The new restaurant GASTROPORT has recently opened in Perm, Russian Federation. Designed by Artemy Saranin of ALLARTSDESIGN studio, in collaboration with restaurateur Boris Kulinskiy, this unique dining destination offers a harmonious blend of Japanese and Peruvian gastronomy.
Location and Ambiance
Scenic Setting
Situated on the bank of the Kama River, GASTROPORT boasts panoramic windows that offer breathtaking views, especially during the evening sunset. The restaurant’s location adds to its charm, providing an idyllic backdrop for its exceptional cuisine.
Design Elements
The interior design of GASTROPORT is grounded in three key materials: wood, cement, and brick. These elements create a space that is both modern and inviting, with a significant industrial footprint. The design highlights the architectural features of the newly renovated Perm river port shop, integrating them seamlessly into the restaurant’s aesthetic.
Interior Layout
Active Zones
GASTROPORT is divided into multiple active zones, including a dining room, an open kitchen, a bar, and a mezzanine. The high ceiling of the main room contrasts with other projects by ALLARTSDESIGN, providing a sense of spaciousness. A central staircase leads to the mezzanine, enhancing the room’s dynamic layout.
Unique Features
The bathroom area is separated by a fashionable strip and features door handles made from whole northern birch. The walls are adorned with a patchwork of ship materials, adding a nautical touch to the interior. The entrance, painted in salmon color, hints at the Japanese culinary influences in Peruvian cuisine. Additionally, the bar and kitchen are constructed from solid birch sourced from the northern region, further emphasizing the restaurant’s unique character.
Culinary Experience
Fusion Cuisine
GASTROPORT specializes in Nikkei cuisine, a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian culinary traditions. This style emerged when Japanese immigrants settled in Peru in the late 19th century, blending their culinary techniques with local ingredients. The result is a vibrant and diverse menu that features fresh fish paired with Peruvian staples like corn, sweet potato, lime, and aji pepper.
Signature Dishes
The menu at GASTROPORT reflects the rich culinary heritage of both cultures. Diners can enjoy dishes inspired by the renowned Japanese chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, who popularized Nikkei cuisine worldwide. The restaurant’s offerings promise to delight both gourmet enthusiasts and casual diners alike.
Conclusion
GASTROPORT, designed by ALLARTSDESIGN in Perm, offers a unique dining experience that combines the best of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. With its stunning location, thoughtfully designed interior, and innovative menu, GASTROPORT is set to become a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
