Perhaps, for the first time in many years, a country restaurant has appeared near St. Petersburg - “Summer Palace”, which is made according to all the stylistic canons of the Baroque era. And despite the fact that everything is done from scratch (including the facade), it does not look like a remake. “In the Summer Palace,” says the author of the project Ivan Knyazev- There are architectural motifs of the famous 18th century master Antonio Rinaldi, who worked in the era of Russian baroque. There is an English theme. For example, the central part of the entrance portal is modeled on the Palladio Palace. ” Two large rooms - Pink and Picturesque - are decorated with wall paintings and sculptures, as was customary in the era of classicism: there is a triad of Venus, Mars and Fortuna, bas-reliefs of Bacchus and Flora, caryatids ... In the Summer Palace and the corresponding menu. The chef of the restaurant, Mikhail Dmitriev, who prepared dishes for Jacques Chirac, Vladimir Putin, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Prince Michael of Kent, offers about 200 names of dishes of high Russian cuisine. For example, you should try a starlet on a boat made of rye bread, decorated with crayfish, lime and olives, lamb side with buckwheat porridge, ham, baked in Demidov style, homemade ham roll with sauerkraut, july of guinea fowl, white mushrooms and morels. And be sure to try the gooseberry lemonade. You will not regret.
