Very very interesting place where you can find a lot a dogs 👍👍👍

Very rude waiter. Far from the Peter vibe, so unprofessional it was just hilarious :) Dessert was ok. One star personally for you, my friend, waiter.

Ordered some pelmeni with meat. They came a bit late so the waitress offered me complimentary dessert! Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. One of the 3 rooms is also a theatre with tables.

Very interesting place all russian poets gathered there at the beginning of the 20th century. So called silver century poets

A quaint hidden treasure with exceptional food and very friendly staff.

Nice performances. Not a great food.

Beautiful setting and lovely environment

Very nice

Ok

O! This is another story! Tickets were bought back in Moscow. An old literary cafe, in the basement, on Arts Square. They gave Dovlatov Compromises, one-man show, one actor, but just a masterpiece !!! The action lasted 2 and a half hours. The children went to St. Petersburg and were there 2 times, they also bought tickets much earlier. Both times are delight. I will definitely go again. Now about the place: in the cafe there are 3 small halls, in the hall where the action takes place, it is worth, I will not say exactly, +/- 20 tables, you can make an order, the waiter will bring everything, but when the action is going on, it’s not ice (although who then smacked with spoons). It is appropriate to take wine, coffee, tea, etc. The ticket for the action cost 1300r, the price does not include anything, everything that you order from the menu is paid after the fact.

Cozy, nice, friendly staff.Ordered espresso, tastes like espresso.Prices for the city center are quite low.Everything is cleaned in the toilet too.

The atmosphere of this place is mesmerizing. For a long time I dreamed of getting there and, finally, the dream came true) they definitely love dogs there, there are thousands of them) beautifully, the stained-glass windows are stunned, basement, creative)) and the poetess, who was discovered thanks to the wonderful and beloved artist Svetlana Kryuchkova, namely Maria Sergeevna Petrovs , just a miracle) the poetry evening was a success !! This cafe is more than 100 years old, and it is as good as new, both in the interior and in the creative atmosphere) is relevant and this is already a lot !!!

One of the most beloved theatrical places in the city. Intimate atmosphere, wonderful atmosphere. I especially like the evenings with the participation of SN Kryuchkova.

We watched Alexander Vertinsky. Yellow Tango. A wonderful performance.

A very pleasant place. Unusual interior. Tasty! Unfortunately, there were no tickets for the performance that day. Hope not to miss it next time.

Mentally! Beautiful audience. I really enjoyed it! Thanks!

Amazing place! Accidentally stumbled upon it a week ago and was amazed: I read it at Zoshchenkos, Averchenkos ... And it still acts as an art cafe. Today we were at the play, according to memories and songs by Vertinsky YELTOE TANGO. The hall was completely full and everyone liked it)))

A place where you want to come back again and again! ❤

Рекомендую начинать знакомство с Легенды. Ольга интересно рассказывает историю....

I didnt like the cafe at all, I expected that the cafe with the historical name would leave pleasant memories, but ... Uncomfortable, uninteresting, and the service turned out to be out of competition (I ordered a glass of wine and ice cream. The wine was never brought. ice cream another 100 grams of wine and some kind of dessert. For more than 15 minutes they figured out whether I drank wine or not and whose dessert). In general, a spoiled mood, unfulfilled expectations ...

Stopped in for a bite to eat. And we got to the play based on Sergei Dovlatov. Very good production.

A beautiful atmospheric venue, a theatrical cabaret, once the center of the seething poetic life of the Silver Age ... existed from December 31, 1911 until March 1915 ... reopened in 2001. Cozy tables and light snacks ... But you shouldnt come there just to eat, following the fashion or for the sake of tick ... You have to go there to taste the ringing poetry and listen to those who know how to handle artistic words)

The place is cozy and pleasant. And just drink coffee, and visit the show. By the way, about visiting the performance. The entreprise is wonderful, but there were a lot of people, they were sitting at the tables close to each other ... it was very stuffy.

Очень интересное место, хороший репертуар, в зале столики на 4 человека, можно заказать напитки, закуски.

