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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-guide-1), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renzo-sandwich) 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.
