St Petersburg
Set in the atmospheric Foundry building, Kuznya House has a creative menu that hopscotches around the globe, with tasty dishes like salmon ceviche with fennel, tandoori chicken, and mussels with frites. It's a stylish but easygoing spot for a meal or a drink, and it transforms into a lounge spot on weekends when DJs spin until the early hours.
Breakfast is served from noon to 2pm (till 4pm on weekends).
