V Chashche

The restaurant «V Chashche» is located on the grounds of the «Okhta-park» forest resort in the village of Mistolovo, Vsevolozhsky District. The concept is built around closeness to nature: chef Alexander Skvortsov emphasizes local ingredients and forest motifs in every dish. The menu includes a berry plate for 2,300 rubles, and nuts with seasonal fruit for 2,500 rubles. Homemade bread is baked on site and served with whipped butter and a seed mix. Hot dishes include lightly smoked Murmansk trout with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, venison fillet with baked celery cream, beef cheeks, and venison goulash. The kitchen combines a chef's own approach with European tradition, and the average check ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles. The restaurant is part of the infrastructure of a year-round forest resort — «Okhta-park» also has a hotel, cottages, a spa complex, saunas, pools, ski slopes, an amusement park, and a children's club. This makes it possible to combine lunch or dinner at «V Chashche» with a full day of outdoor recreation.
