The history of Prince Yusupov's dynasty dates back to 1563. The family used to possess the palace and several estates in Saint-Petersburg in the beginning of the 20th century including the tea pavilion where today there is the restaurant Dvoryanskoe Gnezdo (English literal translation The Noble Nest). Being talented diplomat, a collector of paintings, a fan of theatre and was a good hand at making spectacular balls, Prince Yusupov was very proud of his cook. The book with his author's recipes reached us by a miracle and is kept as a relic in this restaurant.
