There are various restaurants on the Gulf of Finland, differing in price category, cuisine and the range of services provided. But today we will talk about one institution, which we strongly recommend that you visit. Special attention is paid to the restaurant "Bay" in Repino.
And now we’ll talk in detail about him.
Facility Benefits
The restaurant is located only forty kilometers from St. Petersburg, on the very shore of the Gulf of Finland (the first coastline), and is ready to welcome guests at any time of the year.
Fresh sea air is always abundant for visitors. In summer, you can take advantage of the wonderful sandy beach on which it is so pleasant to sunbathe and swim in the waters of the bay, you can even play beach volleyball in company. In winter, when the water freezes, it is possible to walk along the shore of the bay and look at the beautiful landscape.
Interior
Since this restaurant is located on the shore of the bay, the marine theme dominates in its interior. There is a cozy main hall decorated with wooden anchors, stylized as an old ship.
In such an environment it is easy to feel like a great navigator, who plows the
sea waves on a schooner and longs for great discoveries. It offers a wonderful panoramic view of the bay. It seems that a little more, and in the distance the shores of some mysterious country will appear, where many adventures await, and, perhaps, bright and unforgettable love.
In addition, in the summer, the Zaliv restaurant invites visitors to sit on the terrace, which is refreshed by a light sea breeze. And now a little about the news, which struck everyone not so long ago.
On September 2, 2015, the news appeared in the media that the Gulf restaurant in Repino had burned down. This, unfortunately, turned out to be true. The Zaliv restaurant really burned out, but today it has been completely restored and continues to receive guests as usual.
A bit of history
For many years, the coast of the Gulf of Finland has been a favorite vacation spot for Petersburgers. Coniferous forest with its healing properties, golden sand beaches, pleasant climate - and all this is very close to the city, only half an hour from the center. These places attract tourists every year!
Restaurants on the shores of the Gulf of Finland combine the opportunity to enjoy not only delicious food, but also nature. Agree, you always want to eat in a pleasant atmosphere. Among these institutions is the restaurant "Bay". It is located in the village of Repino, which in former times was called in Finnish - Kuokkala.
Back in the late nineteenth century, prosperous residents of St. Petersburg began to gather here as a resort, who wanted to relax here, but not only ...
It was considered prestigious to build a manor or a cottage on the land bought in these places, because who would not want to spend the summer in such a picturesque place?
Since demand creates supply, the rapid development of the village began at that time. The infrastructure and transport connections have improved (even a railroad has been brought up), several schools and summer theaters have been built, and traders have reached these places. And since visiting tourists had to live somewhere, a lot of boarding houses appeared in the village, which provided guests with the opportunity not only to relax, but also to undergo medical procedures.
Entertainment
The restaurant "Bay" still do not forget about the traditions of the rest of St. Petersburg, and therefore offer an extensive range of entertainment. For hookah lovers, there is a hookah room, for guests with children - a children's room.
The entertainment complex also has a video library and Wi-Fi. Those who prefer outdoor activities can have fun on the sports ground. On weekends (at night) parties of various subjects are held here and traditional holidays are celebrated.
However, winter is not a reason to abandon outdoor activities. Restaurant "Bay" has a special base where you can pick up entertainment for every taste. For example, a ride on the Gulf of Finland on a cheesecake - you must agree that it is a rather fun and safe way to get vivid impressions for guests of any age and sports training.
If you come with children and are not configured for extreme feats, then you can just get together and make snowmen. This, it would seem, a simple lesson will help to reveal creative abilities in a child and develop imagination, because it only depends on the sculptor’s imagination how the snowman will turn out. In addition, this is a great way to teach children to work in a team!
During the winter holidays, kids are offered many more different ways to have fun. Arrange fights with snowballs or build a fortress out of snow, and then take part in the old Russian fun - taking a snowy town. Easy as well as sledding from a hill!
For adults who come to relax with the company, on the basis of outdoor activities, another type of entertainment is offered - paintball. Its essence is to hit the players of the opposing team with coloring balls.
During the game, you need to imagine that you are on the battlefield, close are comrades, and you definitely need to defeat the enemy. A great way for corporate team building, isn't it?
Among other things, the Zaliv restaurant accepts orders for wedding banquets and events in honor of the anniversary.
