“The Noble Nest” is one of the places in St. Petersburg where you can find preserved the traditions of Russian aristocracy and restored the atmosphere of splendor, romantics and refined taste. The “Noble Nest” is located close to the Mariinski theatre, in the former Garden Pavilion of the Yusupov palace, in prince apartments of the most influential and the richest family in the tsarist Russia. The mansion was built in 1751 by the architect Wallen de la Motte, the author of many St. Petersburg buildings, including the New Hermitage. Years later the major part of mansion’s décor was lost. It was only in 1994 that the pavilion was thoroughly restored and its splendor came back to him, as it was at the time when the princes Yusupovs received their guests there. In the new birth of the pavilion the Ost-West Associations collaborated with the administration of the Yusupov palace. The restoration took two years of assiduous work of a team of high class architects and restorers. The original sight was given back to the exterior while the interior was reconstructed as a modern restaurant of a world class.

The interior space of the Noble Nest is divided into two dining halls: the red one and the blue one. They are decorated as XIX century noble salons and each of them can hold 25 people. The halls are located on two sides of the stairs leading to the second floor with a musical drawing room.

Classical music, refined furniture, crystal chandeliers, portraits of Russian emperors and princes Yusupovs, table layout and an exhibition of highest quality wines complete the aristocratic ambiance of the restaurant. 

“The Noble Nest” offers a menu made up of traditional Russian dishes, chef-d’oeuvres of the French cuisine as well as of dishes cooked using the recipes from the Yusupov family cookery book.
