Michele
About
A bar-restaurant and cinema from the "Happiness" team, located on St. Isaac's Square.
The heart of the project is a bar-restaurant offering innovative cuisine, created by chef Oleg Azimov, with the atmosphere of an elegant brasserie and the spirit of neo-romanticism. The Michèle menu is the result of the chef's travels and explorations, designed to be enjoyable for daily visits, from a leisurely breakfast to a lively dinner. Alongside classics like French onion soup and the Le Charlot salad, inspired by a favorite café in the Parisian Marais district, you'll find appetizers featuring fermented beets by fermentation chef Nikolai Berezkin, scallops from Sakhalin with koji butter and ramirez jam, and dim sum with Kamchatka crab. Despite the innovative approach and abundance of interesting dishes, you can always order fries to accompany a glass of champagne (Michèle's wine list pays special attention to this pairing), or ask for a chicken leg with mashed potatoes – it's not on the menu, but it's always prepared, just like in the beloved brasseries of Paris. In the depths of the restaurant, you'll find an evening piano bar with signature cocktails by Igor Vauflin and Taras Zavalyuk, and a vintage piano that delights fans of live vocals. There's also a cozy living room with a kitchen-stage, where the chef plays his favorite records and prepares something special. At Cinéma Michèle, you can seamlessly combine a movie with dinner before or after the screening. The renovated cinema in Angleterre, with its "Midnight in Paris" atmosphere, focuses on quality premieres, festival films, and cult classics, in their original language and with dubbing. Guests gather in the cinema bar beforehand for an "apéro" before the screening, but the bar service is temporarily suspended during the film.
