Китайская грамота. Бар и Еда» на Сретенке — это первый и самый титулованный проект холдинга «Рестораны Раппопорта»:
Совершенно новая для столицы концепция была придумана как будто вопреки всем существующим стереотипам, но так полюбилась гостям и критикам, что ресторан быстро собрал внушительную коллекцию профессиональных наград: выбор «Афиши» «Лучшее в Москве» 2014, лучший ресторан Menu.ru в номинации «Меню года» 2014, гран-при XI Московского гастрономического фестиваля 2015, премия Time Out Москва в номинации «Лучшая мини-сеть» 2016. Именно за эту концепцию автор идеи и владелец Александр Раппопорт в 2014 году был удостоен звания «Ресторатор года» по версии журнала «GQ Russia».
В основе меню «Китайской грамоты» — кантонская, она же гуандунская кухня, самая распространенная версия китайской кухни за пределами Поднебесной и пока всё еще малоизвестная в Москве. Удивительно разнообразные с точки зрения вкуса, но при этом сбалансированные блюда, стремительно приготовленные на раскалённом огненном воке и сдобренные свежей зеленью. Бренд-шеф Сюй Лей и шеф-повар Чжан Сяньчэн предлагают меню, сплошь составленное из гастрономических хитов: многие гости специально приезжают сюда на салат из битых огурцов с кинзой и кешью, хрустящие баклажаны с помидорами, утку по-пекински, томленые утиные язычки, деликатесные чёрные утиные яйца, куриные лапки четырёх видов, прозрачные дим-самы и десерт жареное молоко.

Restaurant
Chinese Grammar. Bar and Food is a stylish, modern Cantonese restaurant with an original bar menu. It was for this project that its creator, Alexander Rappoport, was named Restaurateur of the Year in 2014 by GQ magazine.
The menu is based on Cantonese cuisine, the most widespread Chinese cuisine outside of China. Its distinctive feature is the achievement of phenomenal taste results with minimal heat treatment and very limited use of sauces. Particular attention is paid to the nutritional value of the ingredients and their compatibility, with seemingly minor details such as the order in which the ingredients are added and their correct combination, including color, being of great importance. Chef Zhang Xianchen of Chinese Grammar, a representative of one of the most famous Cantonese schools, Guangzhou, has given classic masterpieces a modern twist.
The combination of a bar and Chinese cuisine is not new to Moscow, but whereas previously it mainly referred to a club or bar with a slight Chinese theme, now we are talking about a full-fledged Chinese restaurant. The bar’s concept is the exact opposite of the culinary one and is completely multinational. Its main idea is to create a sophisticated abundance of alcohol with an emphasis on refined simplicity, diversity, and quality.
The interior was designed by the talented Diana Generalova. With remarkable taste and elegance, she managed to combine the seemingly incompatible: the interior of a classic English pub with sculptures from the Han and Tang dynasties, art objects from the Cultural Revolution, and contemporary Chinese art.

Events
We invite you to try Hogo!
Hogo, hot pot, or Chinese samovar, is both a dish and a method of cooking, as well as a way of spending time with friends and family.
Hogo is a traditional Chinese meal that has existed for over two thousand years.
The most interesting part is the process of preparing hogo. Each participant at the feast decides for themselves what to try and how long to cook it: food is added to the samovar with chopsticks. The temperature of the broth can be adjusted, and the finished ingredients can be eaten separately or tried with the broth in the form of soup.
Hogo at Chinese Grammar is served for four guests (7,000 rubles) and is only available on weekends from 12:00 to 22:00, when you can take your time and enjoy it with your loved ones and family.
This offer is valid at the restaurant on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 22:00.
15 meals × 15 days × 15 yuan
Rappoport’s restaurants are repeating their grand event in honor of Chinese New Year and the birthday of the restaurant “Chinese Grammar”: last year, this event was a real gastronomic triumph, with huge queues forming outside the restaurants and visitors able to sample Cantonese cuisine at an incredible price.
More than 4,000 dim sum dishes and over 1,000 portions of “fried milk” were sold!
From February 3 to 21, for 15 days, the Chinese Grammar restaurants on Sretenka and in Barvikha are once again inviting guests to celebrate the holiday with a unique offer: 15 main dishes for 15 yuan (US$2.20) each.
