Leader Tower - the so-called building of the first skyscraper in St. Petersburg. This is a 42-story high-class business center ("A"). All its facades are capable of transmitting various images - such a sight 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 reach 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. Its discovery was eagerly awaited for about four months by many Russians. Have these expectations been met?
Leader Tower: Rooftop Restaurant
This gastronomic project got its name “Floor 41” not by chance. 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 there is an observation deck. It offers a magical view of the majestic city, which can not be admired. Nikolai Alexandrov, Sergey Glazyrin, Natalya Nekrasova - the owners of Floor 41 - had to work hard for the restaurant to start functioning. The work of staff has not yet reached an appropriate level. The menu is also being finalized.
The chef at the restaurant ("Leader Tower") was invited to the Spaniard Daniel Negreira, widely known in the world of culinary. The maestro is famous for masterly combining the traditions of European, Asian, Russian cuisines in his dishes.
Interior from Archpoint Design Bureau
A team of experienced designers from the architectural bureau did an excellent job at Leader Tower. The restaurant inside is very creative. Masters managed to bring some zest to the interior.
The main decoration of the space was a flower pot with flowers hanging everywhere from the ceiling. Some cockedams soar low enough for guests to touch these outlandish structures. So far, all the flowers are artificial, but the management plans to replace them with living ones in the future.
One of the walls of the establishment is completely covered with green moss (also fake). Those wishing to have lunch in a forest glade should choose one of the tables nearby.
In 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 (legs of tables,
chairs, bar , cabinets).
In the corridor there is a 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 this fireplace. There are small tables with round tabletops for private conversations. Sofas separate this place from the rest of the space.
And what about the menu
The concept of the new chef, Igor Kornev, consists in a creative approach and the author’s change of the characteristic national dishes of Europe, Asia, Russia. Original presentation, novelty, unusual symbiosis of products - this is what distinguishes the cuisine of the restaurant "Floor 41". Therefore, they call it copyright.
The main menu includes several sections: appetizers, salads, soups, josper (closed grill), hot dishes, pasta and risotto, side dishes, desserts. In addition, there is a Pan-Asian (poki, ceviche, tartar, tataki, sashimi) and bar (wines, vermouth) menus.
There are few original dishes in the list, the rest of the names seem familiar (until you see and try).
A great addition to expensive food is the stunning view of the beautiful city, sky and sunsets. After all, a panoramic restaurant (the Leader Tower contributes to this) has glass walls and a roof (not everywhere). Tables with comfortable sofas are arranged around the perimeter, allowing you to get aesthetic and gastronomic pleasure at the same time.

After opening the establishment, many customers were disappointed with the service and food. However, in 2016 the situation changed: most visitors admire both the cuisine and the service.

Desserts, cocktails, coffee, tuna tataki, author’s vinaigrette, sashimi set with onion sauce, cream of mushroom soup, tuna in nori are especially praised for food.
Families really enjoyed the playroom for children. The whole wall here is a
slate for drawing. There is a TV panel, toys, children's furniture. And children are not bored, and parents are calm.
