Art critic and historian Yulia Demidenko, having studied a large number of archival and factual materials, restaurant menus, and memoirs from the beginning of the last century, talks about the formation and development of the phenomenon of public catering in pre-revolutionary Petersburg. About restaurants, taverns, pubs, teahouses, and other establishments, ranked by type and average bill. About how they ate and drank in old Petersburg, about the regulars of various restaurants, about promotion, advertising, and new products that attracted visitors (from summer verandas and bar stools to special offers on the menu and drinks), and much more.

Old recipes for dishes that can be prepared today using modern products are of particular interest.

The publication is supplemented with historical photographs, menus, and advertisements for establishments and offers a comprehensive view of the infrastructure of urban life in pre-revolutionary Russia.
