Bourgeois Bohemians | BOBO
Bobo is an author-driven restaurant that approaches food as a form of art.
Brothers Artyom and Alexey Grebenshchikov have created a space where each dish becomes the result of creative and intellectual exploration, transforming into an independent cultural event of St. Petersburg.

The restaurant opened in 2018 and over the years has become a destination for those who appreciate gastronomy and the creative culture of St. Petersburg. For many years we have been guided by a single idea — to connect the past and the present in a way that allows taste to evoke emotion.
We are fascinated by the moment when familiar flavors suddenly take on a new voice: when you eat a dish you think you know, yet sense something different, something deeper within it.
Artyom and Alexey Grebenshchikov envisioned BOBO as a space outside the mass-market format — a place where they could cook what resonates with them personally.
The brothers' background includes internships at colleges in England, Australia, Finland, and France. This experience shaped the principles that matter most to them: attention to detail and the pursuit of pure, balanced flavor. It is this combination that defines BOBO’s cuisine today.

Set menus are the signature of the restaurant
From the very first day, the restaurant has followed two directions: set menus and Á la carte (French for "according to the menu").
The tasting sets are the restaurant’s signature offering and are updated twice a year — spring-summer and autumn-winter. Each set is created in collaboration with artists and made using regional delicacies from across Russia.

Premiere
of the Dance Performance “Earthquake” musicAeterna Dance
March 20, 21 at 20:00
musicAeterna Dance is creating a new performance in collaboration with one of Norway’s leading contemporary dance masters, Jo Strømgren.
For reflecting on earthquakes and transformations of the world, the choreographer chose classical musical material — romances by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
"All his romances were written before he left for America. After that — none. Does this mean that romances point to something ‘real' that was lost? Do we all long for something ‘real'? Turning to art is like recalling something good when life is difficult. Memories of the ‘real' give hope for the future."
