The space in two floors, hidden behind the walls of the house number 26, which is on Tverskoy Boulevard, was made out a little less than five years, and the restaurant project itself was created more than six years. It is worth saying that the mansion in which the restaurant "Turandot" is located before the beginning of construction work was a pile of bricks and concrete. Only the facade of the building remained intact, recalling the long past of this house. And there is something to remember! In 1799 the mansion was bought by the favorite of Catherine II herself, the famous rich man, Adjutant General Ivan Rimsky-Korsakov. Then the house became a school of the stage movement, it taught good manners and dances. And already in our century the transformed building became a restaurant with an unusual name "Turandot".
