About
The Repa, serving Russian cuisine, has opened on the site of legendary restaurant Backstage, once a favourite haunt of St. Petersburg's bohemian theatre community. The name is no accident: "repa" is Russian for turnip, a staple in the diet of ancient Slavs, and a distinct feature of Russian cuisine. The restaurant's interior was created by Russian designer Alena Akhmadullina. Historic autographs of brilliant figures from the arts world, such as Maya Plisetskaya, Placido Domingo, Diana Vishneva, and Mihail Chemiakin have been preserved on the walls. With a focus on produce and provenance, the restaurant's short menu features interesting ingredients from different regions of Russia and other Eurasian Customs Union countries. Head chef Igor Zorin takes his guests on a unique gastronomic journey, inviting them to rediscover long forgotten tastes and try something new. Every dish on the menu is made using authentic produce and seasonal ingredients, making them truly unique.