The atmosphere is gorgeous, the music is great. But the staff are terrible - yes, we came in an hour before closing to DRINK coffee. We were ignored for 15 minutes, taking into account the absolutely empty room, 3 tables are occupied with us inside, and 3 more on the terrace, not so much for a cafe. Moreover, the impression was that all visitors were sitting with empty tables. The waiters scurry past, diligently avoiding their eyes, pretending to fuss. In the end, we were approached with a question (a woman with an unkempt haircut) Did you receive an order at all?Hmm, I rarely write negative reviews, but then the first impression crumbled in 10 minutes.But the music and the performer deserve a clean 5!

Люблю это место. И вам советую

In the past, it was a cult place where the elite of a bygone era gathered. Now there are tours for tourists, lectures and concerts. You can also sit in a cafe. The kitchen is very mediocre. There is no old atmosphere. Everything is cleanly deserted and dismal. The music in the cafe was inappropriate, so we switched on Vertinskys phone and so on to his songs and had lunch.

We watched the play Demonic Woman based on the works of Teffi. The staging is beyond praise! The actress Anastasia Lazareva’s game is gorgeous. The production itself is interesting, with humor, in one breath 👍. Reduced mark by 1 point due to the situation in the hall. It was very stuffy and hot! A small room, a lot of tables, a lot of people. The administration just needs to think through a ventilation system, maybe a couple of air conditioners. There is nothing to breathe towards the end of the performance. Cappuccino and dessert of 1912 were taken. Wonderful dessert: airy puff pastry with apples and ice cream). In general, I liked everything. The atmosphere of the theater is unusual and cozy. If it were not for the stuffiness in the hall, I would definitely put 5

Прекрасная атмосфера, великолепный спектакль.

Quiet cozy place, just a bite to eat.Without any bells and whistles but with good dishes!)) Price and quality match!

Historical place where poets and creative personalities gathered. Come to eat with our guests. Tasty, really brought orders like that for a long time and each in turn. It turned out that some had already eaten, while others were still waiting. Everything smoothed the champagne, and the children generally enjoyed themselves, rejoicing at the meeting after a long separation. Even in the cafe are literary and poetry evenings. Near the Savior on Blood, the Russian Museum, theaters and a monument to Pushkin. But especially pleased Ostap Bender with a chair. Interesting.

Great place if you dont look at the prices. The one-actor theater is beyond praise. Feeling of home comfort. Waiters do not distract from the performance, but orders are brought quickly. The prices, of course, are biting.

A unique art place where pictures of writers, poets and poetesses are collected, reviews of pop stars, theater, cinema; various interesting exhibits of dogs from scraps of cloth, poppier mache, wire, materials for dogs - lamps, clay. Where are the awards of this art cafe collected? The spirit of creativity is everywhere. Very intimate. There was jazz. Everything is very worthy, at a high musical professional level. Hence the ease of perception, and the mood is excellent !!! Delicious specialties are offered by the chef - salad, beef with vegetables, dessert under the brand name. You should definitely try it. Very tasty. Average price tag 1200 rubles - 1500 rubles. for the evening with drinks.

It’s poor, poor, the food is not tasty and “shy”, the coffee is not tasty. The waiter was sweet. The cloakroom is bullish and unpleasant. The interior does not express anything, without a face and superficial, as if this is the place of arrival of the old commies, and not interesting people. I do not recommend it.

A very interesting place. Were at the mono performance Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva. The performance impressed

The kitchen is a bit pricey if you go to eat here. But! The performances are atmospheric, almost always 100%. Although the place is largely tourist, the quality does not suffer from this.

I watched the performance The Legend of the Pianist in one breath, I really liked the actors play)))) I recommend this cafe to everyone!

When I am in St. Petersburg, I come here necessarily, at least for some sort of performance. Graffiti is a separate topic! Who did not leave them here! A kitchen is average, prices are not small, but not large, in principle, you can have dinner before a performance. Recommend.

