Fodor's Review:

Spacious, with soft lighting and earth tones, Restoran (literally "Restaurant") is at once stylish and traditional, and it bustles with tour groups and locals who know the Russkiy stol (Russian table) is the real thing – and a real bargain at $11. It's an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of Russian zakuski, or small dishes: soups, salads (such as tuna), and pickled treats like garlic, green tomatoes, and cucumber. The main courses are as minimalist as the decor; try the simple veal with broccoli and cauliflower in a cheese sauce. For dessert, return to the Russian table for teas, cakes, and other Russian delights.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Great Food and Great Room

Posted by Rosanne8 from London England on 1/12/07
This was the first restaurant we at in on a recent weekend break to St. Petersburg. We loved the minimalist look and feel of the restaurant yet the feel was warm and light with the huge window and candlelight. My other half had the Sauerkraut soup which is a must. For the main course he had beef stroganoff which was fantastic with plenty of sour cream. I started with the chopped herring and had the Venison in Cranberry sauce. We drank a bottle of Soviet Champagne which despite it being near freezing out side was some what close to room tempurature but still tasted fine.
