Ivan Berezutsky

Coming Up

A staged period at El Bulli gave Ivan Berezutsky an early reference point in disciplined kitchen work, placing him inside a kitchen closely tracked by the trade and setting the terms for what followed. The next defining stretch came at Twins Garden in Moscow, where Berezutsky served as co-founder and co-leader from 2014–2023. Those years were the core of the build: sustained service, repeated refinement, and the slow fixing of a restaurant identity to his name. Today, Ivan is chef of Twins Garden, still carrying that same operational focus through the room.

Where They Are Now

Modern Russian cuisine is the register Ivan Berezutsky is associated with at Twins Garden in Moscow. The restaurant remains the main expression of his point of view, where contemporary Russian flavors and technique are worked through a single kitchen rather than spread across multiple concepts. In that setting, the name Ivan Berezutsky is tied to a practice that has been shaped over time and continues to define how the restaurant is read.

In Their Words “It's the favourite moment of my professional life.” “It's a fantastic moment for Moscow.” The phrasing is direct, and the trade reading is clear: one line points to a peak in working life, the other to a city in motion around the restaurant. Taken together, the quotes frame Ivan Berezutsky as someone measuring progress not only by personal output, but by the conditions around the kitchen and the moment it occupies.

Honors

Two Michelin stars mark Ivan Berezutsky's level of recognition. The stars confirm the level at which the kitchen has been judged, while the harder work remains in the daily consistency that keeps a restaurant associated with one name and one way of cooking.
