In 1877, after the closure of the confectionery, a high-class restaurant was opened, which musicians such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Feodor Chaliapin frequently visited. Tchaikovsky is said to have ordered there a cup of water that turned out to be tainted with cholera, from which he died.[3]
In 1858–2001, the basement of the building was converted into a used bookshop, which became relatively well known. In 1978–81, the building was entirely renovated, and, in 1983, the restaurant reopened under the name of the Literaturnoye Kafe, or Literary Cafe.[2]
