The official opening of Erarta Café summer terrace will take place on May 6.
The original cuisine by the Chef Artem Grebenshchikov, where each dish is a masterpiece, and the “best desserts in Petersburg” according to the most authoritative international travelers’ portal Tripadvisor have already earned the admiration of the city residents. In May, the restaurant traditionally opens its cozy terrace with bright interiors and guaranteed summer mood no matter the weather conditions.
The official opening ceremony will feature public installing of the sculpture “King of Beasts” at the entrance of the restaurant. The number of lions in St. Petersburg, is not precisely defined — this is the question of numerous debates and endless calculations. But, whatever the figure is, starting from May 6 it can be surely added one. The 6-ton (and this is symbolic) bronze sculpture by a Russian sculptor Sergey Kondrashkin will be installed at the restaurant entrance of Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art on Vasilyevsky Island. The monumental sculpture with a serious title “King of Beasts” was made of bronze with patina in 2015.
