René

«René» is located on the second floor of the legendary Singer House Bookstore at 28 Nevsky Prospect. The café's windows look out onto Kazan Cathedral — a neighborhood that sets a special tone for the whole place. The kitchen combines Russian and French traditions, with a menu created by brand chef Roman Kiselev. The project is run by the Aster team. Getting to «René» is easy: three metro stations are right nearby — Nevsky Prospekt, Gostiny Dvor, and Admiralteyskaya. The café is open every day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, so you can drop in for breakfast or a late dinner alike. The average check runs from 1,000 to 3,000 rubles. «René» offers a wine list and detailed calorie and macronutrient information for its dishes — convenient for those watching their diet. The venue offers gift certificates, and tables can be booked in advance by phone or through the website. For those who want to check out the menu and atmosphere beforehand, the café's website has a photo gallery.
