Successful restaurants often offer unique visual elements to entice customers and 'Le Courage' -- a new dilapidated mansion-themed restaurant -- is no exception. The vintage-inspired restaurant is located in Sankt Petersburg’s newly-built Russian House residential complex and mimics the appearance of a 19th-century mansion that requires repairs.
Each feature of Le Courage was deliberately stylized including "worn walls, chipped stucco moldings, antique furniture, and worn floorboards." The crublim ceiling features stunning golden chandeliers that are embellished with laurel branches and dried flowers -- appearing as if nature took over the restaurant during its "abandonment." Moreover, all the furniture has a worn, vintage aesthetic further enhancing the restaurant's theme.
In terms of food, Le Courage offers historical dishes inspired by the 18th and 19th centuries like cabbage soup and roasts.
