From January 5, 2025 to January 15, 2025
As a young chef, Artem Estafiev honed his craft at Michelin-starred restaurants in St. Petersburg, Barcelona and Paris, including the famed Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée and Le Meurice Alain Ducasse. When the esteemed restaurateur Arkady Novikov tasted his dishes, he was deeply impressed by his talents, immediately inviting him to be part of a joint project, which he named ‘Artest’ after the first letters of the chef’s name.
Their combined vision for Artest has redefined fine dining in Moscow, connecting the perception of gastronomy with nature. As the executive chef, Artem works closely with local farmers and herbalists, and has a state-of-the-art lab to develop new dishes, ferment the restaurant’s own vinegars and miso, and mature fruits and vegetables to create exciting new flavours. In 2022, Artest’s Chef’s Table was awarded two stars by Russia’s Michelin Guide.
