Ogorodniki

«Ogorodniki» on Institutsky Prospekt occupies the mansion of engineer Danilevsky — and this is felt in every detail of the interior. The windows have been preserved in their original frames, along with the wooden ceiling trim, creating the atmosphere of an old house with bookshelves and tables set with white tablecloths. Wrought-iron chandeliers give off a soft, diffused light suited to both a quiet lunch and an evening dinner. The restaurant's kitchen combines European traditions with Russian recipes familiar since childhood. An average check of around 2,000 rubles makes the place accessible to those who want to take their time — over good food in a setting with history behind it. The restaurant is easy to reach from the Politekhnicheskaya and Ploshchad Muzhestva metro stations. The address is 22 Institutsky Prospekt.
