Jérôme

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Name Behind the Address

Jérôme sits on Bolshaya Morskaya, one of Saint Petersburg's most storied streets, and carries the weight of a serious hospitality group behind it. The restaurant is part of the Probka family, built by restaurateur Aram Mnatsakanov — a figure whose name recurs across some of the most talked-about dining addresses in both Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Gambero Rosso awarded the restaurant 2 forks in 2021, a recognition that places it among the more carefully considered tables in the city.

The Probka Philosophy

Mnatsakanov has described his approach in simple terms: he shares recommendations the way he would with friends — personal, direct, and grounded in genuine enthusiasm. That sensibility runs through the Probka group's restaurants, where the stated goal is to bring together "true professionals" and "like-minded people" to create an atmosphere where guests can enjoy good food and wine with ease. The emphasis on wine is consistent across the group, and the attention to the dining room as a social space — rather than a performance — is evident in how the venues are positioned.

What to Expect

The restaurant offers lunch, dinner, and takeaway, and the group also runs catering. Beyond the dining room itself, Probka has developed a range of its own products — from hand-roasted coffee blended with Ethiopian beans and roasted in Petersburg, to handmade chocolates and private-label Bordeaux wines — which speak to a level of craft that extends well past the kitchen pass.

For anyone seeking a considered meal in the heart of Saint Petersburg, Jérôme represents a address backed by genuine expertise and a track record that Gambero Rosso has seen fit to recognise.
