We will devote this short article to an unusual place in the Northern capital - the Fazenda restaurant. We will consider the institution in detail, study reviews, interior, menus, features and much more. Ready? Then we begin!
general information
Positioning itself as a family, the Fazenda restaurant was opened in the city on the Neva on December 7, 2012 at 1 Kultury Avenue, on the third floor of the Rodeo Drive shopping and entertainment center. And from the first days I became very popular and loved among the residents of the nearest district and visitors to the shopping center.
Interior
The Fazenda restaurant is located in a residential area of ​​the city, which, according to many visitors, is its big plus. Just a few years ago, in order to “get out into the people” and “socially” have dinner in a restaurant, it was necessary to book a table in advance at the chosen institution, and most likely it was necessary to go to the city center, which is not always convenient. But over time, in the sleeping areas, cozy, stylish, pleasant cafes and restaurants began to open with reasonable prices and delicious dishes.
One of these establishments was Fazenda, a restaurant (Rodeo Drive), which delights guests every day.
The interior of the establishment is designed in an elegant style in warm sand tones, with wooden finishes in simple classics and is very reminiscent of a cozy, well-kept cottage or country house, which the name of the restaurant speaks for itself. Large panoramic windows provide a bewitching view of the city, it looks especially impressive in the dark when the lights and lights turn on.
The total area of ​​the restaurant is conditionally divided into three halls with massive wooden shelves, on which books, bottles of wine, decorative boxes with vegetables and fruits, teapots, porcelain pigs and hens and much, much more are arranged in a creative mess. This further strengthens the impression that you are not in one of the largest cities, but in a cozy, lovely house at the edge of the forest.
The first room is a bar room, tables are located along a long bar counter. The second room is panoramic, with huge windows all over the wall and with designer glass inserts on the ceiling arches. And the third is the smallest and most secluded smoking room, there are only 10-15 tables. The total area of ​​the restaurant has approximately 100 seats.
How to get there?
Since the restaurant is located in the building of the Rodeo Drive shopping mall, it is logical to assume that there is ample parking nearby, which can accommodate more than a dozen cars, so there are no questions about where to leave the car for guests arriving at the restaurant by their own transport .
Residents of the Northern District of St. Petersburg get to the restaurant mainly on foot or by car, and those who live far from the mall can easily reach public transport.
Working hours
The Fazenda Restaurant is open daily. From Sunday to Thursday from twelve in the afternoon to twelve in the morning, and on Friday and Saturday from twelve in the afternoon to two in the morning.
The kitchen finishes work approximately half an hour before the restaurant closes.
Kitchen
The Fazenda Restaurant (St. Petersburg) is rightfully proud of its kitchen leader, Maxim Tvorogov, a man and professional well known for his work in the Global Point Family restaurant group and for the Funky Kitchen project.
Thanks to Maxim’s bright author’s ideas and his great interest in organic farming products, the restaurant’s menu boasts unusual dishes that comply with the basic rules about healthy and proper nutrition.
Also, “compliments from the chef” are actively practiced at Fazenda. You could even say that this is a common practice here. Restaurant guests are always very flattered and pleasantly surprised.
The restaurant’s menu mainly includes dishes of European and Italian cuisines, as well as dishes prepared according to the original author’s chef recipes.

For children
Fazenda positions itself as a family restaurant. Cafe "Fazenda" is, in a way, a paradise for children.
For younger guests, a special children's menu is provided from environmentally friendly farm products.
The menu is original and tasteful. Children will be very interested to study it:
- salads: "Draw what a rabbit has grown in the garden for his signature salad";
- soups: "Draw portraits of the greatest soup lovers";
- pasta and pizza: “Think and draw new forms of pasta” and “Collect pizza yourself”;
- hot: “Which of the cats will eat fish for dinner today, and will call his friends to visit”;
- desserts: “Karl is a sweet tooth. Draw what desserts he dreams of. ”
The restaurant has a special spacious children's room where parents can safely leave their kids for dinner and enjoy each other’s company in a romantic setting.
The room for children is divided into two parts. The first part is a bed on which you can freely jump like a trampoline, the second part is a kitchenette where little housewives can organize their own restaurant.
In the children's room, children do not remain left to their own devices. Here they are engaged in a nanny-animator who will tell an interesting story, help to draw a picture, play or turn on an interesting cartoon.
Another reason families with children like to visit the Fazenda restaurant (Rodeo Drive) is the amusement park located next to the mall. Agree, for children this is very important!
The restaurant’s features include a separate hookah menu, the presence of its own pastry shop with amazing pastries, the possibility of preparing dishes to order and takeaways.
Summarize
Here, in a calm atmosphere with dim lighting, quiet pleasant background music plays, it smells of fresh wood. Children under professional supervision are busy with their own affairs in the children's room.
Attentive and courteous waiters work here. It will be cozy and good for all generations (grandparents, mothers and fathers, children and grandchildren). And most importantly, Fazenda is a restaurant (Rodeo Drive), where you are always welcome!
