Leader Tower - this is the name of the building of the first skyscraper in St. Petersburg. This is a 42-storey high class business center ("A"). All its facades are capable of broadcasting various images - such a spectacle is new to the inhabitants of our country!

The skyscraper is located in the northern capital on Constitution Square, where there are many office buildings, hotels, bank branches. This place is considered the business center of the metropolis. From here you can easily get to the airport (Pulkovo), the center or leave the city.

In the fall of 2015, the Floor 41 restaurant was opened under the very roof of the Leader Tower skyscraper. Many Russians have been impatiently waiting for its opening for about four months. Were these expectations met?

"Leader Tower": restaurant under the roof

This gastronomic project got its name "Floor 41" for a reason. Occupying the last two floors of the tallest building in St. Petersburg - "Leader Tower", the restaurant is located at an altitude of about 140 meters. Directly from the hall you can climb to the roof, where the observation deck is located. From hereoffers a magical view of the majestic city, which is impossible not to admire. Nikolai Alexandrov, Sergei Glazyrin, Natalia Nekrasova - the owners of "Floor 41" - had to work hard to make the restaurant start functioning. The work of the staff has not yet reached the proper level. The menu is also under development.

Spaniard Daniel Negreira, widely known in the culinary world, was invited as the chef in the restaurant ("Leader Tower"). The maestro is famous for the fact that he skillfully combines the traditions of European, Asian, Russian cuisines in his dishes.

Interior by Archpoint Design Bureau

A team of experienced designers from the architectural bureau did a great job at Leader Tower. The restaurant inside is decorated very creatively. The masters managed to bring some zest to the interior.

The main decoration of the space was flower pots hanging from the ceiling everywhere. Some kokedamas hover low enough for guests to touch these outlandish structures. So far, all the flowers are artificial, but the management plans to replace them with real ones in the future.

One of the walls of the establishment is completely covered with green moss (also fake). Those wishing to dine in a forest clearing should choose one of the tables nearby. During daylight, the restaurant ("Leader Tower") is full of natural light. The impression is enhanced by the abundance of white in the interior (floor, ceiling, walls, columns, floor lamps) with the addition of gold (table legs, chairs, bar counter, cabinets).

BIn the corridor there is refrigeration equipment with products from which all dishes are prepared. Visitors can see almost all the ingredients of the dishes with their own eyes, including bottles of wine.

Another interesting corner is the area around a real fireplace. There are small tables with round tops for private conversations. Sofas separate this space from the rest of the space.

What's on the menu

The concept of the new chef, Igor Kornev, consists in a creative approach and the author's change in the characteristic national dishes of Europe, Asia, Russia. Original presentation, novelty, an unusual symbiosis of products - this is what distinguishes the cuisine of the Etazh 41 establishment. Therefore, they call it the author's.

The main menu includes several sections: appetizers, salads, soups, josper (indoor grill), hot dishes, pasta and risotto, side dishes, desserts. In addition, there is a Pan-Asian (pokey, ceviche, tar-tar, tataki, sashimi) and bar (wine, vermouth) menus. There are few author's dishes in the list, the rest of the names seem familiar (until you see and try it).

A great addition to expensive food is a stunning view of the beautiful city, sky and sunsets. After all, a panoramic restaurant ("Leader Tower" contributes to this) has glass walls and a roof (not everywhere). Along the perimeter there are tables with comfortable sofas, allowing you to get aesthetic and gastronomic pleasure at the same time.
