GIMNAZIYA
Gimnaziya (“Private School”) is a traditional upper-class restaurant softened-off to the rhythm of
the modern city – something that’s seen in both its décor and its menu options. The high ceilings,
large windows and huge galleried dining-room lend a spacious and airy atmosphere.
The elegant, luxurious, yet simultaneously comfortable and enjoyable interiors, the superlative
European cuisine and attentive service are what bring our clients back again and again.
Gimnaziya is located in the very heart of the Old City Centre, on the beautiful Konnogvardeysky
(“Horse-Guards”) Boulevard – just a few short steps from the main sights of St. Petersburg such
as the Hermitage, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the Bronze Horseman, and the Mariinsky Theatre.

CHIN-CHIN CAFÉ
The most remarkable thing about Chin-Chin Cafe is its magnificent location – in the historic Old
City, with views of the River Neva, the river confluence at Vasilyevsky Island, and the Peter &
Paul Fortress. The cafe is located on Mytninskaya Embankment, and guests can admire the
Winter Palace and Palace Bridge from the windows as they dine.
In contrast to the stern and severe architecture of St. Petersburg, the interior décor of the ChinChin Cafe is characterised by delicacy and warmth – diners find themselves surrounded by silk,
wall-hangings, and silk. Eschewing glitz and bling, the cafe’s timber floors and ceilings, and the
similarly neutral and natural timbres of the furnishings soon win their way to your heart. There’s
an almost fantastical and mysterious feeling – perhaps conjured up by the subtle floor-lanterns,
the carved Oriental-style niches, and other elements that catch the visitor’s interest. Carved
wooden columns stand at the entrance to the dining-hall – in a style known as ‘colonial baroque’,
that’s neither north, nor south, nor east, nor west – but an authentically unusual eclectic fusion.
The respectability of Chin-Chin Cafe shuns pompous ceremony and artificial glamour. Here you
can relax – perhaps more so than at home. This haven at the heart of St. Petersburg allows you to
shut out the bustle of daily life entirely, and enjoy warm conversation with your friends over an
unhurried meal.

GUSTO
GUSTO is a little corner of Italy in the heart of St. Petersburg – sought out by lovers of fine wine
and food, served in the restaurant’s warm and welcoming atmosphere. The main draw for guests
at GUSTO is the menu of traditional Italian classic dishes alongside the special culinary
creations of Head Chef Fabrizio Fatucci. The well-chosen wine list complements the menu
perfectly, with excellent wine suggestions for each of the dishes in the chef’s wide repertoire.
Gusto has the largest wine selection in St. Petersburg to be offered using ‘Enomatic’ technology
– making more than 48 choice wines available by the glass, in the finest condition – even if 2–3
weeks may elapse before the bottle is finished, the wine retains its just-opened quality. This
technology is also of aid to connoisseurs who may like to try a 25-ml sample glass before
ordering the bottle of their choice.

THE KITCHEN
With its deliberately understated name, The Kitchen didn’t stint itself when it came to offering
what any hostess would love to offer in her own kitchen – a mixture of different culinary genres
prepared with originality, and presented in an interior thought-out to the last detail. It all creates
a trendy touch that brings guests back again and again – and it’s different every time. Today you
might call by with a largish contingent of friends, to sit on their massive sofas and enjoy
delicious linguine with crab and red caviar. But tomorrow you might come back again for a
romantic supper for two, sit on a Byron-style chair, and tuck into a tasty salad of baked pumpkin
and goat’s cheese, with honey and mandarin dressing. Then next time you might perch on a
comfy bar-stool to taste the unusual combination of king prawns with aubergines.
European, Russian, Italian and Asiatic cuisines are all to be found at The Kitchen – and each
cuisine has its own specialist chef, so you can be sure of getting the authentic taste of each.
They’re served in generous portions, with an attention to detail that pervades every aspect of the
service at The Kitchen. There are few who can resist the temptation of ending their meal with
one of the delicious desserts – succulent éclairs, light and fluffy cheesecake, melt-in-the-mouth
fruit jellies are all on offer at the delicious confectionery counter.
