Sever-Metropol

«Sever-Metropol» on Rostovskaya Street carries on the work of St. Petersburg's oldest confectionery, whose history began with a bakery at 44 Nevsky Prospekt — it was already mentioned in the 1903 "Ves Peterburg" yearbook. Back then, people lined up on Nevsky for fresh pastries and desserts, and the business survived two world wars and a revolution, remaining part of the memory of many generations of the city's residents. Here, desserts are made according to recipes by Soviet confectioners that became classics in their time: the "Ptichye Moloko" and "Teatralny" cakes, "Kartoshka" pastries, the "Leningradsky" cake, "Boucher" buns, and almond cookies. The recipes haven't changed in decades — natural chocolate, butter, and natural cream are used. Boiled condensed milk is ordered separately from Mordovia, with strict quality control of the raw materials. The menu is mixed, but the emphasis is on confectionery, which connects guests to childhood memories of the taste of real Soviet desserts. You can find «Sever-Metropol» in St. Petersburg, at 13-15 Rostovskaya Street.
