BRASSERIE by ACADEMIA
BRASSERIE by ACADEMIA — the first French brasserie in St. Petersburg
A restaurant serving classic French cuisine, inspired by France’s gastronomic culture and its unique philosophy of art de vivre —the art of living beautifully, leisurely, and with pleasure.
The brasserie is a space with a warm, friendly atmosphere for everyday life, not just for special occasions. Here, people take their time enjoying breakfast with the freshest croissants and coffee, meet up with friends after work over a glass of French wine, share desserts for two, and often stay longer than they planned.
Chef's Breakfast
Start your day in style with a leisurely selection of classic dishes from the Chef’s special set menu, served restaurant-style, with true French hedonism and without the hustle and bustle of a hotel buffet.
The concept chef has put together a gourmet breakfast menu with a French flair for hotel guests: an omelet with mozzarella, a croissant with chicken breast and Béarnaise sauce, croque-madame, and crêpe Suzette, porridge, cheese pancakes, Greek yogurt with granola, and French toast with whipped cream and ice cream.
Breakfast from the set menu is served in the brasserie from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Lunch and dinner by the chef
Exclusively for guests of the ACADEMIA Vasilyevsky Hotel, the concept chef has created a three-course gourmet set menu for lunch and dinner in the finest traditions of classic French cuisine.
Spend time in the cozy atmosphere of the brasserie, savoring every detail and nuance: the variety of flavor combinations, the impeccable freshness of dishes prepared for you “to order,” exquisite presentation, and a cozy atmosphere that invites you to socialize without haste or fuss.
Lunch and dinner from the set menu are served at the restaurant from 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
ROOM SERVICE
After a long day in St. Petersburg, filled with events and experiences, when you want to take some time just for yourself without being distracted by your surroundings, you can always order dinner from BRASSERIE by ACADEMIA to your room.
Restaurant-quality French cuisine, served with carefully selected wine pairings, allows you to spend the evening in the relaxed atmosphere of your room—free from the hustle and bustle and without a dress code—yet immersed in the spirit of Parisian art de vivre.
Room service is available daily from 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM. Room service charge: 15% of the bill total.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE KITCHEN
The concept for the brasserie was inspired by culinary journeys through France. The ACADEMIA team visited four cities where the country’s culinary traditions took shape: Lyon, Bordeaux, Rouen, and, of course, Paris.
The ACADEMIA Brasserie menu is built around classic, straightforward, and accessible French cuisine. The format features a concise, well-thought-out menu without overwhelming choices, generous portions for two, and the opportunity to create your own culinary rituals.
The menu features French classics: croissants, gravlax salmon, Burgundian-style snails, onion soup, beef bourguignon, duck breast, entrecôte with French fries, crème brûlée, Paris–Brest pastry, tarte Tatin, and a cheese platter.
Behind every dish lies genuine craftsmanship, a passion for the trade, and a commitment to our guests.
OPEN A MENUBAR CONCEPT
The bar concept at Brasserie ACADEMIA is rooted in a date of special significance for France—the year 843. That was when the Treaty of Verdun was signed, an event considered the birth of cultural France.
This idea formed the basis for the signature 8/4/3 flavor system:
— 8 signature cocktails dedicated to the cities and character of France;
— 4 classic French 75 cocktails in various variations, crafted with respect for tradition;
— 3 dessert cocktails—the sweet side of France in a glass.
The brasserie’s wine list features more than 20 French wines, as well as spirits, where France takes center stage.
Restaurant interior
BRASSERIE by ACADEMIA offers a taste of Europe right here in St. Petersburg, the warmth of familiar gatherings, and the art of living in the moment.
The serene interior, the color palette of the decor, large windows and warm lighting, vintage photographs and objects, exquisite table settings, and vibrant accents evoke classic French brasseries, creating a cozy «home away from home» atmosphere.
Everything here is carefully curated so that guests can experience the atmosphere of enjoying life in all its forms—that very art de vivre for which France is so beloved.
