White Rabbit
White Rabbit is a rooftop restaurant and bar on the 16th floor of Smolensky Passage in Moscow, surrounded by panoramic glass windows that frame views of the entire city. The interior combines luxurious furnishings with playful design touches, including velvet seating, curved booths, and an extensive bar stocked with wines and inventively crafted drinks.
The restaurant opened in 2012 and quickly became recognized as one of Russia's finest dining establishments and a respected global destination. Its development reflects Chef Vladimir Mukhin's mission to honor centuries-old Russian recipes while incorporating modern European cooking techniques.
The name White Rabbit references Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, and this connection shapes how visitors experience the place. Playful details like rabbit paintings and creatively named drinks based on the story are woven into how people use and remember the space.
Making a reservation ahead of time is recommended, especially on weekends and holidays, as tables fill up quickly. Hours vary throughout the week, with opening times at midday or later and closing around midnight or later on weekends, particularly during summer months.
The private elevator is designed to feel like a walk through a forest, priming visitors for the themed experience the moment they board. Some dishes feature interactive elements that can be scanned with a smartphone app to reveal special visual effects, transforming the meal into an unexpected surprise.
