Bourgeois Bohemians | BOBO

BOBO is an author-driven restaurant where contemporary gastronomy is in a constant state of exploration and evolution.

Brothers Artyom and Alexey Grebenshchikov created a space where this process can be seen, tasted, and experienced as a part of it.

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.

Vitaly Pushnitsky, “Earth”

June 12 – September 10

Vitaly Pushnitsky’s new solo project continues a series of explorations on the themes of transitional states and inevitable transformations. The exhibition features paintings, ceramics, prints, and video works. The title needs no explanation—and that is precisely why it encompasses so much. The artist is drawn not to the precision of definition, but to its ambiguity: where a word ceases to explain and begins to signify—an image emerges. In this sense, "Earth" is structured like a hieroglyph: a sign that describes not an object, but a relationship to it. The breadth of the concept allows it to encompass more meanings without becoming verbose.

Irina Zatulovskaya, “Seven and
a Half”

May 29 – July 29

This exhibition tells the story of the Zatulovskaya family and her personal memories, but instead of words, the artist chooses children’s drawings and drawings for children. Here you’ll find alphabet books she created with her daughter and
grandson, children’s toys, and, of course, her own works. One is sometimes tempted to call the latter "naive art," but rather, "childlikeness" is Zatulovskaya’s natural language—that realm which so many adult artists find it so difficult
to reach.

Andrei Kuzkin, “The Second Circle”

June 20 – August 16

The project "Andrey Kuzkin: The Second Circle" is a large-scale exploration of the themes of return, memory, and overcoming. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be the installation "Heroes of Levitation," which will be on view for the first time following a lengthy restoration. "In a Circle" is a performance created by Kuzkin in 2008. The artist moved in a circle inside a wooden formwork filled with cement. A thick rope was secured at the center of the structure, and Andrei tied its loose end around his waist. The performance lasted a total of about five hours. "I walked in a circle as long as I had the strength and the consistency of the cement allowed me to move my legs," the artist explains.

“Peak of Uncertainty,”
a project
by Maria Dmitrieva
and Elena Nemkova

July 19 – August 9

As part of the exhibition, the artists transform the gallery into a metaphorical space beyond familiar physical coordinates—the Peak of Uncertainty. Maria and Elena’s works shape its anomalous landscape while simultaneously preserving evidence of numerous attempts to find one’s bearings within it. Viewers will have to figure out for themselves the navigation system left behind by an unknown protagonist. Engaged in a visual and conceptual dialogue, the artists' works become part of a unified environment, guiding the viewer step by step from the beginning of the exhibition to its conclusion.
