Peremena

Peremena is a restaurant of contemporary Russian cuisine on Petrogradskaya Embankment, close to Sampsonievsky Bridge. Its approach is based on familiar Russian food, presented with a more current sense of flavour, colour and texture. The menu draws on dishes such as vareniki, borscht and blini, alongside northern fish, game, berries and grains.

The result is a modern interpretation of Russian cooking rather than a strictly traditional menu. Recognisable ingredients provide the foundation, while the presentation and combinations add a more expressive character. The selection also includes a dedicated wine offering and a dessert menu, extending the restaurant’s focus beyond its savoury dishes.

Breakfast is served in the morning and follows the same broad idea as the main menu. Familiar tastes are combined with a sense of abundance, making the restaurant suitable for both an early start and a longer breakfast. The service continues through lunch, dinner and late evening, with later hours at the end of the week.

The interior is spacious and restrained. High ceilings with arched forms, plenty of natural light and limited decorative clutter keep attention on the food and the room’s architectural details. An open kitchen makes the preparation area part of the dining environment, while contemporary art adds visual interest without changing the understated feel.

Peremena suits diners looking for Russian cuisine with a contemporary perspective, as well as those interested in northern ingredients, game, grains and seasonal-style flavours. It works for a relaxed breakfast, a daytime meal or an evening visit, with the riverside Petrogradskaya setting adding a clear sense of place. Reservations are available, and the venue’s breakfast and evening schedules make it practical for different dining plans.