This is a historical place and very significant! Im glad they saved it! The atmosphere, style, performances - everything is in one key. Leonid Taranov occupies a special niche in all this. I would compare him with Igor Ilyinsky - the greatest master of reading stories! I highly recommend it to all Petersburgers and guests of the city! You will be pleasantly surprised!

Difficult to evaluate. In terms of content - acting reading, design, respect for history - by six plus. As the place is bad. There is no ventilation, while workers manage to smoke in the adjacent rooms, which only worsens the situation. Service-4. Dishes - for two with a small plus. Seats. Choose a table not near the walls, because sitting on the wall benches at a table that barely reaches your knees is not comme il faut.

It is difficult to evaluate the place, like you can eat, but like a presentation to visit. Went to Leonid Taranovs one-man show Man without prejudices. Themes from Chekhovs stories work fine and in 2019, I was very pleased. The hall with a very small stage, a little sultry, but not critical.What really hinders is the wall space on the bench - they are extremely uncomfortable, you can safely throw out your back after the performance. The toilet is clean, but only one - get ready to stand in line. Served fairly quickly, you just have to adapt yourself to strum with a fork during a performance. The kitchen is not bad, but no more. He took a warm salad with beef - 3 minus, grill vegetables - 4. Beef stroganoff for a strong four. Corporate honey cake Stray Dog is just excellent, but Napoleon is somehow indistinct and for some reason with coconut chips, which is very distracting.

Awesome place, so atmospheric. The kitchen has become better. The performances are amazing. I just love it.

Favorite institution in St. Petersburg. Every time I come here for the atmosphere and solo performances. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to get to the performance of L. Taranov, I go to the city with his performances, as in another life. However, all the performances that I watched there are very impressive. In terms of food, everything suits me. I took a signature salad, dessert, a variety of hot dishes - everything is on the level and tasty. But probably just to eat, I would not go here. However, you can eat very well before the show.

This is one of the most iconic theater seats Peter. Yesenin, Mayakovsky and his comrades have been here. Now it is a cozy chamber theater, preserving the atmosphere of that time and presenting performances of a high level of acting.

Everything is super, but the cloakroom attendant does not know that the toilet is locked with a key!

Amazing place, something incredible. Entourage, atmospheric, historically significant place, alive.

A beautiful cafe with an unrivaled interior. There were on Odessa stories I. Babel performed by O. Popov - this is simply gorgeous. Emotions are just over the edge, I recommend it to everyone. The price tag for various dishes on the menu is much higher than average, but you can afford it for tea and strudel.

For many, this is more of a museum than a cafe. We went to see the place associated with Akhmatova. It’s a pity that we didn’t get to the play. I would like to wish this place to get a payment by card, many visitors pay cash in an uncomfortable position.

After the second visit, I changed my mind about the place. The setting is beautifully authentic and pleasant. But there is no beer (what is presented cannot be called beer). It is very annoying that the toilet is locked with a key like at a train station in the province, and that you cannot pay from a card.

Cafe is a high-calorie place, before you visit it, you should read its history, then it will be much more understandable and interesting to you. We were at the play Yellow Tango about Vertinsky. The performance takes place in the back room. Seating spectators goes for small tables for 4 people. Very tight, so you need to come in advance to take more convenient places. I don’t recommend taking it from the menu, it’s not tasty. A glass of wine or coffee. You need to come there for the performance! Here only enthusiasm begins! The performance took place in one breath! And even if you are not a fan of Vertinsky, be sure to go! In the interval, read the inscriptions on the wall, you will find many interesting things.

Art cafe in the very center of St. Petersburg) It is very convenient to take a break with a cup of coffee after the performance at the Mikhailovsky Theater!)

A wonderful art space with a rich history, very atmospheric. Visited a jazz concert, its a delight!

I drove in at night. All the conditions for a break on the road. Clean. Carefully. Politely. They told me how to get to the village.

