The waiters reported that Kirkorov loves to order dumplings with Russian cheese and strawberries.
The 58-year-old Russian musician is back in the saddle. After the funeral of his father and a prolonged hospital stay, the artist is preparing for a grand anniversary that he will celebrate in 2027.
The upcoming 2026 year is considered a dress rehearsal by the Primadonna of the domestic pop scene. Next year, Philipp Kirkorov will turn 60, which he speaks about with pride and without any regrets. "I am preparing something special. For now, I decided to do a dress rehearsal for the anniversary at large concerts in the Live Arena in 2026 — to gather all the most iconic hits from 40 years into one show. To look at some songs in a new way," Kirkorov shared his plans, having previously commented on his illegitimate daughter.
When asked by journalists about his rider, Philipp Bedrosovich answered straightforwardly. According to the former husband of Alla Pugacheva, before a concert, he prefers not to indulge in delicacies and alcohol, otherwise the quality of the announced show may suffer significantly.
The artist's list of requirements, when it comes to food and drinks, is extremely concise. The modest requests of the legend will surely surprise the favorite of all women, Stas Mikhailov, who, in addition to kefir, wishes to see black caviar, meat and fish platters, as well as Hennessy cognac, Ruinart Blanc de Blanc or Rosé champagne in his dressing room.
"My rider compared to some of the pretensions of my colleagues is just flowers. What should it have? Sandwiches are a must — with doctor’s sausage, cheese, and marshmallows. I can’t eat before the concert. I have to go on stage hungry. That’s how an artist should perform — it’s a law," Philipp Kirkorov shared in a recent interview.
It should be noted that Kirkorov is not particularly picky about food: he often mentions that he enjoys trying haute cuisine dishes when he has the opportunity, but he also occasionally indulges in fast food. Since the tight schedule of rehearsals, filming, and performances rarely allows him to spend time in expensive restaurants, Kirkorov often has to eat literally "on the go," and among his favorite dishes, he names quite familiar homemade meals that are often served for lunch in almost every ordinary family.
In Sochi, there is a dumpling place that Philipp Kirkorov once favored, and since then he visits whenever he can. Initially, the staff of the establishment was shocked and flattered by the singer's visit, but over time, the star artist began to visit the café regularly — they served very tasty dumplings here. The waiters reported that Kirkorov loves to order dumplings with Russian cheese and strawberries, and he often chooses potatoes with mushrooms, sausages in dough, and potato pies from the menu.
The famous artist's favorite dessert is ordinary donuts with powdered sugar, made according to a simple Soviet recipe. Besides dumplings, Kirkorov loves when home-cooked potatoes with mushrooms are baked in the oven with cheese and garlic, pork ribs with bell peppers, mushroom soup, and regular chicken noodle soup. And, of course, borscht as well.
Kirkorov's favorite dessert is the most ordinary donuts sprinkled with powdered sugar, made according to a simple Soviet recipe. In addition to donuts, the singer adores Napoleon cake and ice cream.
