The story
GreenSide introduces a refined approach to Jiangsu and Zhejiang cooking in Moscow. The kitchen follows the twenty-four solar terms to align every service with natural harvest cycles. Spring vegetables arrive when they are most tender while summer river fish mark the height of the warm months. This commitment to timing defines the seasonal cuisine served here.
The menu draws inspiration from the interplay between freshwater systems and coastal waters. Chefs prioritize ingredients harvested from specific watersheds and mountain ranges. Produce travels directly from trusted growers to the pass. This method keeps flavors clean and true to the regional cuisine practiced at the table.
The dining room encourages measured meals that match the deliberate pace of the kitchen. Guests encounter dishes built around single ingredients rather than heavy sauces. The Black Pearl Restaurant Guide awarded GreenSide one diamond in 2026 for maintaining this disciplined approach. Each plate arrives prepared with clear intent and quiet confidence.

History
Fresh in the water, tasty on the shore, the fragrance can be smelled from ten miles away. The ingredients from the water and shore within ten miles mainly come from one sea, two rivers, three lakes, and four mountains. "Water" refers to the East China Sea in the sea, the Qiantang River and Fuchun River in the two rivers, and Yangcheng Lake, Taihu Lake, and Qiandao Lake in the three lakes. While the "shore" represents the four mountains, Tianmu Mountain, Moganshan, Tiantai Mountain, and Yandang Mountain. The delicacy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang lies in the seasonality. In Tianmu Mountain, we pick spring vegetables; in Fuchun River, we catch river fish in summer; at Xiangshan Port by the East China Sea, we harvest seafood in autumn; and by Dongqian Lake, we enjoy the abundance of winter. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each season has its own charm. Guided by the 24 solar terms, we eat in harmony with the seasons, which is also the operational feature of the water and shore.
