Favorite place 22.13
The name of the restaurant – Favorite Place – is perfectly reasonable since it welcomes hipsters and businessmen as well as guests of the northern capital. The place is famous for its cocktail menu from around the world. Non trivial zoning of the dining rooms with the abundance of stairs and historically preserved ceiling covings with moldings give the restaurant a certain St. Petersburg charm with a slight touch of glamour. The menu gives a choice of European and Pan Asian cuisine and a wide variety of shishas. The place also has the confectionery shop. Breakfasts are offered on the weekdays until 12:00 p.m. and on the weekends until 6:00 p.m. The weekend evenings are usually noisy and crowded. This is a great place for pre-party, a must visit place, a trademark of Konushennaya Square. Nevsky Prospekt with its places of interest is close at hand. The restaurant is equally suitable for both dinners after 6.00 p.m. and a couple of cocktails after 10.13 p.m. (hence the name, 22.13).
