Today, the Ginza Project restaurant chain is represented by hundreds of establishments of various formats operating in the largest capital cities of the world - Moscow and St. Petersburg, New York and London. And once it all started with one small but respectable restaurant of classic Japanese cuisine, which opened in St. Petersburg on Aptekarsky Prospekt. Gradually, a large-scale international project grew out of it, uniting all its establishments with a single philosophy and a high-quality approach to the implementation of each new idea. "Ginza" is a status and expensive restaurant, but the most expensive thing in it is not the cost of dishes, but the atmosphere, just like in any other project of this chain. All of them are very different, but always recognizable by the approach to service, food preparation, the care of the chosen places and the perfect "getting to the point" of the createdinteriors. We will talk about this unique project and the first restaurant created within its framework in the article.

About the holding "Ginza Project"

Restaurants of this network today can be found throughout Moscow and St. Petersburg. And everyone will find for himself the place that will coincide with his ideas about the ideal institution, not just catering, but a place for the soul, eyes and stomach. Cuisine, design and execution style are not the only things that distinguish Ginza Project restaurants.

Moscow is it or any of the other cities, establishments of this network function everywhere, presented as respectable, status places ("Ginza", Sixty, Mercedes Bar, "Manon", etc.), or as quite democratic, but supporting always a high level of food and service in cafes, bars and even self-service points (Spices and Joys, Paul, Oki Doki, Mama Tao, Pesto Cafe, ObedBufet, etc.). Each place is beautiful in its own way precisely because Ginza Project creates all its restaurants with inspiration, soul, creativity and love for people, for food, for the place. And this contribution, made by both the founders, managers and staff, is felt throughout. That's why people come here and come back again, and not a single place is ever empty.

Ginza Restaurant

"Ginza" - the restaurant, which became the first and most famous of the entire holding, is open and currently operates inAptekarsky Lane, St. Petersburg. The inspiration for its creation (or, at least, the name) was the shopping street of the same name in Japan - the place where the most expensive restaurants in the country are concentrated. The Russian institution fully justifies the high status of its inspirer. Here is classic Japanese cuisine at its best: expensive, high quality, tasteful, not for every day, but worth the money spent.

Only the best chefs known all over the world work in the restaurant, and the kitchen is managed by the inimitable chef Sergey Khan, who specializes in Asian and Japanese dishes in their classical sense. In addition to the main direction, the menu includes hits of European, Italian and Uzbek cuisines. The authenticity of their recipes and executions are observed here unquestioningly - the most eminent chefs - representatives of these countries - come to the restaurant for "tours". Guests have no reason to doubt the quality or correctness of the preparation of dishes.

Interior, food, entertainment

The atmosphere of the St. Petersburg establishment "Ginza" deserves special attention. The restaurant has several halls, in each of which it is easy to detect the presence of natural materials and greenery. High-quality wood furniture, wicker chairs, textiles made from linen, cotton and other natural fabrics, muted and pleasant tones, soft natural light… The interior has everything to feel relaxed, comfortable and cozy.

Dishes, of course, also onheight: from the unchanging Japanese classics to the fashion trends of gastronomic Europe. You will never be left in the dark about the origin of ingredients, in particular fish. It is delivered to the cutting table of the restaurant straight from Scotland, Norway, France. You will always be answered the question of where this or that product was brought from, and will also be happy to give its full description. At Ginza, enjoy a delicious tuna tenderloin, fish carpaccio with citrus Japanese sauce, a light salad with new potatoes and octopus, and for dessert, treat yourself to a creamy mango mousse. Or maybe you prefer to enjoy the most tender beef tagliatta or have a snack with a warm Peking duck salad with citrus fruits and nuts? The menu has a position (and more than one) for every taste. The delights of the restaurant's wine list are not worth talking about - come and evaluate for yourself!

However, food and a pleasant environment are not the only things Ginza pleases its guests with.
