Moscow · Patriarch's Ponds
A Basque-school steakhouse with a live fire, from Mikhail Gokhner, creator of the legendary El Gaucho.
OMA brings together the philosophy of the Basque school and the temperament of South American fire.
The dry-ageing cabinets stand right in the dining room and are part of the open gastronomic concept.
Provenance and quality of the product. The focus is the Atlantic: the Basque Country, Galicia, Argentina, Uruguay. The historical ties between these regions shaped a shared culture of working with meat and fire. We cook whole primal cuts, fish on the bone, local and seasonal produce, keeping their natural flavour.
The Basque school and the asador technique. Gentle control of the fire, “grey embers”, no aggressive flame, respect for texture. Fire does not mask the product, it reveals it. A minimum of ingredients. A maximum of concentration in flavour.
An open kitchen, the rhythm of live fire, the dense energy of the dining room. Here guests see the process, smell the smoke and hear the grill at work.

OMA is two spaces with different characters and a shared language of restrained luxury. The interior is by designer Zhenya Uzhegova: no visual noise, light that singles out the table, music that stays in the background and never interrupts conversation. The main hall resembles a gentlemen's club: a coffered wooden ceiling, a stone pattern on the floor and a collection of paintings. The private room is intimate: a large table for 10 guests and walls painted from Zhenya Uzhegova's sketches. The plate pattern was designed by Ilya Kiselev, inspired by a journey to the Basque Country.
Wine is a full partner to the fire here. The list is deep, with an emphasis on great reds: Super Tuscans, Bordeaux, Burgundy, the cult wines of the New World.
