"Ginza" (restaurant). "Ginza Project" - restaurants

Today the restaurant network "Ginza Project" is represented by hundreds of establishments of various formats working in the largest metropolitan cities of the world - Moscow and St. Petersburg, New York and London. And once it all started with a small, but respectable restaurant of classical Japanese cuisine, opened in St. Petersburg on Aptekarsky Prospekt. Gradually, a large-scale international project has grown out of it, uniting all its institutions with a single philosophy and a qualitative approach to the implementation of each new idea. "Ginza" - a restaurant is a status and not cheap, but the most expensive in it is not the cost of dishes, but the atmosphere, just like in any other project of this network. All of them are very different, but they are always recognizable by the approach to servicing, cooking, careful selection of places and the ideal "penetration" of the created interiors. About this unique project and the first restaurant created in its framework, we'll talk in the article.
