Petersburg is a constant hero of all kinds of ranks: best panoramic restaurants, the most picturesque roofs and the most mysterious palaces. But where could a constantly busy with work person or a student working on a dissertation go? All in all where can you settle down with a laptop and get in a working mood? I’ll share with you my favorite places for productive and comfortable pastime.
1. Hamlet + Jacks
Volynskiy per., 2
Restaurant with a signature menu, hidden near the main Mecca of Petersburg’s glamour – DLT Trading House. The place is perfect for business meetings and contemplation of the moderate pace of life in the Northern capital. Huge windows, soft light, lots of unobtrusive but pleasant details and barely hearable speech of foreigners – arm yourself with a notebook and do not forget to book a table.
2. Bonch Cafe
Bolshaya Morskaya ul., 16
This is definitely a place of the force. I bet, if you come here you will for sure meet someone from the Setters team, writing something on their laptops! The coffee shop is located near a couple of universities, so a working atmosphere is guarantied. Ideas are discussed in every corner, tables are covered with cups of coffee and overheated laptops. Order an aromatic cappuccino and get acquainted with the desert card. Sweets encourage the work of the brain cells!
3. Civil Books Coffee & Wine
nab. Reki Fontanki, 20
Got tired of sitting in the office or, even worse, working behind a kitchen table? Go to Civil Books & Wine coffee shop, located on the second floor of the trendy “Golitsyn Loft”. Relax in a XVIII century armchair, order a big cup of coffee and a fresh croissant – trust me, your working process will get easier! Pleasant bonus – you can also enjoy a breathtaking view of Saint Michael's Castle.
4. Coffee shop in book store “Podpisnye izdanija”
Liteynyy pr., 57
What could be more pleasant that diving into work surrounded by book shelves? Especially if those are shelves of the oldest book store of Petersburg! Grab some inspiring books, order cocoa and be prepared to work with an accompaniment of crinkling pages. The main thing is to track down an empty seat!
5. Tartarbar
Vilenskiy per., 15
You need to hold an important meeting, surprise and inspire your interlocutor? Fell free to go to beautiful Tartarbar! You’ve probably been there already, or at least heard about this place. There is a reason why this restaurant is one of the main heroes of all kinds of gastro-ratings and is favored even by the most categorical critics.
