I learned that in Moscow you can try SUPERTORTS. I could not resist and ate 3 desserts at a time.
Before quarantine, I wrote reviews of places to try desserts quite often. But during self-isolation, everything was closed, and ordering delivery is not the same feeling.
In Moscow, self-isolation is over, and I'm going to taste desserts. The first place I got to was the Zhemchuga cafe-confectionery.
The confectionery is located on the territory of the DEPO gastromarket, where, in addition to it, there are many other interesting places. I'll tell you about them another time, but now I propose to look at the Pearl cafe from the side.
In other grocery stores, everything is usually arranged so that you can buy food in the place you like and sit where you want. But here Zhemchugov has a small fenced space inside, as well as places with free seating outside. Let's show how it looks from the inside.
To place an order, you must first decide on the choice, inform the waiter and then pay at the checkout. The left side of the island is reserved for desserts, the right for coffee and drinks.
It's time to see what you can eat here.Desserts are divided into 3 groups. On the left are architectural desserts made for the cafe by the famous confectioner Dinara Kasko. They look really futuristic. The prices may seem high to some, but just take a look at these works of art, they cannot be cheap.
In the center there is a showcase with SUPERTORTS. Only 3 cakes, but see how big they are. I tried several times to count the number of cakes in the honey cake, but got confused. The prices are affordable, and it is very convenient that you can ask to make a portion larger or smaller.
On the right is a showcase with eclairs and pies. Eclairs have 4 flavors: pistachio, chocolate, vanilla and hazelnuts. All eclairs have a single price - 250 rubles. But there is only one pie, strawberry. It's time to try.
I decided to try one dessert from each group.
Macadamia tartlet Is something. It has a crispy shortbread base, a delicate caramel filling and a light cream on top.
Eclair Hazelnut. An excellent combination of cream, crispy roasted hazelnuts and chocolate glaze.
As a SUPERTORT I chose a honey cake and made the right decision. The cakes are so tender that they literally melt in your mouth. This is a bomb. It's time to summarize.
I liked the confectionery. I was there for a meeting and did not really have time to shoot and see everything in detail. As for the desserts, they are delicious. And the only thing I didn't like was that Pearl's pastry shop is too far from my house and I can't come here regularly.
