Welcome!
The Karl and Friedrich restaurant and brewery has been serving its guests for two decades.
It seamlessly combines traditional Bavarian style with the latest technologies, friendly service and home-like hospitality.
The restaurant building looks like a mill with a tiled roof. It’s hard to find a more authentic place for a beer restaurant in all of St. Petersburg. The first glimpse of the mill leaves a lasting impression on our guests. The restaurant features 4 different size halls and an on-site brewery.
The restaurant is surrounded by perfectly manicured green lawns and the only real beer garden in St. Petersburg, known in German as The Biergarten.
The tables are set right under the shady trees, which is the main feature of a traditional Bavarian biergarten. The Karl and Friedrich beer garden features its own bar, stage and outdoor seating area, accommodating up to 1000 guests.
The restaurant’s interior takes guests to old Bavaria
Tables and chairs made of noble wood are harmoniously paired with massive arches and pillars dividing the room into separate zones. Ceiling beams and trellises are adorned with grapes and flower garlands.
The restaurant’s massive floor space is capable of accommodating a large number of people, while thoughtfully designed areas allow each guest to feel comfortable.
Meat dishes from Germany and Bavaria make up the majority of the menu
The main focus of our cuisine is to find a perfect food pairing for our beer, which is why our menu offers beer snacks to suit any palate. Preference is given to Bavarian and German meat dishes: Munich sausages, Oktoberfest chicken, pretzels with obatzda, goulash soup and many more.
Waiters dressed in traditional Bavarian costumes
We honour Bavarian traditions and keep the spirit of the place alive not just by brewing branded beer but also by wearing traditional clothes.
Girls are wearing Dirndl – a traditional woman’s costume. It comprises a blouse with a bodice on top and a wide skirt with a bright apron at the bottom. The ensemble is complemented by an ornamental necklace.
Men are wearing Lederhose, which means leather pants in German. The pants are lavishly decorated with embroidery and ribbons. Just like the young men of Bavaria, our waiters wear their lederhosen with leather suspenders and classical shirts. The shirts worn under the lederhose can vary in colour.

Our little guests can enjoy an on-site zoo
Where rabbits, squirrels, goats, geese, sheep and deer are carefully looked after. You are welcome to feed the animals with specially prepared treats, such as apples, carrots and cabbage. These can be purchased at the reception of the restaurant. In addition to the zoo, kids can have fun at the playground, which resembles a medieval castle complete with swings, ropeways, a sandbox, and a friendly dragon.
