My dearest,

Are you ready to hear an amazing story of our restaurant?

In 2012, Mari Vanna’s opens in a historic townhouse in the heart of London. Mari Vanna London is nestled in a cozy townhouse in the heart of London and is the chicest of all locations with an abundance of crystal chandeliers, Louis XVI chairs, and genuine Russian decor.

Just take a look at the pictures from our restaurant in London. Which one do you like best?

With Love, Maria Ivanovna

Are you acquainted with the ancient super grain, a favorite of all Russian babushka’s - the almighty buckwheat? Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is thus gluten-free.

Not only that but the amino acids protein buckwheat is a substitute for meat, it has liver and intestinal detoxification properties and is an antiinflammatory food. Ir is also an environmentally friendly product.

PS we have a secret ingredient in ours, can you guess what it is?

I have been so busy with the restaurant and my grandkids, now that they are on summer vacation, that I have not written about Mari Vanna’s story in a while.

So where were we. Oh yes, as you remember, after my home could no longer accommodate my guests, we opened my tiny first restaurant in what used to be a ground-floor historic apartment in the heart of St. Petersburg. It wasn't long before my children, some of whom live in Moscow, and visitors from the capital started pestering me that they need Mari Vanna in Moscow.

I am not a young lady, and at first, I was scared and hesitant as this seemed a big and serious endeavor. My biggest fear was to lose touch with my guests, to become a generic restaurant. But I was lucky to have the support of my friends, family, and a growing team, who ensured me that Mari Vanna will always be true to its soul.

And so, Mari Vanna Moscow was born. Nestled in the cozy little space on Malaya Bronnaya, I chose to fill this space with the esthetic and feel of Moscow. It was here that I decided that everywhere we go, we will pay homage not only to our soul and culture but that of the locals. And of course, it became the home of Shurik, our chihuahua, and Venya (Benjamin) our British Blue cat. And boy did they become instant celebrities! They basked in guests' love and attention and became a bit of a social media sensation. Venya is still here, so make sure to give him some smetana next time you visit.

Unfortunately, I have to run, my pie is ready and I have a few hungry eyes eagerly awaiting to taste the fruits of my labor. I promise to tell you more soon. Until the next time, take care and be safe!

With Love, Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
I am so excited to see our beloved city filling up with visitors and tourists. With museums open and summer vacations in full force, the streets are alive once again.

Personally, culture is a huge part of my life and I missed being able to go to galleries, museums, and shows terribly during the pandemic.

So now that I have finished decorating our summer terrace, I am planning to treat myself to a day of culture. Any advice on where I should head?

Wth love, Maria Ivanovna

In Georgia, food is quite a fitting expression for the culture. If you visit Georgia and ask the locals which specific dish you should try foremost, the first shout out will be “Oh, you eat Khinkali ”
Hard to pronounce but delicious to eat. Khinkali can be described as giant dumplings!

Firstly, you hold the ‘crown’ (typically not eaten) of the Khinkali with your right hand, and lift the bottom part with your left hand, so it’s upside down. Slowly and carefully, bite a small hole in the Khinkali and drink the delicious juice inside. Then bite in and enjoy the rest!

Come and try delicious Eastern European cuisine.

Warmth and light, buzzing bumblebees, wheat ears and grasses,
Azure skies — of high summer the birth…
To his prodigal son will the Lord say: «Confess, pray —
Have you known true contentment on earth?»

And forgetting all else save the golden and endless
Fields of wheat, the sereneness and peace,
I will weep, and, my words choked by sweet tears of gladness,
Thankful fall at those merciful knees.

1918
Ivan Bunin
Translated by Irina Zheleznova

И цветы, и шмели, и трава, и колосья,
И лазурь, и полуденный зной...
Срок настанет - господь сына блудного спросит:
Был ли счастлив ты в жизни земной?
И забуду я все - вспомню только вот эти
Полевые пути меж колосьев и трав -
И от сладостных слез не успею ответить...

1918
