition to endorphins, which will definitely be developed after tasting. According to public opinion polls, Blue Moon is almost the most favorite beer of Americans. In the states of Oregon and Maryland, it has no equal at all - the vast majority of residents confirmed that they prefer the original witbeer to any other variety. Experts are also unanimous: Blue Moon consistently wins medals at world beer championships, and in 1995 it was recognized as the best in its category. Blue Moon goes well with light snacks and fish and seafood dishes. You can try it almost everywhere - beer restaurants love this variety for its versatility, accessibility and loyal value. We love Blue Moon too — and we are happy to offer you to try the legendary American beer in the Lambic brasserie chain. Come - the Blue Moon is already calling!

Beer lovers are divided into two categories: some believe that there is nothing better than filtered beers, while others believe that only unfiltered beers are truly delicious. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle, but there really is a difference between filtered and unfiltered beer, and not just in taste. Read more about production As a rule, the process of making drinks of the same family, both filtered and unfiltered, is the same in the first stages. Purification allows to remove the sediment formed during the fermentation process, and the number of such filtrations is left to the brewer's discretion - depending on the recipe and the desired final result. Filtered beer undergoes 2 to 3 levels of purification, including filter carton, which removes even the smallest "garbage" from the drink. Unfiltered beer also passes through special equipment, but only once, and the degree of purification is low. Pros and cons of filtering The main argument in favor of purification is the versatility and predictability of the final product. Filtered beer does not give off offensive flavors, because all living bacteria and yeast cells are removed from it as much as possible, it is stored longer and is guaranteed to meet all the expectations of customers. The situation with unfiltered beer is more complicated. As a rule, it is not suitable for mass distribution, it is highly sensitive to temperature changes because it contains live yeast, it loses flavor and aroma rather quickly even if all the storage conditions are observed. To put it simply, unfiltered beer is a perishable product that must be treated with great care. But that, according to connoisseurs, is its main advantage. Unfiltered beers are more "alive" and therefore healthier for the body. Studies confirm this - the content of vital vitamins in unfiltered beer is 10 times higher than in processed beer. It is impossible to say unequivocally which beer is better - both beers have their advantages. Fans of filtered beer note a variety of varieties and a long shelf life, unfiltered beer - the benefits for the body and a richer taste. At Lambic Beer Restaurant, we offer you to try both variants and make your own choice. Or find your favorite drink of each family to get the maximum benefits and enjoyment. We offer hundreds of varieties from the best Belgian producers, and we'll help you find a beer that's sure to please your palate. Come on in!

Even those who do not often eat fruit in its natural form encounter it one way or another in other dishes. Fruit combines surprisingly with meat, complements sauces, becomes the highlight of salads - in a word, it's easy to list where they are not. And beer is not left aside - on the basis of fruits and berries are brewed many amazing varieties, affecting the taste and aroma even the most distinguished species. No, we are not talking about store-bought drinks with dubious content - real fruit beer is refined and noble, despite the deliberate sweetness of the fruit. What is its secret? History of appearance It is believed that the first fruit beer was brewed in ancient Egypt. But it was in Belgium that it began to be brewed on a regular basis. The appearance of the new taste was provoked by too abundant harvest - local brewers didn't know where to put the extra fruit, so they decided to add it to the beer as an experiment. Today the fruits are mixed with many kinds of beer, but their taste is best revealed in tandem with wheat beer or ale. The finished drink is not particularly strong (from 3 to 6%), but it boasts a beautiful color - in line with the fruit that was added to it. Popular Styles Most often fruits and berries are mixed with lambic. This style of beer is brewed by spontaneous fermentation - the wort is left in open vats, where "wild" yeast - microorganisms that are in the air - is introduced. It is believed that the most suitable bacteria for lambic are found only in the valley of the river Senna, so this ale is considered a traditional Belgian invention. A variety of fruits are added to the finished lambic, which harmonize with the taste of the beer itself - sour and tart. The most popular Belgian fruit beer in the lambic family is the cherry Kriek. Only Morello cherries (there may be other variations, but they are not the original beverage) grown in the vicinity of the capital, Brussels, are used to make it. The fruit and pips are added to the already fermented mixture before being filtered, and then the whole mixture is left to mature for six months until the beer has finally matured. Cherries are also used to make rue. The only thing that makes it similar to Kriek is the berry in its composition, but in other respects the production process is fundamentally different: when making rue, cherry liqueur is added to the strong ale. The result is an original beer with a fruity taste and high strength, but at the same time it is very easy and pleasant to drink. If you mix old and young lambic, you get Gueuze, another popular type of fruit beer. Gueuze on its own has an original, dry, sour taste, but when combined with fruit, it is even more memorable. To taste this and other fruit-based beers, come to the beer restaurant We'll find something to surprise you!
