Severyanin
Severyanin is a typical St. Petersburg restaurant located in the old
center of the city, where quiet lanes run from Sennaya Square (19th
century’s largest market place) over the picturesque Griboyedov сanal.
There’s a play on words in its name – a Russian word ‘severyanin’ means
‘a man from the North' referring to Northern Russia cuisine traditions,
and at the same time to the pen-name of Igor-Severyanin, a remarkable
poet of the so called Silver age of Russian culture (the turn of the
20th century, ended with the revolution in 1917).
Severyanin restaurant appeared in Stolyarny Lane in 2011 specializing on
substantial Russian meat cuisine. The place was opened by Eduard
Muradyan, a notable restaurateur, and 2 years later reshaped by Aram
Mnatsakanov, another famous personage in the city’s culinary society.
Mnatsakanov retained the overall concept of a retro-style place with
Northern Russian cuisine and within this concept he made a lot of
changes: Severyanin has got a fresh creative team, a new signature menu,
a renewed interior and attractive events including music and poetry
nights, Russian tea ceremony, monthly workshops for children and themed
dinners.
Severyanin is a perfect place for a formal lunch or a romantic dinner, a
meal during a city tour or a coffee and cake with a friend. It will
help to keep your impressions after a night at a theatre (by the way,
Mariinsky is within а 10-minute walk along the canal). Almost regardless
of the weather you will enjoy the canal embankments, bridges and lanes
around on the way to our restaurant.
