In the early days, my German boyfriend and I went to Moscow for his birthday. We looked at the city, took pictures on the Red Square and decided to go to a restaurant and have dinner. Although the restaurant and recommended me in advance, the table we did not book. They came spontaneously. The restaurant was full, but after a short wait we found a cozy table for two at the window. On the occasion of the holiday, we decided to order a bottle of wine in addition to food. The waitress asked me to show my papers. I showed my driver’s license and my young man showed his German passport. The waitress, seeing my boyfriend’s birthday today, in English (!!!) I greeted him and asked him!!!It is possible to give him a piece of cake as a gift at the expense of the institution. Of course, we did not refuse. But, frankly, they were skeptical about this proposal - they will definitely forget or still write in the account. We somehow didn’t believe in a crazy cake, but we relaxed and just our dinner.

When we ate and looked at how we got to the hotel, we forgot about the cake. The people in the restaurant were just added, the waiters were dressed over and over, and I just can’t imagine how they had time and remembered everything. And here, quite unexpectedly for us, our waiter went to our table with a plate on which a large piece of cake with a festive candle was painted. We were surprised. Especially my young man. I haven’t seen anything like this in any restaurant in Europe. The waiter once again polently congratulated him on his birthday and even said a few wishes. Everything is in English and very friendly. The cake was beautiful and incredibly delicious. It’s been almost a year, but we still remember that stunning cherry cake and a very nice waitress.

On the next trip to Moscow we will definitely go to that restaurant (hopefully it will not close because of the coronavirus) and buy this cake. By the way, thanks to a polite waitress, my young man is convinced that Russia has the best service in the world. Of course, he tells his friends about it if possible and recommends that restaurant in Moscow. I am pleased to have such a good impression of my homeland.
