Sever-Metropol

«Sever-Metropol» on Zanevsky Prospekt, 9, is a patisserie with a history that goes back to old St. Petersburg. It all began with a bakery-patisserie at Nevsky Prospekt, 44, first mentioned in the 1903 edition of the "Ves Peterburg" ("All of St. Petersburg") directory. Back then, people would line up on Nevsky Prospekt for fresh-baked goods, and the business survived two world wars and a revolution, remaining part of the memory of many generations of St. Petersburg residents. Today, recipes from the Soviet era are carefully preserved here. "Kartoshka" and "Leningradskoe" pastries, "Bird's Milk" and "Teatralny" cakes, "Buche" buns, and almond cookies are made the same way as they were decades ago — from natural chocolate, butter, cream, and boiled condensed milk sourced from Mordovia. Every ingredient goes through strict quality control, so the taste of the desserts remains recognizable to those who remember them from childhood. The establishment combines a mixed-cuisine menu with its patisserie offerings and is located near Novocherkasskaya metro station, which is convenient for anyone wanting to stop by for baked goods along the way.
