Restaurant Usoff

Lieutenant Schmidt embankment is famous for its architectural ensemble.

Each building in this part of the island has its own history. Many of them are associated with the names of famous statesmen. House No. 19 in the middle of the century before last belonged to the collegiate secretary Usov. In memory of the former owner, the Usoff restaurant was opened on the ground floor of the mansion - now an ordinary residential building. The restaurant space is partly reminiscent of neoclassical interiors of the 19th century.

Wooden furniture with dark green upholstery is stylized as antique and harmonizes well with the preserved interior details - brickwork and metal ceilings. Such ceilings can be seen in the corner hall of the restaurant, located to the right of the central hall with a bar counter. At the time when the house belonged to Usov, the first floor was used for household needs. It is quite possible that the surviving metal structures in the wall are the former gates that closed the room where the owner’s carriage stood. However, the restaurant's interior contains references not only to the previous owner, but also to famous artists and performers who wore mustaches.

The walls are decorated with photographs depicting famous mustaches of the 20th century - Salvador Dali, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable. Guests of the Usoff restaurant will be able to try traditional Russian dishes in an unusual presentation.

When creating the menu, chef Rustam Shekhmametyev paid attention to the original recipe, skillfully playing with it using new ingredients. Turkey fillet served with broccoli, almonds and cranberry sauce. Glazed celery serves as a side dish for venison fillet. There are also classic combinations that, like any classic, will never go out of fashion - duck leg with a side dish of stewed cabbage and pickled apples, beef stroganoff with porcini mushrooms and mashed potatoes, solyanka. It is also worth noting the excellent selection of appetizers - smoked and pickled lampreys, milk mushrooms in sour cream, Ladoga joint and crispy pickled cabbage. Snacks are served both individually and as a set - an excellent solution for a company. Usoff has an excellent children's menu.