It turns out that I have never been to one of the most legendary places in Petersburg. Such a concentration of famous figures of the Silver Age, perhaps, nowhere else is found. Enumerate them there is no sense. And to come here is definitely worth it! Every evening there are unique concerts, performances of the lecture, united by a special aesthetics. I want to note yesterdays performance, dedicated to Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva. It was very chamber, intimate and heartfelt. A huge thanks to Olga Obukhovskaya for her story and poems, and Elena Volikova for the amazing performance of romances

We estimate only from the point of view of the event attended, the cuisine has not been tried.We visited the one-man show of the Classics theater nervous peopleThe best experienceThe actor is brilliantly reincarnatedThe hall, barely breathing, all the time of the performance!Immediately there is a desire to visit more ...The atmosphere in the basement is ideal for such events.

Очень уютно, интересно, вкусно.

The kitchen is not the main thing here. The main event is, of course, performances or performances. Often controversial in taste, but as soon as you get there. Local draft beer at import price. Well, figs with you. Not a pub after all!

I have been there at the performances, and as a participant in a poetry event, and just wanted to have a cup of coffee with friends, and with my husband and little daughter. Both the interior and the atmosphere in the Stray Dog are more like a bohemian than a restaurant one, so it’s unlikely to be enjoyed by those who don’t know either the history of St. Petersburg or the history of the Silver Age, in short, those who cannot appreciate the establishment in the context of who when, in what century, he spoke, talked, had fun and weird. I do not advise those who just want to eat or sit on a gilded chair. I recommend to those who are interested in theater, poetry, history.

This is the place where you want to return ...

A stunning literary music salon with a grand history.

We went in for the first time with my wife.Ordered Idaho bread soup and dessert with coffee.As a result, dessert was brought out first after 30 minutes. First course ???The coffee is cold.Soup in 40. Bread to it in 15 more. The unfortunate Idaho potatoes were brought out an hour after ordering. And it was not only our problem that day. The waiter forgot what people ordered, and some left without waiting.

Incredible atmosphere for those who are in love with St. Petersburg..and the era of the beginning of the XX century

Were on Fedot-archer. Taranov is super. A little expensive 1500, given the scale of the event. Perhaps I felt this way due to the fact that I knew the work almost by heart

A small theater institution in which the tradition of ease of communication between actors and spectators continues, for more than 100 years.

Great establishment! The perfect combination of theater production and dinner! Recommend!

It is necessary to visit here. A place with history and that says it all.

Wonderful place! Unique cafe. Historical figures on the walls in photos, the untouched atmosphere of the gatherings of poets of the Silver Age. A cozy chamber hall, a small stage - create a special atmosphere for the perception of performances and musical evenings held here.

A very cool place with a rich history: poets of the Silver Age gathered here, and now wonderful actors are playing. We watched the one-man show Collection of Stories, played by actor Leonid Taranov, I highly recommend it to everyone, laughed heartily.

Unusual place, iconic for the city, but a bit dark and very expensive price tag in the restaurant!

We went to the play based on L. Filatovs fairy tale About Fedot the Archer performed by L. Taranov. Perfectly!

A very atmospheric place. When it’s so cold in St. Petersburg, it’s warm, cozy, tasty, and you can also watch the performance. Unusual interior. I highly recommend it to everyone !!

Cult place in which there is a feeling that touched the story ... Bread and spectacle! The kitchen is beautiful. Oochen filed quickly. I recommend the soup with porcini mushrooms, it is delicious!The service is very pleasant. Serving dishes masterpiece.About the performances: I can’t find the words, how much I am amazed at the sincere play and full dedication of the actors! Thank them so much! My daughter is 9 years old, was delighted with Taranov.

Atmospheric place of the authors performance. Not a theater in the usual sense ... rather an artistic skit ... a place where you can come to sit, have a drink, sing along to an artist ... and applaud heartily. The price is democratic, the hall is beautiful and clean, the audience is mostly 40-60. I will return on occasion

Long service, no half of the menu, bar and dishes.

