Named after its owners, the Hamlet + Jacksrestaurant in St.Petersburg, Russia splits its menu between inventive dishes made with local products, such as fish from Murmansk and deer from Siberia, and those made with international ingredients. It’s great to see that the dining scene has really evolved. Young and talented chefs have opened unpretentious gastrobars with modern Russian-Nordic cuisine that are a hit with locals and visitors alike.
The gastronomic history of Hamlet + Jacks is impressive, thanks to brand chef Evgeny Vikentiev. You can describe his dishes as avant-garde, unusual and even provocative, as they are true culinary masterpieces, striking not only with the taste, but also with the way they are served, and the special idea behind each dish.
There are two directions in the Hamlet & Jacks menu. “Ours” – dishes made from products of Russian origin, which Eugene and his chef – Maxim Razhev constantly find from local farmers and across the country, allowing our guests to discover new tastes and combinations. “Ours + Theirs” – in these dishes, accompaniment for Russian products are ingredients from around the world. Brand Chef gets inspiration from art, music and constant travel.
