<\/p>

A new gastronomic spot on St. Petersburg\u2019s map is Sight. Coffee and Dine<\/em> restaurant, located on Petrogradsky Island in a renovated historical district.<\/p>

The restaurant comprises two areas: at the entrance guests can enjoy their coffee, take a snack or work on their laptop, while at the back of the room a nice slow lunch can be savoured. Part of the kitchen is visible so that food preparation and cooking can be observed.<\/p>

The original concrete and brick walls of the building have been preserved and completed with marble, metal and semi-opaque plastic. All the materials were carefully chosen and the general palette approaches skin tone shades.<\/p>

The space is a blend of the natural and man-made; and the idea is well illustrated by two matters greeting: live plants stretch upwards, to the metal garden sculpture overhanging from the restaurant ceiling. A pink marble bar counter and breccia floor turned into well-loved photographic objects right away.<\/p>

Shimmering and semi-transparent surfaces create a pleasant feeling of weightlessness, turning Sight<\/em> into an ideal place for meditative dining.<\/p>
