History
"Denisov and Nikolaev" is a restaurant that has its history since 1992. It all started with the appearance of a small cafe with one hall. In it, a friendly hostess treated visitors with dishes prepared in the best traditions of Russian home cooking and sweet treats according to family recipes.
For a fairly short period of time, the Denisov and Nikolaev cafe has become widely known among Petersburgers and city guests. The growth of popularity was promoted not only by delicious cuisine, but also by adequate prices, the emotional atmosphere of the institution itself. Here more and more often in the evenings there were not enough tables for guests with an attractive view of the Griboedov Canal.
Therefore, no one was surprised when a restaurant hall was soon organized in the room adjacent to the cafe.
Location
Today, two establishments of the Denisov and Nikolaev company (restaurant and cafe-confectionery) are waiting for their guests at the premises of house 77 on the embankment of the Griboedov Canal.
You can drive here and park in the neighborhood, but the narrow streets of the historical part of St. Petersburg are not the most convenient roads for traveling by personal car. Therefore, it will be more convenient to use the subway. The nearest three-junction station (Sadovaya - Spasskaya - Sennaya Ploshchad) is located just 400 meters from the restaurant.
Interior
"Denisov and Nikolaev" - a restaurant and a cafe-confectionery under one roof.
The restaurant's interior has become the epitome of modernity and aristocracy. Light from heavy-weight high-tech luminaires spills softly and muffled throughout the room. Against the background of walls painted in beige tones, black tables stand out with soft sofas near panoramic windows on the Griboedov Canal and compact chairs in the middle of the hall. Here, on the one hand, the interior of the restaurant is harmonious and beautiful, on the other hand, it does not distract the chefs from absorbing the culinary masterpieces.
The interior of the cafe-confectionery looks a bit more modest. The hall has tables with soft chairs and sofas for visitors, there are special chairs for the youngest guests. Brick walls are decorated with watches, antique mirrors and colorful collages. Black and white floor tiles were specially delivered from France. A wooden buffet with sparkling wine bottles and cutlery is custom made. But here, the interior is just a cozy addition to delicious hearty dishes and matchless desserts.
Menu
The Denisov and Nikolaev company managed to keep the basic staff of the professional team of cooks and confectioners of the "old guard" standing together at the very beginning of the journey.
Lunch in the cafe will be held in the best home traditions: a fragrant hodgepodge and delicious borsch, or maybe royal mushroom soup prepared for the first, stuffed cabbage from distant childhood or meatballs from fresh meat with a side dish for the second, and after that - an incomparable dessert with bright serve and the freshest pastries of our own production. If you want something more sophisticated, you can order an excellent steak from marbled beef or beef fillet with foie gras.
In addition to dishes from the main menu, special offers from the chef regularly appear in the cafe. Here you can make any cake to order.
And in the restaurant hall, guests will find flickering candles in the twilight and pleasant sounds of music, an elegant interior and excellent cuisine from the Denisov and Nikolaev chefs.