A soulful thrill for lovers of Silver Age poetry❤️

Very cozy, atmospheric theater-cafe

Coffee where there are no clearly defined / divided cafe boundaries and a place to educate oneself to muses. In any situation, you can take a comfortable posture / position

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, complete delight! Great artists with a capital letter! Spent one hundred percent! Murazhki on the skin!

Perfectly.

If you just go to a restaurant, then- at the entrance no one meets or greets, how in the dining room you choose an empty seat,- There are no appliances and napkins on the tables. Neither salt, nor pepper, nor toothpicks brought us,- the food is not tasty, suitable for the dining room,- the waiter waited a long time, half of the order was brought after repeated reminders,- crowds of tourists come just like that - look, take pictures, they are in a coat around your table,- leaving, we said goodbye, but no one answered us, we didn’t even turn our heads.Do I want to come here again?Definitely NO.

Very Atmospheric! I recommend Leonid Taranovs solo performance

Insanely atmospheric place, autograph board, music, foodImmediately you feel like a Petersburger, you feel the atmosphere of that time.Napoleon cake, simply without words, divinely, definitely recommend to visit

A very original establishment. The service is excellent. Drank tea with pancakes. Wi-fi shared))). The socket was next to the table, which allowed charging the smartphone. On occasion, I will visit this place again and recommend it to my friends.

Were at the concert of the jazz band) I liked the autumn, but the service by the waiters leaves much to be desired!

A very pleasant place. We were at the play Yellow Tango, about the life of Vertinsky, very much. Warm, soulful atmosphere. Cozy art cafe, the history of which is more than a hundred years old. In this place you are imbued with some kind of unique, kind and pleasant feelings.

Silver Age. Here everything is done with love for this era of Russian art. Portraits of those who shone in this cellar in the early 20th century. Their photos. What faces! What an atmosphere! The kitchen does not matter. The main thing is spirit. Luckily twice - there was a wonderful and funny mono performance. Then they ate. Simple and tasteful. The choice of alcohol is moderate. Everything makes you focus on spiritual food and at the same time reinforces the spirit. I am very glad for my discovery! I am happy that there are such Petersburgers as the owner of this cafe Aristova E.B.

No cashless payment, expensive, slow service

Beautiful place! Solo performances are a discovery for me! The actors play capturing all the attention of the audience and hearts, eyes and ears ...

An original institution with a history. Excellent performance by Vladimir Borisov.

Great, cozy place.

Of course, “yes!” 😀 Can such a creative art cafe be refused a visit? Wait for us, “Stray Dog”, we will come to you on March 30 at 17. 00👋👋👋

At the beginning of the order, coffee was served, and only 20 minutes later, when the coffee was already drunk (cooled down), they brought cakes and dessert ...

Cozy and soulful, a place to listen to the performance of artists

Excellent. All performances are wonderful. I cant say anything about the kitchen, except for coffee and a glass of wine I didnt order.

Perfect place. Actors House and a cafe in one place. Nice repertoire. True, on November 7, the performance was canceled.

Couldnt check out this place because arriving at 22.50 it was already closed: (although the information in Google maps indicates that it works until 23.30.

Incredibly atmospheric, world café with an amazing history, stunning solo performances, musical, poetry evenings, etc. !!! I always go there every time I come to St. Petersburg.

The soup was brought, but no bread was served.A side dish was brought, but not hot!While waiting for the bread, the soup cooled down. ICE butter was served with the bread, but the bread was not warm.There were 4 of us, and the instruments were set for three.Instead of the promised 20 minutes, we waited a hotter 50. Provided that we were the ONLY guests in the establishment at the time of ordering!This establishment has nothing in common with the establishment that was here in 1912. The atmosphere of those years is not. There are not even tablecloths on the tables. Although the praises of the Silver Age are sung in the brachure, they themselves did not even try.About art objects made from glue and sticks, I will simply keep silent.P.S.The food was delicious, therefore, 2 stars, not one.

Weak surroundings, due to which the historical site loses its charm of literary art

Great atmospheric cafe! Wonderful performances! The soul sang! Heres a good kitchen, after all, a cafe. But this is secondary.
