Will atmosphere feed you?
#Saint-Petersburg

Lifestyle blogger Nika Bukreeva (@nika_bukreeva) literally won us over with her feminine and tender shots on Instagram. Moreover, our heroine totally knows how to food-style, it is possible to paint still lifes from her “restaurant sketches”. Nika spoke with us about the most stylish restaurants and bars where you can not only take a selfie, but also have a pretty decent dinner or even -this one is truly a bonus!- a drink.

Co-op Garage

Gorokhovaya ul., 47

In one of the savoury arches, behind the black locked gates hides probably one of the most authentic Petersburg’s bars with an open yard, and an industrial area with pool tables and cool rock music. Fashionable, atmospheric, unique.


Tretij Klaster

8-ya Sovetskaya ul., 4

Another old Petersburg yard where creatively-gastronomic space just happens to appear. Inside, the walls of the building are covered with graffiti from floor to floor. In the summer you can find wine and cocktail bars, trendy street-food, and live music. It is a perfect place for cozy, late-night chats!


Solaris Lab

per. Pirogova, 18

Cozy coffee shop Solaris– with geometric windows, nice music, and a mysterious atmosphere: you can find a great view of the Petersburg roofs from visiting Pirogova alleyway, which is located under the dome of an old mansion. On the way upstairs, you can enjoy art-installations placed along the stairwell, and maybe find some inspiration!


Mishka bar

nab. Reki Fontanki, 40

The symbol of Petersburg at night, a legendary place for crazy dance lovers. Come here on a Friday or Saturday, order a “Boyarskij” shot or “Lisichka-long,” and feel free to dance. This place has great energy!


Golitsyn Loft

nab. Reki Fontanki, 20

Petersburg is known for its elegant palaces and mansions. One of them, located on the bank of Fontanka River with a view of Saint Michael's Castle, is starting to develop into a creative center with clusters of cafes, bars, and restaurants- each more unique than the other. It is a place where a golden MacBook Air could be laying on a redwood table. My favorite places here are: time-café “Ciferburg” and Civil Books Coffee & Wine coffee shop.


Umao

Konnogvardeyskiy b-r, 11

Small pan-Asian restaurant on Konnogvardeyskiy boulevard (close to Saint Isaac's Cathedral and the Bronze Horseman). Here you can try the tastiest tom yum, which is second to none even to those that are served in the best Tai restaurants! Plus, they also have a cozy atmosphere, great music, and friendly service… True Petersburg-ish place for friends and loved ones!


Contour Creative Space

Aptekarskiy pr., 4

Located near the Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, which may remind you of Hogwarts because of its distinct towers. There are dozens of spaces- from co-worker centers to photo studios. But you should go straight to the 4th floor and enjoy your perfect cup of cappuccino in the non-trivial atmosphere of Coffee3 coffee shop, with huge panoramic windows that overlook a view of the Botanic Garden.


Ulica Kontejnernaya in Loft Project "Etazhi"

Ligovsky Ave, 74

After walking along “Etazhi” and feeling all of the power of modern art, go to Kontejnernaya ulica. It is a unique place not only for Petersburg but for the whole of Russia. Cafes, hookah bars, and shops are cozily nested in maritime transport containers. It will be interesting for not only burger lovers, but also for healthy-diet followers.


BONUS:

Under the arch on ul. Belinskogo, 9, behind the door on the right, there are couple of unique places hidden away! In the evening you can watch a movie in the cozy setting of “Kino bez popcorna” project, listen to music in “Kulturnaya stolitsa”, and eat vegetarian wonder-burgers in “Hare Krishna café”.
